• More and more rehearsals

  So, Rehearsals are continuing to go well. Up until yesterday it was nothing but music, music, and more music. Now we are off to blocking and choreography. The director of Flat Stanley has been in Clemson for tech week of Frog and Toad, so I've been working on Frankly Ben most of the time. As I've said before I have a lot to catch up on (still) and now with the choreography thrown in.....damn. The choreographer is a cool guy, he played Mr. Mistoffelees in Cats on Broadway and London for 6 years. Anyone who has seen the DVD performance, I'm working with that guy.

  I'm starting to get acclimated in the city finally, I've met up with old college friends who live up here now and some people I worked with in Charleston. I found a great Irish bar that is reasonably priced (for NY).

  Its odd to go to rehearsal and just sit for 8 hours and watch everyone else playing. I've taken more notes than I ever have before for anything.....ever. Mostly because once I get out on the road, I am going to have to depend on two other locals to help me with what needs to be done backstage so I need to have a detailed list of instructions I can give out in every city.

  Poi balls are the coolest thing ever created. I have torn my hands to pieces practicing with these things but I have determined that knowing how to use poi balls will get me a job someday.....I hope
