The festival is going great. We had a big house last night. Lots of great feedback. Everyone's energy was doubled last night. Each piece rocked.

'Surprise' went off well, too. It's tough being the last show to go up, but the crowd was really jonesing to laugh because the one before us was more on the dramatic side. Halway through our piece, moments before I was to get a glass of water thrown in my face, I noticed that the glass was particularly full last night. I thought, 'Well, I'm taking a huge shower in about t minus 10 seconds.' It was a huge splash and the audience laughed.
Ralphie loved it. I got red roses.

I think y'all should plan a meet. It'll be fun fun fun.

This is the first time I've done a show at this theatre where I can't really see the audience. I had no idea we had a full house until late in the play.

Glad it went well. Sometimes if the part doesn't call for glasses, I gladly take them off. It's a trick I heard Stevie Nicks uses to ward off stage fright. It helps. But then again, my prescription isn't that strong.

Don't do it, G2D! Run away! Having had several stage crushes and having been a stage crush several times, it's not a road to go down. That is, until after the show's over and after you find out the affection is being reciprocated.
