and they're off

Wow. Of course it's two thirty in the morning my last day in New York for about three months. I have to wake up in four hours. I'm currently uploading a bunch of pictures to my computer and doing some last minute room prep for my sub letter.

I can honestly say that I'm really worn out. And this four hours of sleep won't help make me more awake either. But, I am so incredibly excited. Kaitlin and I had a great show on Thursday that everyone really seemed to enjoy. The improv was very funny but also nice and sad and focused. It went over quite well at the Magnet, which we certainly both consider one of our homes. For me, playing with Alistair for the first time as well was very entertaining. Onwards and upwards.

Can't wait to see what people think of the show in Toronto. Can't wait.

J'aime le Magnet

For Louie, performing at the Magnet is second nature; for me, it's something I have heart palpatations about. Since I am a visitor here (though the lovely Alex Marino welcomes me with open arms), I'm always worried about making a good impression. By extension, I'm also worried about propping Mr. Pearlman up, because it's his theatre and I don't want to make him look bad.

So, for the first five minutes of our inaugural tour performance last night at Ampers&nd, I was scared (that Louie's voice was zapped from Coney Island roller coasters and repeated warm ups didn't help). But then I remembered that I love Louie, and he loves me, and we'd be alright. And voila: We were! It was fifteen minutes of bliss. Laughter and kisses. Scratchy voices and sandwich metaphors! Romance and cuteness. We've cornered the market on such. So watch out, other cute things and sandwiches!

Every show we do is something I cherish, like a little gem or a tiny show-baby. I'm dropping show-babies all over this continent. Adopt, dammit.
