Just a gay ol time:)

Recently I've just been having a gay ol time, in both senses of the word:)

When we were in Wallingford CT, the production team came and changed a bunch of things for Madison Square Garden. (We're played there last weekend:) The last scene in the show is completely different! We're in the dragon longer but on stage for about 1/4th of the time that we were before. we're just chillen behind a rock, center stage... not to happy about it - but what are you doing do! I think I've lost about 10 pounds just from sweating so much! It probably didn't help that the air conditioning in the theater was broken but still. Not safe!

Needing a brake, Walter, Laura and I went to NY to spend time with our BF's. I tried to surprise Jonny, but I did a horrible job of it. He figured it out, lol I wasn't even the slightest bit sneaky about it. I was like "Hey so what are you doing later?" "I think I might go see a movie" "Oh what time?" "7" (That's what time I was getting in) Not thinking I was like "No, I mean just, umm, call me if you go" lololol But never the less he was happy to see me. That night we went and saw:

On I-max... it was a lot of Panda, but I loved the movie. So funny, Jack Black's voice was perfect for the way the illustrated the Panda. Go see it!

The next day Jonny and I were like "what do you want to do?" "I dunno?" It being 1,000,000,000 degrees outside we decided we needed water. So on a wim we went to Fire Island:)

If you haven't herd of Fire Island it's strip of gorges land that's parallel to Long Island. It's divided into a couple sections, Pines - witch is the gay part, Chary Grove - for the lesbians and then supposedly there's a straight part but i don't know the name and I've never been there. They have huge houses with like 8-10 bedrooms that people do time shares at!

Now because it's a private beach anything goes ... some people were naked, some weren't. Most of the old over weight men were naked... lol

Because it was so last minute we didn't really plan our trip too well, we ended up having to wait an hour for the ferry.

You'll see the results of that later. But when we got there we went to this little shop on the Island to get some towels and new trunks... When we were trying on the suits we met this guy Dave... Apparently he's the "Best" massage therapist on the Island. He designated himself Jonny and I's personal dresser, telling us that we needed to get thong bikini's because we're young, "show off your youthful body now - when your old no ones going to want to look!" We were like thanks but we're going to go for the incredibly abrasively short, trunks instead:)

If you look closely that's Dave's Post Card that he posted all over the Island... lol

After 5 hours of amazing beach time, we were starving. There's only two restaurants on the Island, so our choices were limited. Luckily the food was great! After we ate we walked around, on our journey we ran into a couple of deer:

It was crazy we were like "come here little deery" joking of cores ... and it did! We didn't want to touch it for fear that the bad was just around the corner ready to attack ... could you imagine, lol went to Fire Island and got attacked by a deer.

Anyway, after the walk we enjoyed a gorges sunset:)

I love this pic:) The only thing bad about the improve day trip was that, when we were on our walk, although we had that great encounter with the deer we go attacked by mosquitoes... I'm not talking like a couple bites I'm talking 21 bites... 11 on my legs and 10 on my back and arms ... and that hour at the beginning of the day, when we were waiting for the ferry, this happened:

It was the 1 hour that I didn't put sunscreen on ... clearly a bad mistake on my part!!!

The next day Laura drove us back to meet the cast in Springfield Massachusetts... A ghetto city! I desperately needed to do laundry! The washers were full at the hotel so I got directions to a self serve mat, that was "7" blocks away. The guy lied - it was 15 blocks away and Closed! Pissed! And in the proses I had two allergy attacks! Picture it me walking around in the ghetto in my bright orange neon shirt, lugging my luggage, sneezing every two steps, saying profane words under my breath! I need to go to a doctor cause in the two days that were there I had 5 attacks!

But on the day off Sally, Anna and I went up to North Hampton Massachusetts, a very cute little gayberhood:) A lesbo friend of Sally's recommended it. We walked around enjoyed some really good Chinese food, some local marble slab Ice Cream:

Then we found an amazing knitting store. I got some stuff to make a "Go Green" Bag. Then we skipped on over to the fabric store were I picked out some fabric for some shorts, that sally is going to make for me:) I'll debut them when they're done:)

Right now we're in Elmira NY... Sally and I are going to have a Harry Potter marathon ... she has all 5 movies:) Anyway, I have a lot to report on about New York! I'm waiting for pictures... Stay tuned:)

Love you all! Talk to you later!

Love the Beach!

We had a day off when we were in North fork Virginia. So we went to Virginia Beach:)

Laura and I were walking down the beach, just enjoying a sensible conversation about how much we missed our significant others. When Steven, a beach photographers, pops up out of no were asking us if we want our pic taken (I'm thinking we do a quick pose, you know put your arm around each other, done and done we go on with our walk) So first it's low key, he's posing us like we're at a high school prom, displaying the corsage. Then he starts yelling at us to kiss!! We were like WHAT? He really thought that we were together! I couldn't do it - We were laughing so hard! So then, we're frazzled, people are starting to stare. All the sudden he tells Laura to get out of the pic and it's my solo time, he made me do the muscle man pose... you know arms up flexing, humiliated! Then it's Laura's time - now she loves that camera, most photographic person I know! He wouldn't let her pose herself, he's screaming put your arm down, put that arm down! Then he tells me to go back and lay next to Laura in the sand! (You know what els I love is that through all of this we never said no ... we did everything he told us, lol) Then all the sudden Laura is on top of me! I'm laying in the sand and Laura is ON TOP OF ME ... It was just too much! We lost the paper that he gave us with the address so we didn't know were to go to get the pics... but we sure did get a good laugh about it!!!!

After the impromptu photo shoot, I lost in a game of not it:

Yeah they thought it would be really funny to berry someone, I'm still finding sand in places I didn't think sand could get.

Once we were done with the beach, we went to get Tattoo's:)

Ok it's a henna, but it's supposed to last for 3 weeks. And it's not playboy bunny ears, it's a Pisces sign. It was kind of embarrassing, I couldn't put my shirt down, or sit for 3 hours cause the ink would crinkle:) lol wile we were waiting for the it to dry, we partook in an oxygen bar.

It didn't do anything, it was quite a waist of $15! It must have been bad oxygen... lol

So after that we did some good old fashion:

Oh yes we did put put...lol!

And just for your info I did win the game! Well... Kimberly and I tied actually:)

When we were done with our riveting game of Put Put we got some dinner and then went on a journey to find a haunted house. We found this instead:

Hahahaha Yep I know it's so cheesy, touristy, but it was really fun:) It ended up being an amazing day!

We didn't have to be at the theater until 5 the next day so I took the time to work on my tan by the hotel pool and run... now when I'm running I also think of it as a way to work on my tan. A friend of mine gave me some red running shorts that I thought would be a good idea to wear. Well the rout that I ran was right by a major road and a very busy museum. Now the shorts are extremely short... and I didn't have a shirt on, people were staring! Cars were honking! It was aether people thought I was devastatingly hansom or they hated my choice of running gear... lololol

So yesterday we did one show in Salem Virginia ... It was nothing but normal! We started our opening pep rally, I say "Lady's" and look down to a women breast feeding in the front row!!! I am not lying to you!!! Titty out baby having dinner I couldn't handle! And the baby must have been really hungry cause she did it for all of act 1!

So then we get to the "O the Things that Goblin has Grabbed" number and in the middle of the dance, the net of my basketball hoop gets caught in Laura's head piece! We try to get untangled witch just makes it worse, we almost pulled her head piece off... so we're not stuck. We finish the scene, run off together, now the net on my left arm is caught in the guitar that Laura has to pass off to Paul (the prob guy) not knowing I have everyone tangled in my net he grabs the guitar and it swings back and hits me right in the knee cap! It still hurts! Carma is rude! I don't know what I did wrong but she didn't like it:)

I love you all and will talk to you later:)

Boston Bummer!

Because we had rehearsals all day on Friday and then a 6 show weekend we didn't get much time to do anything in the city! On Saturday we went out for Alissa's going away dinner but that's it!

We arrived real early Friday morning ... every one went back to bed and I couldn't go back to sleep so I explored a little bit! Here's some pics of the park that I took!

There were kids everywhere! Like groups of 50-100 kids they're were probably 1,000 people in the "Boston Commons" I was like it's 8AM why are you awake?

I thought this church was cute, it's on the street that I'm going to live on one day... Newbury! It's a mix between 5th Ave. and the village! So cute i couldn't even handle it!

Newbury had this art gallery that i went into that had some original Andy Warhol's, The cheapest one was an 8 by 10 of some martini glasses, $13,000 I didn't even make that much last year. lol the most expensive went for $260,000, it was Marylin Monroe. It was funny she was like are you looking to expand on your Warhol collection? I said yeah the collection in my memory cause I'll never be able to afford these for real!

The theater was amazing, we played at the Colonial ... since we were there for so long we found out a lot about it! First of all the house was gorgeous! Unfortunatly I can't find a pic of the house at all! The theater has been open since the beginning of the earth basically! The first show that opened there was Ben Hur, with a cast of 360 people!

When building was bought there was this amazing marble table in it... so of course they kept it and it was an good choice ... this Very table to you see here:

Is the legendary table that Rogers and Hammerstein did all the final rewrites for, are you ready, OKLAHOMA... and later on, BOB FOSSE, during some meeting needed to show a tap thing for some show, so mine as well do it on the table... well he cracked it! Yep little careless isn't he:

First of all, how tragic is this, it's sitting in the Lady's Lounge... A table that has this much greatness deserves more, a museum, good lighting, something! We had music rehearsal in the there and the hole time I couldn't stop thinking about how R&H created a masterpiece, and we were touching up "Oh the things that Goblin has grabbed" ... it just didn't seem right ... I also couldn't stop touching it! I was hoping that some of it's creative juices would spill out onto me... lol I don't think it worked.

On the Sunday night show I got to go on as Pablo, it was really fun! I might get fired for doing this but oh well ... :) Watch at your own risk, I don't want to give anything away!

Stupid right lol! It was so sweet, Jonny's sister Andrea came to see the show. She was going to go with some friends of hers but due to a mix up in the ticket purchasing, she ended up seeing the show by herself. She said that the lady sitting next to her turned and said "So why are you here?" and she says "Because King Pablo is a friend of mine!" lolol that shut her up real quick! lol After the show we got a bite to eat! It was fun:)

I definitely need to go back! There's so much that I wanted to do and see but couldn't cause of the show... it's ok it's not like Boston's gonna go anywhere! lol

Love you all! Talk to you later!
