Full update tomorrow. Peace...

Intermission From Life

Ahh, the beginning of Spring Break. Well, I do have Company One rehearsal tomorrow and a meeting. But that is a drop in the barrel compared to the work and stress I have been dealing with as of late.

I told you before about the possible stirrings with Flapper. Well, the shtuff has hit fan. Some disagreement has happened with the directors, and now the show is "posponed indefinately". Phruck. Now, I bet you all are wondering how I feel...

No comment.

More news about this to come later.

But for now, I am enjoying my break. Niamh spent the night last night after watching The Incredibles and having a very nice dinner. I have really missed being able to spend time with her. Yeah, I see her at our show. But a 4 minute chat while I am changing tuxedos and wiping sweat off my face during intermission is not all that romantic. But now... (ha ha!), its break! Time to do crazy things... Things you never thought The Farmer would do...

Going out to dinner! THE NERVE!
Relaxing on the beach! IMMORAL!
Sleeping in! A TRAVESTY!

Off to be sinful. Have a great break folks. Peace...

Another Quickie

After a long weekend of shows, and my finally battling off the remnants of a rather nasty cold, it is back to school for another week before Spring Break! Thankfully, the gods of scheduling at SJSU and De Anza have conspired together to make my break and Niamh's coincide. Amen...

It will be nice to be able to sleep in, to rest and get back a little pep in my step... But for now, it is one more week of classes, rehearsals for Flapper, and various other tasks that need doing. Ohh, possible major news about Flapper tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Well, I am off. But not before I get to say a big thank you to Emily, Daschele, Jen, Amber, Roya, Amy, Angelina, Spencer, and many former cast-mates from past shows for coming out to see me in Smokey Joe's Cafe! The show is the hot ticket right now! So to those off you who haven't come to see it yet, you better not wait! Tickets are going FAST! Call (408) 268-3777 to reserve tickets. Ok, pimping over. Have a good one, folks. Peace...

Another Show

As of 40 mins ago, I am officially an ensemble cast member of Cabrillo Stage's Summer 2005 production of Annie Get Your Gun! A really hard audition, but man it paid off! My first professional gig! Non-equity, but professional! They do such great shows too... Check out this shot from The Music Man last summer.



Damn, they do good stuff! Well, time to get back to resting. Showtime tomorrow night! Peace...

Farmer Dictionary

Ok, I have gotten several emails and IMs about several terms I have used in TDF. So here, a little clarification....

bastard (Bostonian accenture, BAH-stehd): n, a person who falls short of expectations. i.e. I can't believe that bastard stood me up. ALSO - Why is that bastard taking so long to make my drink?

carnie or carny (CAHR-nee): n, a musical theatre performer who is somewhat segregated from "straight play" actors.

douche (doosh): n, 1. a term for a person, usually male, who derives unnecessary pleasure from exuding power from a position of authority or superiority. i.e. That meter maid was a total douche. 2. Any person who act superior in a condescending way.

I hope that helps folks. Time for me to crash. Peace...

Back To Life

Opening night was INCREDIBLE! We had a full house of really responsive fans who just ate us up! Standing ovation! The whole show went very well and the audience was very vocal afterwards...

"Amazing!"
"The best show I have ever seen!"
"Incredible! So much energy!"
"HOT!"
"Perfect, perfect, perfect!"
"Better than (locAl professional Musical company name omiTted)!"

I smell some rave reviews coming out this week... Also, the press has already taken hold of the buzz of the show.


Artsopolis - Events: Smokey Joe's Cafe

Also, there was a similar pic in the Campbell Express, and a review should be in there later this week. Feels nice to be called the "hot ticket"! Nicole was wonderful arm candy after the show as well. Looking smokin' hot in her red dress...

But now, its back to having my weeknights free. For the first time in about two months... Man. I miss the cast already! But hey. I will do a full update tomorrow with new cam-shot, quote and post. Time to relax. Peace...

Killin' Time

Just a quick little note while I am in the library.

Ever have that feeling that you finally are on the right path with things? That for once, there is a greater amount of good in your life than ever before. That is how I feel today.

I woke up tired, sore, but happy. Hard work at rehearsals is paying off with a great show. Hard work at school is paying off with my graduation soon, and getting me good jobs. And at last, my life has been completed by a wonderful woman who I am at a loss for words to describe. Life is finally getting good for yours truly.

Possible update again later today. Stay tuned. Peace...

The Douche

A great night, shot to hell.

I spent a wonderful evening in the company of my loving Niamh, only to return her to her apartment and walk back to my car and find that I was being ticketed by a rent-a-narc who had to be AT LEAST 80 years old...

Here is the approximate dialogue:

Me: (noticing security truck blocking my car) Umm, sir. Can I help you?
Douche: What?
Me: This is my car.
Douche: Yes, and I am ticketing it.
Me: Why?
Douche: Because you are parked in a reserved space.
Me: Where does it say that?
Douche: It is a numbered spot. Some person paid more to have this spot.
Me: There is no sign posted saying that the numbered spots are reserved and I may be ticketed for parking in it.
Douche: (realizing I may be right) So what, you can't park there.
Me: (becoming irritated) There is no sign posted.
Douche: (getting into truck, becoming angry) It doesn't matter... I have to ticket you and steal your soul so that I may live forever. (revealing his true form of a dark demon of unimaginable terror)
Me: You have no power over me for I am the chosen one...
Douche: My dark powers are omnipotent. There is no saving you now, foolish mortal! (evil laugh)

So then we did battle on the death fields in the frozen seventh level of Hell, until I smote his ruined carcass at the shores of the Black Ocean.

And so, the Douche was defeated, and the peasants rejoiced. The land was safe again, thanks to my brave efforts.

But hey, at least I didn't get a ticket. Peace...
