Ready, Set, Summer...

Yeah, I know. I am overdue for a post. But hey, with finals over, Los Arboles over, and all the festivities of Nicoles 21st and Daves 21st, I actually have time. Add to that, it is officially SUMMER BREAK 2005!

Well, as you may or may not have read on Nicole's blog, AstroPoet's Corner, I planned a little birthday treat for Nicole last weekend. Go look at her site to see all the pics and the stories from the birthday girl herself.

And, as promised, here are some shots from a couple of STEP outings...


Jeanine, Me and Lani having lunch after the gig in the UCSC Student Union.


Tanzin (thanks for some of the pics!) and Lana (who I will be working at COPA with too!).


The view near Stevenson College at UCSC.


After the gig, its was off to the beach and boardwalk! Lani on some psycho ride I wouldn't do...


Can you believe it? A real, authentic, Pong Machine! Old school. Go see it at the SC Boardwalk Arcade.

That was about three weeks ago. This past Wednesday, STEP went and performed a staged reading of The Witch Of Blackbird Pond at come conference. Tanzin took some more shots and sent 'em to me.


Me messin' around with Jeanine before we left for the gig.


The Spring 2005 STEP Company, before our final gig.


Will Turner? Sort of... We did the reading in costume, and my character (Nat Eaton) is a sailor.


The gang in costume.

Good times. I won't be doing STEP next year since I will be so busy with Company One. But hey, I'll miss the people. Well, I have callbacks for AIDA at Bus Barn today, and an audition for OKLAHOMA with SDG later. So, I better dash. Welcome to Summer folks! Peace...

Moving Along

The Ride Continues

Wow, two years. It's kinda crazy to think that I actually kept this thing going this long. Every other attempt at a journal of my life only lasted about two days, tops. So, I am pretty happy with how this has gone.

I mean, its not like I still do daily posts, but I think I keep it interesting enough around here (when I am not being so lazy and actually post once every 5 days or so...) And on that note, let us look back at the Year Two of The Daily Farmer...

~Did Seven Brides... and reunited with an old friend, who is now the love of my life.
~Had a great summer break (all of one day), before I got into rehearsals for JC Superstar.
~Speaking of shows; Eight shows in one year. Deaaaamn.
~Got an award for Seven Brides... Sweet.
~School... Crap.
~Did Smokey Joes, the most fun show and the biggest I have ever done. Damn I miss that cast.
~Got cast in my first professional show, Annie Get Your Gun at Cabrillo.

And the rest is recent history. Not much to say but, its been fun, and I will keep trying to be witty (but probably fail miserably). As for now...

Had some big auditions recently. AMTSJ is doing Wizard Of Oz, and I must say that they make it hard as hell to get into their shows. The dance combo was lethal and I didn't even get a chance to sing... Grr. Ohh well, if they don't want a powerful lyric baritone/tenor in their cast, so be it.

Riding a wave of frustration from AMT, I went out for Aida at Bus Barn and got called back. More on that soon. I also have SDG and BBB auditions coming up, so we will see what comes out of all of this eventually. For now, I am off to bed. Not too jazzy for a 2 year edition, but with recent events in my life and the news (click here, more about this later), I am sorta spent. I'll probably do some pics on here tomorrow to complete the update, but for now it is time for some well deserved rest. Peace...

Two Years Already?

Phone-a-Farmer

Hope you like this. May be doing it this way every so often when I can't get to a computer. I promise I will try to be less lame and say "um..." less in the future! Also, the audio posts will not have titles on them until I get to a computer and title them. So if you see an audio post without a title, its a new one! Also, I may start archiving them on the left in a new section. We shall see. Peace...
