what a *week*
Jul. 30th, 2007 10:00 amYesterday was the only sparse crowd (fourteen people?) of our entire run, which had packed--if not sold out--houses. While I still don't yet know how much of a profit was made for the Rudes (and how much of my own expenses for which I'll get reimbursement), a profit has at least been made. Damn straight.
So what's next?
SLEEP.
And after SLEEP, I'm going to get a proposal package together for the Monologues, something I can send it around to venues all over North America. And at the same time, I'll apply to more Fringe festivals. At this point, I'm almost thinking "fuck education and conservatory classes, I'm actually enjoying knitting my fragile ego back together at this point and do not especially wish to have it trampled again just yet." I think I'll probably still take the Character and Emotion class at Studio this Fall, but honestly, I don't know how much I want to right now.
I heard that the San Francisco Fringe is great, and the Montreal Fringe looks even more attractive after meeting
little_dinosaur, one of my LJ friends who--oh my fucking god she's real--actually came down here to see my show. I showed her RAVENOUS and wooed her by doing a one-man version of the TERMINATOR theme, complete with appropriate "clang!" noises. She responded with her trademark general awesomeness and stories about what it's like being the ZZ Top of beards among her gaggle of gay friends. A wonderful time was had by both, and I curse the miles between us now. Cuuuurse!
THE SIMPSONS MOVIE was surprisingly great. I actually found myself quoting it a couple times yesterday! This is a big thing, as I can't really recall quoting much of ANY lines from the past five or seven seasons of the Simpsons, aside from the J. Jonah Jameson rant, and the "Jesus on a Swing" moment, which is frankly one of their all-time greatest pieces, in my opinion.
In sadder news, my bowler derby got caught in the rain, and now it's kinda lumpy. NOOO! Can a hatter fix it up again? My love affair with a snazzy new hat cannot end so soon! And why the hell couldn't it hold up to rain?! It's a HAT! That's what they're for, isn't it?!
