Fireworks and Hurricanes

[arcane]

It's late this cold fall night and I'm finding it difficult to sleep. In part because the triple tall Americano coffee I had earlier this evening is kicking my ass, but also in part because of the high (or stress?) of opening night for this show -- only one more week and a half! -- has my head spinning and reeling. I find my thoughts occupying

Because of your posts on this subject, I actually took down my beaten up old copy of Under Milk Wood and read it a week or two ago. Thanks.

You're welcome. What did you think of it? I found it a little hard to get into just reading alone. It really is the type of thing that has to be heard to be fully appreciated.

I just wanted to wish you good luck with your play.

*thumbs up*

I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job and if I was in the area I'd go.

Thank you very much! I'm totally looking forward to it. I will definitely have an update here when it's over with.

Excellent! I after all live on the fringes of your life through my computer. Good luck Man, seriously. I'm sure Jess will tell me all about it when he comes back from the show, and if he doesn't I'll ask.

Nope. No accents in this show. It's being spoken in standard American. Which I actually endorse. I'm of the philosophy that you perform the show in the accent it's being done at. Unless one of the characters specifically is foreign (like a Frenchman in an otherwise American or British play or something). Other than that, people attempting accents sounds just like that -- an attempt.

You know I'm going, dude. I intended to go from the first, even if I'm the only one in the audience. I've always liked watching you perform--you're in your element on stage.

And if you don't come I'll personally work my evil on you in some type of cantankerous fashion. Like stripping you of your Frutang or cursing your frogurt.

[talmanes]

I'd be worried if it wasn't for the fact that I already knew I was going. I couldn't manage without my Frutang, and sometimes it's the frogurt that keeps me going when nothing else will.

I will definitely have a detailed account of the first show here. Have no worries!
