HA! And you thought I'd never write again!
Surprise! It's me! I'm actually updating my blog - aren't you all proud?
So what's going on? Everything. Nothing. All at the same time. It's actually pretty confusing.
I'm gearing up for Shakespeare on the Mountain. This year, we're doing The Merchant of Venice, and I'm looking forward to that. I'm currently not spending as much time as I need to with the script, cutting it down and mixing down some of the parts so as to have fewer characters I'm required to cast. I'd prefer to be economical with the casting this year - no 36-member juggernaut this time around.
Halogen is also booking gigs and laying the groundwork for our next CD. Ethan started recording the guide tracks for the melodies this weekend. Hopefully that went well. Our next gig, February 15th, is a concert for Spiritual Emphasis Week at Franklin Road Academy in Nashville, where, apparently, all the big names in country music send their kids: Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, Martina McBride, Marty Roe, etc. That'll be fun. Our next gig after that is February 20th, at Isom's Chapel UMC, off Mooresville Road in Limestone County. You're all welcome to come check that out. We're currently also working on securing some more gigs, none of which are yet at a point to be commented upon.
Haven is getting the kinks worked out. Now that I've got the wheel, I hope to steer us out of this reef we've been floundering on for the past six months/year. Customers are coming back in; we've got people covering all the hours; our gaming sales are up and, better yet, they're almost all direct orders now, so there's no guessing involved. Jason Morgan's anime classes are about to start up and, as soon as they do, that'll be another excellent source of income for us. Good stuff. If you're reading this and you haven't been to the store in a while, come back and give us another shot; I think you'll find that things have improved mightily.
Work is going well - keeping me really busy - but going well. I'm thankful for that.
Lori, my sister, is back in town, having graduated from BYU with her degree in ballroom dance. It's good to have her home, even if I don't see her much more often now than I did before.
My little - MARRIED!!! - brother Phillip is in town for a couple of weeks as well. They're having a reception this Friday night so people can come and meet the new bride and, theoretically, bring presents. It's good to see him. He just finished part 1 of his Nuke school for the Navy, so we'll see how the rest of it goes, I guess.
Everyone in Theatre Huntsville who possibly could has given birth in the past few weeks. It's amazing. Molly Pettis Reid, Amy Patel, Lorie Gill Hubscher, and our very own Movholic, who has had a particularly rough go of it, getting very sick the week after giving birth. We miss you, Movholic, and hope you recover quickly!! Plus, we also want to meet Sophia - I'm sure she's a cutie!
That's all for today, folks, and probably for a while yet; I don't have the most distinguished record when it comes to posting frequency.
