The time, she flies.
Wow. It is now only 48 hours until the Great NYC Litmus test. By my estimation, at this time on Friday, I will be in a cab on my way to jalen_mara's house.
THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO!!!!
Tonight I need to clean, start packing, help my friend Olivia with some alterations for a dress, and maybe squeeze in some time to work on my list of questions for the workshop on Friday. Fortunately, Music Man rehearsal is an hour shorter tonight due to a conflicting even at the church where we practice.
Tomorrow I need to finish packing and get my butt in bed at a reasonable-ish hour, because we need to leave at 4:30 a.m. at the latest to make our flight. One really cool thing is that Olivia has recently started dating a guy who works for the airline we're flying on (complete and utter coincidence) and he got us bumped up to business class with two free checked bags. W00t! It's only for the flight out, but I honestly prefer that because it's so early it's going to be a much bigger hassle.
For those of you who don't know, the Great NYC Litmus test has a twofold purpose. (1) Get to meet and geek out with jalen_mara, with whom I've been cyber acquainted for an even ten years now* and have a proper NYC vacation. (2) To put some of her theater friends in a room (however many we can bribe and wrangle) and pitch the Shakespeare Thing to them. I've got a priority reading list and I'm working on that list of questions. One thing I did FINALLY manage to accomplish on Monday night was hammering out a floor plan of the theater in the book.
If all goes to plan, I'll come away with some new food for thought in taking the book up yet another few notches in quality, most especially on the technical side of things.
Oh, and we're also going to see Newsies on Broadway on Sunday evening. I've been trying to decide what to wear. Right now I'm leaning heavily toward my newly-finished River Song dress. :-)
