Hi! It's been a while, right? I was, like, has it really been a year and a half since I posted?
Yes. Yes it has. Wow.
So, in news. I have a second niece! She's turning one in a few days, and is every bit as adorable as my first niece. I love them to bits and pieces. <3 I am often called on to babysit for both of them, and I love it!
Fannish-wise, I, like so much of the rest of the country, was bitten by the Hamilton-bug. Which is why I spent the last week in Chicago. Where I watched the musical. It was awesome. When I first decided to do it, my mom was all, "but the ticket is so expensive, is it worth it?" and I told her, "it is to me, plus, I can afford it. And if I don't do it, I know I'll regret it." So I did it! And, yes, totally worth it. Karen Olivo's "Satisfied" would have been worth the price of admission alone, almost a week later and I'm still starry-eyed over it gosh!
Everyone was so good! I went on Tuesday, and then on Thursday night, I realized that I hadn't done the stage door after the show. Since my hotel was just down the street, I ran over right before the show ended and got a place near the front (though the line really wasn't that long) to get my program signed.
I'm keeping an eye on when SF and LA tickets go on sale, because, hell, those two places are way easier and cheaper for me to do than go to Chicago to watch it again, especially since I have family in both places that I could stay with if need be. Because it's not coming to Vegas until 2018, and I really, really want to watch it again!
