You can call me a zealot, I'd take a bullet for you any day / Well maybe just a pellet...
...it's difficult to say.
This is awesome:
OMG, benefit tonight. I'm excited and stressed and WOW.
Brought a couple of things to work yesterday and left them in the coat closet for safekeeping. Bringing the rest in my big bag today.
Stopped off at Where Eagles Dare and paid for insurance, so I can get my Equity stuff squared away today. John Chatterton seemed very happy to see me, but then I was bringing him money, so that's not too surprising.
Got home and did some relaxing, then headed out to Marie's Crisis. Saw Patrick there, who was fun, as well as Crazy Carlos (who insisted on taking a picture with me(?)- I expect it will be on his Facebook shortly). Katie Stodd was there, and she told me how proud she is of me, what with me doing my plays and having benefits and all.
Straight Jason was intrigued by my benefit, and may be coming.
Sang my balls off.
Bunch of crazy screeching straight girls with their hag-fags over the corner- Katie apologized for knowing them. They requested a bunch of stuff Franca doesn't play (Spring Awakening? Please), and then finally JRB- though none of them actually knew the song, they just wanted to hear "Shiksa Goddess"- I said I'd take the bullet if I could go behind the piano and look at the words. I did a reasonable version of the song for not actually having heard it in a while. They of course talked through it and left before it was over- so we achieved our objective in appeasing them.
Late in the evening we did Little Shop, and Buster appeared out of nowhere to sing "Feed Me (Git It)". Big Mark did the Seymour part there. I did an okay version of "Dentist!" (Straight Jason was gone by then).
Buster is apparently playing at Rita Mae's on Sundays now. He was all "you should come by!". Not that I don't cherish lesbian bars, but... probably no.
My postcards have shipped, they'll be here by tomorrow. Would be awesome if they were here TODAY, but that's most likely not going to happen.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "The truth is always more interesting that your preconception of what it might be," says author Steven Levy. Journalists "should not have the stories written out in their heads before they report them. Preconceptions can blind you to the full, rich human reality that awaits you when you actually listen to your subjects and approach the material with an open mind." I think that's an excellent strategy to use even if you're not a journalist -- and especially for you right now, while you're in a phase when the healing shock of the new is available everywhere you go.
