A Summer in Ohio, part One
Well, well, well. Looks like it's been over a month since I've updated this chronicle of my life.
What has happened in a month, you ask? Plenty.
I get here on May 19th, and I am supposed to be rooming with Ted, a student at Shenandoah Conservatory. Nice enough guy, but I realize that he has his stuff in the room next to ours. I inform him of his error, and suggest that he move his stuff into the room before he gets settled in. However, in his massive self-confidence, he informs me, in kinder words, that I need to fuck off. So, first day, and no brownie points for Ted.
Everyone else, however, gets brownie points. Many people are met, including Carl, who, Lord love him, honestly has no clue what's going on. Which makes it good that Justin is his ATD. Justin's a good guy, and very personable.
Anywho, a week goes by, and it's becoming clear who's here to work and who is here because they got desperate. Paths are cleared, towers are built, lights are focused, foam objects destroyed (with much gusto).
The following week, everyone else comes, including the actors, who also include Ms. Morgan Gengo. As fun a time I was having with these people here, it was a relief to see a familiar face. The meet-n-greet happens, meet some of the actors, realize that a lot of them are pretty cool, and overall positive experience.
Lights get focused, long nights at the theatre, blah blah blah.
We opened on Saturday, and it went well. There were about 750 people there, which really didn't look all that impressive, considering the house is supposed to seat 1700. I don't think it does, but time will tell.
Many drinks have been had, there's a porch overlooking the downtown area of Mansfield, and there's an indoor carousel.
I've lost weight, and styled my facial hair so I've got a beard-type thing going. I think it's quite fashionable, and I'm more than likely going to keep it once school starts.
We're also getting the internet installed into the apartments tomorrow, so updates will be steadier and I won't have to be in the library where I'm flanked by a guy who's checking the John Doe network (creepy) and a 56 year old lady checking her AdultFriendFinder emails (also creepy).
By the way, when the internet does come, pictures will be sent so you all can see where myself and Morgan Gengo are spending our summer.
And until then, I hope everyone's having a great time. If you want to drop me a line, call me at 276-728-1527. By the way, if you were one of the people that I called when I was completely thrashed, I apologize. Now when I drink, the phone stays on the charger.
For those of you that have both this and MySpace, I'm copying this onto my MySpace account, just so you don't read it twice.
Damn, I just missed a call from Chandler. Must call her back.
It's showtime in 7 hours, bitches!
