Week 2 and THEFT #1

So last week ended with Adam taking a personal day(for love reasons) and Jay was once again on for Sundeep/Carlos.  Also, Leslie had a personal day to fly to LA( for love reasons and a man called FLERN). I think the 2nd show was where Mamie hurt herself halfway through---she tripped over a table or something. So, we got to do a little fandango while she iced her feet. 

We escaped to find horizontal rain.  Thats right---the kind that no umbrella can do a damn thing about.  But, amisdt the rain and horror we then went bowling.  It is a great place down on 4th street( which i dont remember the name of). But, a mass gang of us took over 5 lanes.  Some were great, the majority of us were horrible. But, nothing a little buffalo wings and some beer doesnt remedy.  It was black light bowling, and we actually got comped alot----i am guessing they were making more money on apertifs!!!!!!!

Monday brought 6 inches of snow.  I flew out early in the morning, going to NYC for a rehearsal of a reading called BLITZKRIEG. Some chicas went to the ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME, while others simply hybernated.  I think they also went to LOLA, which is the restaurant of the American IRON CHEF( whose name i cant remember).

Tuesday, we were back in full force---some more recharged than others.  Something happened that night.....oh yeah. Stacey couldnt find her mail.  She thought she had left it in her dressing room, and then was hoping she had taken it back to her apartment.  Sad to say, she did not. So, living up to the reputation that Jill Johnson( head of Props) has had something stolen everytime she comes to Cleveland----Stacey fell victim to the curse. 

 Also, Megan saw someone stabbed outside her window Monday night. SO, now we are all on high alert!!!!! This town is madness!!!! As my friend Mike Cassara ( who grew up here and whose family owns JOHNNYS STEAKHOUSE) says----CLEVELAND IS DYING!!!!!   But on a happier note, BPM's girlfriend came into town.  So, we all watched a bit of the last BOND movie and then i crashed.  

Yesterday proved interesting.  Stacey waited from 11am until 7pm for the police to show up, also calling them 3 times within that time period.  Then, at 7:10 the dispatcher called her and said a cop was at our apts.  No wonder so much stuff happens downtown when they are laxidazical to come.......or there is just so much crime that they are overwhelmed.  Then an amazing thing happened: BPM's back zit burst.

In Boston, Ven had been trying to squich the cyst/zit on BPM's back that had apparently been there since April.  But, to no avail. Then, while watching TV Cortney had been playing with it and it burst.  We all were quickly rallied and ran downstairs. 

 This thing oozed white puss for close to 8 minutes. We caught it all on film, showing the remains on a black BALLYS TOTAL FITNESS card......but the unprecedented seepage may be too much for YOUTUBE. We will see.  It looked like PLANET EARTH when the spores growh is set in high speed as you see it grow to a full flower.

Then last night, with his back devoid of puss, BPM went on for the UPS guy. Ven is in FLorida for his Dad's 60th Bday.  HAPPY BDAY VENS DAD~!!!  He did great, and our music supervisor James Sampliner got to see it.  He is in town doing a standard visit to make sure we aren't all making up our own harmonies now.  He raved and was really happy, which prepared him for the great thing we like to call AROUND THE WORLD.

Different apartments create different themes, and we travel from one room to another in 20 min increments until we reach the end.  
1st was GRANDMA BOOTSIES SURPRISE BDAY party.

2nd was XMAS #1.

Then we had WHITE TRASH.

4th was XMAS #2.

5th was GAYLAND.

 

6th was THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF GOYA. 

Each room came with its own brand of libations and food, and costumes were abounding.  I dont know which room was the best---but i was rolling with laughter in full INDIAN garb. You cant wear it all the time, but this was the perfect moment.   

Today, understudy rehearsal and then WHIRLY BALL after the show. what is it you may ask?just wait for it....... Jennifer is back in town for massages and will probably have to correct some muscle spasms.  

also, as a closer, here is the homeless guy from Buffalo that we helped to win the underwear competition....look how happy he is with Cortney.
