Wow it's been a while since I updated. Ok well we had this past weekend of shows and they went really well, until Saturday afternoon. For the Saturday matinee we had a sub drummer. He watched the show the last two nights and I got to the theatre early to review a bunch of the songs with him. So the show starts, and act one went totally fine. Intermission came and went, and when it was time to start act two, he was NO WHERE to be found. I mean we stalled for like ten minutes looking for him and nothing. So we started the act with no drums, just me on TAMBOURINE and also playing the keyboard with my free hand. Then, suddenly, a man from the audience gets up AND STARTS PLAYING THE DRUMS! And he was good! He read the music and everything. So we play most of the act and then the other drummer comes back for the last number of the show. Where was he? Oh, apparently he left and went to dinner. HE WENT TO DINNER! Firstly, how could you possibly think the show is over when I ran multiple songs with him earlier that day and he saw the show twice. Also, wouldn't you think the show wasn't done when you haven't played half of the music in the book yet? Secondly, DID HE NOT REALIZE NO ONE ELSE LEFT?? Anyway it was like the craziest thing ever and a story for the books. So Mary came back for the night show and everything went fine. Oh, and the sub drummer STAYED AND WATCHED THE NIGHT SHOW BECAUSE HE HAD PEOPLE THERE! Awkward...
Anyway so on Sunday after the show me and a bunch of the cast went on a haunted hay ride. We had a blast and there was also a haunted house and a couple other things. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Afterwards we drove back and we all chilled at the Johnston apartment. We played kings and president/a-hole and celebrity and it was such a fun night, until about 4am when one of the craziest/weirdest things happened that I'm not going to talk about because it isn't worth talking about. Let's just say that I didn't get to bed until about 5:30am and I got up at 7:45am to get ready to drive to Boston.
So Monday morning I got up early and drove to Boston. It's a really easy drive and I was fine until I tried to take the stupid mapquest directions and got lost. So I called Leora and she directed me to where I needed to go. So I finally got there and I got to see Leora and Brian and I ran into Babs on total accident! So I got to have coffee with her and catch up which was great. I had a lot of time to myself because they had class which was fine, so I got to walk around the area a lot and do some shopping (which is great because there is no sales tax on clothes!) I really like Boston a lot actually. The city is really nice and the buildings are great and there is tons to do. It actually kind of reminded me of London, I'm not sure why exactly. The only thing that sucks is driving and trying to park. Next time I go I probably will take a train or bus, it will just be easier.
So I got back yesterday in the evening and I spent about 3 hours cleaning the kitchen. Today I got up and went to the gym then cleaned the dining room. All I have left is the living room and the bathroom before Friday. Tomorrow I'm going to go see Young Frankenstein at Proctor's since I know some of the musicians so that will be fun. Until then, I got Joseph rehearsal tonight and then maybe I'll see a movie or something haha.
