Last night all 8 of the short play groups who're part of the Theatre@First Summer Festival got together to perform in front of each other for the first time. It was so good! I LOVE everyone in my crew and think we have a great energy together (and I'm proud to report that after hard work and hours of practice, brief_life and I were able to successfully do a fist bump. Yes, we are JUST THAT WHITE).

It was also really fascinating seeing all the plays as a group, both for the enjoyment factor (I need to pause and note that I had no idea that urban_faerie_ was so good at physical comedy) and for the insights it gave--you can't watch 8 pieces by the same writer without coming away with a better sense of how his mind works. (Or hearing surrealestate's voice in your head. Same thing, nearly.)



Speaking of how minds do and don't work, in real life I have almost no connection with Brandeis University. So why was my dream last night like a recruitment ad for it? First there were the flamingo flocks I walked through in the parking lot, then the floating mountains connected by rope bridges where the classes were held, and then when I went into the coffeeshop everyone yelled my name like I was Norm from 'Cheers'.

I remember blurting out "Wow! I feel like Doctor Who!" I have NO IDEA what I meant.

Aww, sounds like so much fun!
Tell brief_life I say hi! I haven't seen her in forever!

Hello yourself, m'dear! Come to the show, and I may even get to say so in person! How're you doing, nowadays?

Well you guys will have to keep me posted on the dates and such and I shall see what I can do! I am hanging in there as best I can. Got caught in the storm today and I don't think I've ever been wetter outside of a pool, but hey, what can ya do, hahaha! Living in Waltham, so I feel kind of far away from it all at times, but it beats where I was by a longshot! :D

Okay, I've stared and stared and still have NO IDEA what this means!

In this case, it means I kept remembering things about the plays and the underlying themes that you'd talked about earlier, during rehearsals, and kept going "Ohhhh, she's RIGHT."


If it starts to happen more often, though, I'll worry. ;)

Yeah, except that we completely neglected to do it in performance. Hey, but we got in the line-through right before that! That counts, right? Once a day is enough; we don't want to wear ourselves out. :)
