i'm biting the bullet on this one. i took a office helper job for two days in a film production office. HA! i'm laughing at myself but there are some bonuses. A) i'm helping out a friend, B) i'm earning some much needed cash to pay for some much needed items for my upcoming trip, C) i'm getting out of the house (been a bit of a hermit lately in my saddened state), and D) i'm getting a major perk out of this thing: free tickets to this show! this production is actually for the dvd filming of the show (seems like a cool project). but alas, i am the lowly typer/faxer/proofreader. swallowing my pride but getting some good stuff out of it (i'm sure i'll be bitching by the end of the day).
haven't worked in a production office since i was fresh out of college, working as a production assistant, thinking i would be the next great filmmaker, working my way up the ladder. those days were numbered. production offices suck. long ass hours with long stretches of time with nothing to do. but for some reason there was always a ridiculously stressful situation at hand. i never understood how people could get so worked up about an actor not signing their deal memo. it's a friggin movie people, not the end of the world, ok? jeez.
these offices are all the same too. same plain office space with temporary office furniture and equipment. just new faces, stressing out over the same shit. it's rather amusing to watch now that i'm not trying to work my way up that ladder anymore (thank god!)
oh and speaking of, avenue q last night was fantastic (story line was basically about young people trying to figure it all out). i really loved it. when we walked in, the usher said "welcome to the r-rated muppet show" which was exactly what it was. great singers/puppeteers, memorable musical numbers, fun sets, and some outrageously raunchy material. i don't want to give away any of the good parts, but if you like the muppet show and sesame street and lived through your 20s, you would love this show too!

As we´re travelling through Europe, all the French and Spaniards keep saying ¨Oh, you´re from the US? I LOVE NEW YORK!¨ And then Dre has to admit that he´s never been, and I have to get increasingly ashamed that I´ve never taken him.
All this is to say...WE ARE COMING TO NEW YORK THIS WINTER SWEAR TO GOD. I have a free ticket, and so we can split the cost of one fare. AND I TOTALLY WANT TO SEE THIS PLAY!!!! Would you go see it again?
yay! glad to hear you're coming. you just can't be from the US and not know NY. so i'm happy dre will finally get his chance. :)
and yes, i would totally go to the show again. it was so great! this time, might want to try for half priced tickets, as they were pretty costly. but worth it.
