So things have been a little shaky in the last few days - no worries though, we will rise above. Without giving too much away, I'll just say that there is less work than anticipated at my internship. I have talked to Dana (my savvy New York Arts adviser) and we're figuring out some new internship possibilities. That's all I can say for now - I'll keep you posted.But other than that, things have been glorious. After all, I'm still in New York City. I'm proud to announce that Wednesday nights have been dubbed "Ice Gleem Social" night at the New York Arts Program. Yup, every Wednesday we will go to Baskin-Robbins and get $1 scoops of ice cream and watch the new episode of "Glee" at 9 p.m. The first one was a rousing success, and I can only hope for more of the same.
Also, Kelly and I saw The Toxic Avenger (yes, the musical) last night. This was my first Off-Broadway show, and a very exciting one at that. We got tickets for $20 twenty minutes before the show (thanks to the aptly-titled "20@20" promotion) and they were located...third row center. It makes me sad that more people don't go to Off-Broadway shows, but in the end I won't complain. The show had a hilarious book and a rockin' score, and was also a bit scary. Not to mention phenomenal
performances from Broadway's Nancy Opel as Mayor Belgoody & Ma Ferd (including a side-splitting scene in which she played both simultaneously) and Demond Green as the aptly-named "Black Dude" (what's with all the aptness, Off-Broadway?). Oh yeah, and American Idol's Diana DeGarmo was in it as well. Anyway, it was a good time, and was followed up by some even better Jamba Juice.Tonight, the whole program is seeing Race Music - my second Off-Broadway show! And what's better, we got our tickets in advance, not the day of the performance - what a concept! The weekend should be - nay, will be fabulous. Catch ya on the flip side!
