Thank you Carissa! the show will be awesome!

Not to turn too many of you off, but small clarification – it’s not “musical theater” per se, as in a musical, but more like “music-theater,” where musicians (a semi-famous trio called Brooklyn Rider and a steel drummer) are joining with 4 actors, 2 singers, and a kid.

TKOG’s shout-out has been wonderful, but just to let you know: you should watch the video on Kickstarter, and you can donate as little as a dollar. $13.11 from this outreach, and counting.

The ARTS, guys!

Girl, you never cease to amaze me in a really really good way. I love that you did this. I’m glad that not everyone looked at you like you were crazy. It kinda makes me want to try this in Dallas. I’m not sure what I would have done had I saw you… probably, I would have been jealous that I hadn’t thought of it first, like I am now!

That’s awesome about your friends show too!

I’m not visiting a doctor unless my stuffed elephant can come too! She likes getting to wear the surgical masks.

Dear, this is mother. I’ll be out tomorrow morning. I’m taking the red eye tonight. If you are at work Sister will pick you up and take you to her apartment and you can sleep there. I’ve given her my tofu chicken soup recipe. Then we can have a nice chat and visit a nice doctor who just loves poetry…you can even bring your sign with you. See you soon. xxxxx

Aw, all kinds of awesome. Love the Oogie Boogie image! Heh. Though from my cocktail knowledge of Bukowski, that might be more frightening than roaches.

Not terribly many. Most people kind of looked at us sizing us up to see if they could outrun us or were wondering where we escaped from. But we got a few kisses a piece and then used our dollars to buy the most mouthwash allowable by law.
