Well... Radio TBS finally close this last sunday...closing is always one of those bitter sweet endings... your happy that you have free time...but sad that you won't be all the people you have spent every night for the past 3 months with and sad that the show is over because it really was kinda fun...

I have come to a conclusion.... Acting is not so bad after all, in fact, I do kinda like it and would maybe do it again... however... the pull between being a tech and an actor is really weird.... I LOVE being a tech and no acting is EVER going to change that. But, here's the thing... I can't be an actor without being someway involved with tech...it's like...I HAVE to know what is going on on the tech side or I go CRAZY. The thing is, is that it's SOOOOOOOOOOO hard to be tech AND an actor... almost impossible... if Elicia and I did not have our assistant we would not have made it through the show because even though there were 2 of us, we had to act and do tech, and it's a very narrow road to walk. I went nuts not being on headset all the time for this show. I have NO problems being JUST a tech and not an actor.... I think more than anything what is weird is that I have been with Elicia at MINIMUM 4 or 5 days a week since APRIL, and now I don't see her AT ALL. Kinda weird. I mean, we're not friends or anything, but still when you are around someone that often and you don't see them, it feels weird.

JUST a tech. And damn proud of it!

So, after the show on Sunday we struck the set.... I did curtains this time... pain in the rear I tell you....you have to climb on top of really tall ladders and fight the the stupid curtain hooks and ties...

We finished with everything about 6:30pm and then we went over to one of the actors' houses for a pot luck... Soup-Salad-Bread-Dessert... I made Cream Puff Pie... didn't turn out too bad if I do say so myself...

The director got these adorable bags that play music and put in the Spam, Vienna Sasuage and a yoo-hoo for each of us... it's a thing from the play.... "Yes, our new park residents will recieve a complementary spam and vienna sasuage produce basket and a six-pack of yoo-hoo's!" lol. The main theme throughout the play was the Annual Drive By Live Christmas Nativity: Jesus and Elvis - A Tribute to the Kings .... and one of the cast members found this great book, to we all pitched in and got this book as the directors gift the book was entitled: Jesus and Elvis, a Tribute to the Kings... Now who would tink to write a book like that we have NO idea...but it was PERFECT.

The cast pitched in and got Elicia, Mike and I gift certificates for downtown Visalia... it's this thing put together where you get one gift certificate, but you can use it at ANY of the stores downtown that are on the list. Now that was really neat. I thought it was really cool that they did that since, usually, techs are kinda forgotten.... $50... now THERE was a suprise... I think we all were.

I am working on the next play...it's called: Beyond Karaoke. But I am just doing lights so I am not needed until the beginning of January.
So, school is going okay... I talked to a counselor and decided to add a degree to my list: Business Market and Management.

We'll see how that pans out....

Fresno State Vs. Boise tonight... GO Bulldogs!!!!!!!!! Woo-Hoo!!!!!!!

COWHIDE!!!!!!!!!!! is tonight, Mt. Whitney Vs. Redwood.... go whitney? I think MW might have a chance... and I use that term loosley because MW beat GW, and GW beat RW, does that mean that MW can beat RW? Maybe, let's hope...they NEED the confidence boost...

Over n Out...
