Zoom! Whoosh!

Where did this week go? It seems like only yesterday DearBoy and I saw RENT...and here it is nearly a week later. These past seven days have flown by. Every day, we've done something in the city that I've never done(DearBoy has done everything) and every night we've had dinner with various friends at restaurants that either they have never eaten at or we have never eaten at. It has just been so much fun.

We've walked around downtown, looking at the buildings and the sculptures. We've visited all the museums and saw the special exhibits. We went the the Butterfly Center and I got to have butterflies land on my hand. We've gone to the movies in the middle of the afternoon. We went on a boat tour of the Port of Houston (which was really, really cool). We drove out to the San Jacinto Battleground and up to the George HW Bush Presidential Library.

We've eaten. Oh my gosh, have we eaten! I haven't eaten this much in years. But since we're doing so much, my weight has thankfully stayed the same. We're totally burning off those calories. We've also shopped and I've bought almost a whole new summer wardrobe (thank you credit card debt!). All-in-all, it has been one of the most productive and fun vacations that we've had in ages.

Normally, as most of you know, DearBoy and I travel to a different city and do all of the same things. Only this time, we're in our own bed. And, when we get tired in the afternoon, we pop home, have a quick nap and then head out again. MissKitty is delighting in the fact that we're home so much. She's been running around much more and will climb on the couch and just start purring.

Today, we're going to the Houston Zoo. I've never been and dammit, I've always wanted to. Tonite, it a big dinner with a bunch of my friends. We only have three days left of vacation (including today) and I'm making the most of it!

RENT-heads Galore!

Wow. Who knew that a musical about AIDS patients and a gay man in love with a trannie had so many young female fans? The theatre was packed to the gills with young girls (accompanied by one older female) and baby fags. Lots and lots of young people. Many of whom had to be in kindergarten when the play debuted.

While I think it is a great thing that so many young people are at the theatre, they need to learn some etiquette about going to a show. And since their mothers are not good at teaching them things, I'll share some stuff...

Flip-flops are NOT appropriate shoes. Neither are pants that drag on the floor and that are dirty. Also, take off your baseball caps. And wash your hair.

Young women should look like young women and not skanks looking for sailors on shore leave. Cover yourselves, ladies. I don't need to see your nipples through your little, tiny dresses. And, while I'm on the subject, if you don't know how to walk in high heels, don't wear them.

Don't hoot and holler when someone makes their entrance on stage....especially when someone is just starting to sing a song. Yeah, I know Anthony Rapp is a RENT-god, but still, contain yourselves. Also, don't sing along. The other people beside you are there to hear the perfomers, not your version of the song. And some young people were singing along. Loudly.

When the lights flash, that means it is time to take your seat, not time to run up to your friends a couple aisles in front of you and start jumping up and down and screaming.

Stay off of the stage. At intermission, a group of kids tried to sit on the stage and take pictures. The teamsters told them to get off the stage. Heh. Just sit in your seats, kids.

I really enjoyed the show. It was my fourth time seeing RENT on stage. I'm a big fan of the show. Watching Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp perform live was very surreal. I've listened to the soundtrack so many times and I know their voices. The performance added another dimension to my love for the show.

By far, the highlight for me was hearing Gwen Stewart's solo in "Seasons of Love" live and in person. Gwen originated the role on Broadway and you can hear her sing on the soundtrack. Hearing her powerful voice on that stage sent shivers up my spine and I started to tear up.

When she sings her solo, you can feel that she truly believes in the words she is singing. The power eminates from deep inside of her and it is magic. Just pure magic on that stage.

I'm so glad DearBoy and I saw "The Broadway Tour" it has only enriched my love for the show and it will be an experience I'll never forget.....and neither will the gaggles of screaming teens that were in the audience with us.

I'm Too Excited To Sleep

Woke up super early today all a twitter. Today is my last day of work before vacation. My boss has the day off, so I'll be running the store.

Then, tonite DearBoy and I officially kick off our vacation with tickets to see Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp in Rent: The Broadway Tour

.

I'm super excited for this. It will be the third time that I've seen the show. And a friend of mine called me yesterday and said that the show has a whole nother dimension with Adam and Anthony in the roles they originated.

I already have my work clothes layed out and my theatre ensemble selected. Now, I just gotta get through the day so I can sit and be raptured by the boys (and girls) on stage tonite.
