< My latest project. :D
I never seem to sit down and write a blog entry anymore. I read other people's more than do my own. LOL
Backing up a bit, Gaia's visit was wonderful as usual. We spent the majority of her visit down at Myrtle Beach and then we spent a day, a very hot day, at Carowinds in Charlotte. Gaia had a blast at Carowinds, and I am not too sure she's a daredevil anymore. She was so hesitant about roller coasters and she was never like that. But oh well, I took her on her first upside roller coaster and she liked it but didn't like going backwards. LOL
So Ohio was wonderful as usual, my only complaint is my aunt's heavy smoking! I love her dog to death, though. Don't miss the 7:30am wake-up calls and her scratching at my door until I opened it. ;) She is so full of energy, I have a Jack Russell and people say that breed has alot of energy? HAH! They haven't seen Angel! ;) J/K She's not even a JRT, but she's absolutely adorable!!! :)
So Wicked the 5th time around was totally amazing and the cast I saw was amazing also. I saw the 1st National tour, which before I had only seen the 2nd National tour. This tour has Jackie Burns and Chandra Lee Schwartz as the two witches; both of who are very talented and amazing in their respective roles. Jackie is the newest Elphie to Wicked and she was just mind blowing amazing! I found myself picking my jaw up off the ground after her numbers. Chandra does Glinda so very well and is adorable when she has to be and serious too. I loved her "Popular!" As for Annie's opinion of if she liked it or not, all I got was she liked the books better. But she went and saw the show the following week with her mom, and I never heard anymore. :shrugs: The stage door was so weird for me this time, cause I had ZERO clue who any of the faces were in this cast...really! (SHOCKING I KNOW) Some of the faces I recognized but didn't yell for them to come over, I called it chickening out! ;) If this tells you how bad I am, the person that played Boq (Justin Brill) walked right by me and people stopped him and I was like who did you play? :smacks head: I mean thats how bad it was! Chandra and Jackie came out almost together; Chandra let us all know who she was and who she played, again I never would've known! I found out how terrible I am at using other people's cameras that night too. LOL ;) 3 attempts for this group with Chandra, 3 failed attempts with Jackie and the 4th time some one else took the picture and I got fired by Jackie for my horrible job! ;) LOL Yes she said to me "your fired" after my failed attempts! :)
So since I have been home, my latest project has been putting all of my Wicked mail into a scrapbook. I haven't gotten it all back yet, either! =O Shocking I know, but its filled up 10 pages so far! I got mail back this week, one from San Francisco, and I had just mailed a package to Felicia Ricci and I mailed Libby Servais a letter when I was in Ohio, but put a little package in with Felicia's for Libby, and oddly enough they both were doing their mail the day the package got there! Talk about great timing! hahaha I love the pictures Libby sent me, espeically the one of her and Felicia together. Their ghetto fabulous pictures! ;) I also learned that buckeyes are good luck, and yeah well I will do a blog post about that after I hear back from Felicia. ;) LOL
So that's it! Here are pictures from Ohio. :)
Palmer!! Annie's cat that she's had since we were in middle school! I love her to death!!!
One of many attempts to get a picture of Angel with a bow in her hair. Isn't she cute?!
Our view of the Wicked stage. These seats were pretty awesome if you ask me! Defying Gravity was awesome to see from this view! :)
Me with Jackie Burns!!! Ah she is amazing in Wicked. So talented and so sweet! I could've gone on for hours about how much I loved her as Elphaba, but I cut it down to only 5 minutes! :) Some one that was there had seen Eden Espinosa in Wicked in the same role and told her she was better than Eden. I was like wow! ;) I got a hug from Jackie after I quit rambling! LOL
Me with Chandra Lee Schwartz!!! Amazing onstage and so sweet off. She, thankfully, let us know she played Glinda, cause heck she could've walked right by me and I never would've known it was her! I started to ask if Mariand, the tour s/b, was coming out...but quickly corrected myself. LOL I dunno why I thought the s/b was going on, duh!
