The Traveling has Stopped...for now

Back on the Road

My mini-road trip over a week ago was a good little trip. I went and saw my friends perform "The Disorientation of Butterflies" at FringeNYC. Which ended up winning the director, my friend, Alaska Reese Vance, an award for best Direction! Very happy and proud for her, and the team. :)

The next day I spent a day in the city doing things I'd never done before. Seeing "Ground Zero" (which is just a construction zone now as they build the One World Trade Center), Battery Park, the Statue of Liberty (just gazed at across the harbor), Frozen Hot Chocolate at Serendipity, Dylan's Candy Bar. Then walked through Central Park and "You've Got Mail Land". It was one of the most fun days I've had all summer.

Then I drove to PA for a few days. I went back to Sight & Sound to see "Joseph" and take a back-stage tour. Let's just say I didn't walk away wishing I won't work there one day. :-)

Then I got to see my sister-in-law and brother who was "home" for 2 weeks on his R&R from serving in Afghanistan. We went to Hoboken and saw Carlos' Bakery (of Cake Boss fame) They were filming a promo spot, so the bakery was closed, but we were able to see Buddy himself through the window. :) We did some walking, and then went to the Melting Pot for cheese and chocolate. I've wanted to go ever since I've heard of it last year.... :)

All-in-all, a fun trip. But by the time I got to Maine, I was ready to be in one place for more than 10 days. I've lived out of a suitcase all summer.

Thankfully I've got at least 5 weeks where I'll be staying in one place.

What's Next

On Monday rehearsals start for my next show: "Titanic: The Fated Journey". I'm excited. It's a musical, and I get to be Swedish. This is the show that I wasn't going to audition for, and had decided not to, but couldn't shake the feeling that I should. So I stayed an extra day to audition. :)

We perform in PEI the end of September, and then in October we're doing a tour of the Maritimes. When I know specific dates and locations I'll let people know incase friends off-Island are able to make it. :)

I'm also excited to get to spend part of Fall on the Island. :) It's been four years since I've experienced a real Fall.

I'm ready to have a schedule and routine. Though, I do admit this week of "nothing" has been nice :)

Come November, I have no idea what I'll be doing. But. One day/week at a time. :)
