The Calm before the storm... Mood: not sure Now Playing: David Archuleta: Crush Topic: special events
This past weekend was kind of wonderful! As I mentioned yesterday, it really took me by surprise how much I enjoyed myself throughout the festivities. My weekend started off on Saturday at 44 1/2 where my friends organized a 'Fusion' party and attended by several cast members involved in the 'Fusion' storyline on All My Children. It was quite fun and was nice to see so many familar faces, some I had not seen in quite a long time! Well, following the party and my raffle duties, Michelle, Jo and I headed down to The Canal Room to see my favorite Rockstar, Bobbie Eakes, perform in the Daytime Divas show. Bobbie was joined on stage with Kassie DePaiva and my original OLTL co-star: Kathy Brier! It was quite the show! I think what made it even more enjoyable was the eye candy I spotted at the booth next to ours... YUM!
We stayed and hung out with Bobbie's sister and mom and watched as the girls signed tote bags and posed for pictures! They were like a well oiled machine! It was kind of fierce to watch how fast the line went and how gracious they were to their fans that showed up to support! I headed home and did my research to see if I could hopefully find the eye candy on Facebook and thankfully we have a mutual friend, so it made it a tad bit easier. Had I taken part in VH1's The Pick Up Artist last summer I probably would have had an easier time saying 'hi' but thankfully Facebook came in to save the day! Sunday, Lauren and I did headed down to Times Square as we wanted to see a show and when we got out there was a line for the Wicked Lottery so we decided to try our luck. Unfortunately we did not start out the day winners... we also lost tickets in the Virtual Hair line as well... we were not having much luck anywhere. So we walked down Broadway and were handed a pamphlet for The 39 Steps. I looked over the information and it looked like a good show and we had both heard good things about it, so we tried our luck over there to see if we could get student rush tickets! SCORE! $26.50 later we each got a ticket and headed to Olive Garden for lunch! The show was pretty amazing! It has been a long time since I've seen a straight play and it really fell in love with the theater all over again! I also loved seeing Jennifer Ferrin again, as I grew to love her as Jennifer Munson on As the World Turns! The entire cast was incredibly talented and the show itself was well directed!
The night brought about an Open Bar which was at the same location as last week's open bar and where all the fun happened! I had so much fun hanging with Cait outside of the Mess and it was fun to explore parts of the city I have not explored yet! There is so much fun to be had and who knew Sunday night was considered a party night! Aside from missing my alarm yet again this morning I think the evening was a success... a huge success and up until 9:51AM I was on cloud nine! Now I've promised I won't blog about the events that unfolded this morning and I will uphold that promise. So, instead take a look at what I discovered on my camera phone this afternoon on my way home!
Mobile Update Mood: cool Topic: on location
I am posting from my mobile so i will keep this short until i am by a computer. This weekend has been very interesting to say the least. The past has come back to haunt and the future is starting to look bright and wonderful. The All My Children fan club weekend is happening, Laura and Brit are moving in with Lauren and myself and I totally learned how I definitely need to work on my social skills. What does this all mean for Cosmopaulitan Entertainment? Stay tuned for the full report!
Time for something a little bit more fun to keep mind from everything else! I found this video on another blog and thought it made my own lip dub look pathetic!
Big Brother/Little Brother Mood: lucky Topic: la familia
I was about an hour late watching Big Brother 10 with Laura last night, so when my younger sister Michelle called, I figured she was calling to either complain or rejoice regarding the brand new Head of Household. I answer the phone and quickly say before she makes mention of any type of result: "Shhh, I haven't seen Big Brother yet, don't say anything." Well, she tells me she isn't calling about Big Brother and in fact she doesn't sound like she's going to talk about anything trivial as relality television. Her tone was incredibly serious and I quietly excused myself to the kitchen area to hear what she had to say. Apparently my older sister, Melanie attempted to call our parent's house in Vermont, when there was no answer she attempted our mom's cell phone. Again, no answer. She finally got a hold of my dad who explained they were currently in the Emergency Room. Our younger brother, Tim, earlier that day had a seizure. For those of you who may not be aware, my younger brother (who is actually only 16 months younger than me) is disabled, hanicapped, whatever you wish to call it- to me he's my brother. So, when something like this happens it kind of shakes us up a little bit. They released Tim last night from the ER and he was able to sleep in his own bed and so following my dentist appointment I called the house to hear how everyone was doing. Mom figured once Mel found out, she was going to get in touch with the rest of the siblings so Mom didn't have to worry about telling us and could focus on Tim. Tim's last seizure was when he was in the fifth grade, and then and now we still don't know what was the cause. The doctor's think it could be his increased activity during the day. I found out recently he's been doing more and more with the help of his aids who come during the week! Thankfully everyone and everything is ok... If you wouldn't mind though, keeping my brother in your thoughts, for however long you wish, it would mean a great deal to me. Have a great weekend... I've got a lot going on before I leave for Vermont on the 25th, so stay tuned!
Utterly Speechless and in Awe! Mood: special Topic: my two cents
One would like to believe from the title of this entry, that I have no words to describe last night, when in fact I possible could be just the opposite as 'speechless.' Yesterday morning, my friend (and temporary roommate, for those paying attention) Lauren, stood on line in line for Shakespeare in the Park tickets to that evening's performance of Hair. Being a wannabe actor, I feel like I have seen a good number of shows both musicals and straight plays and now even a few operas... well, last night in the park, I am very certain I had a spiritual experience while watching Hair. I can not say enough amazing things about this performance, I simply can't... which is why I'm so speechless when it comes to the review because I'm not sure which amazing compliment to give everyone involved! I may have been the only person who had no idea there would be nudity and I may be one of the few who had no idea what the show was evening about, which I think helped to increase my level of enjoyment. It was as if I was watching art come to life! At one point I got a little choked up when I realized that the issues in 1968 were very similar to the issues we're going through today and it makes me wonder, since these were our parents, when did they lose their ability to be accepting of everyone? When did they lose their tolerance for those different than themselves? At what point did they lose their 'LOVE'ing ways and turn back into their parents? I can not say enough amazing things about this show, so if you are in the city this summer, I suggest going and experiencing a piece of theater like you've never experienced before!
