I spent a sweaty week in San Diego, trying to avoid the stupid weather, which was followed by a sweaty night with The Struts and Moon Taxi on Saturday. No regrets though, especially since we seem to be on a cooling trend this week. Yesterday was the first day I got home from the barn and didn’t pass out from the weather. But enough about the weather, let’s see what we have for the week…

Well, I’ve had a super busy but thoroughly enjoyable week! I crash landed from Boston straight into San Diego Comic Con. I had two press rooms, watched a few pilots (excited for Castle Rock!), and enjoyed a few panels like EW: Brave Warriors, Riverdale, Impulse, and Inside the Big Bang Theory Writer’s Room. I’m gearing up for a quick trip back to New York for a fabrics convention and then I plan to be home for a good long while. But enough about me, let’s check out the shows for this week…

Hello from New York! Or Boston. I’m not really sure at this point but I’m on a bus headed to Boston at the moment. I have a few days in Boston before I crash land into Comic Con. I had an absolutely amazing time on this trip complete with a double dose of Tyler Glenn in Kinky Boots; many Tyler hugs after the show; seeing the amazing cast of Boys in the Band including but not limited to Jim Parsons, Matt Boomer, Andrew Rannells, and Zachary Quinto, tons of yummy food, including a binge at Veselka; and overall good times with friends. There’s a lot of stuff this week that I can’t get to so you might as well go out and have fun for the both of us.

This past week brought about a bunch of unwanted heat and all I could bring myself to do was not much of anything. I did get to attend a reunion of sorts with a lot of my college theater people and I had an absolutely lovely time! It had been way too long and there was lots of catching up and stories told and some really cool stuff. One alum does the special effects makeup on Chicago Fire, which is rad! Another is still doing stuff at Disney, one is doing motion capture stuff, and another is still stage managing shows! Super cool.

These next few weeks are going to be insane for me. I head to New York Wednesday night for a super fun trip with friends! There promises to be a lot of food, laughs, and musicals. We are heading to Boston after New York to see Moulin Rouge and then I get back and it’s straight to Comic Con. Please pray for me.
