Well, I’ve had a super busy but thoroughly enjoyable week! I crash landed from Boston straight into San Diego Comic Con.

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.

I had a lovely weekend spent celebrating a lovely human’s birthday with a bunch of friends, both old a new. I also helped shave a horse (I’m still a little itchy) and I’m in the midst of a battle with my laptop regarding iCloud. I’m not really sure who is winning but for now, we will call it a draw. This upcoming week I get to see The Fray at the Del Mar Fair, which is highly exciting as I’ve never seen them before. Shall we see what else is going on this week?

This past week was pretty much what I needed but I only just finished unpacking from Bottlerock. Oops. There’s a massive amount of laundry still with my name on it in bold print.

I’ve had an abnormally busy but highly enjoyable week. It started off with P!nk right after getting back from Bottlerock and also involved a really quick trip to LA to see one night of The Struts four-day stint at The Roxy. This week is looking to be a little more low key for me, although Hanson looks tempting, which is great because I still need to do laundry and all the other normal life things.
