A stroke of luck...

By a mere act of Supreme Being, I was able to see the man. The Transvestite. Eddie.

That's right. On Friday, I got to see Mr. Eddie Izzard at the Robert Orphium Theater! And he was fantastic!! Not to be too brash or anything, but HOT DAMN....if I was only bolder I would have tried to touch him, lick the rock star he is.

And he was ON!!! It was such a wonderful experience. I just wanted to share!

Peace.

I DON't Rant enough to have a blog...

I figured that since I must sit here at work among the monotany that is the job of a secretary, I should have the ability to rank about the tings that REALLY bother me about the world.

ST. Louis Theater
Why is this community fighting all the time? Is it really worth talking about another company behind their backs to this company only to turn around and do the same thing all in the name of a Kevin Kline Award? Really. Why do you have to make such a big deal about this awards? No one in the rest of the country (except Mr. Kline, who I hope takes no offense to these rantings) knows what the hell they are or why they should care.

Okay. I know that it feels good to be recognized by your peers for doing a good job. But it also feels better to be recognized by total strangers for touching their minds. And their heart. And make them question why they are who they are. Mabey I am expecting too much from my community. But I have always wondered why people do theater. If you want to be a "star" you picked the wrong field, honey. You won't get famous or rich until after you break it big in the movies. Theater is about connecting with people and making them think! At least that is why I love doing it.

I dunno. Mabey things are getting better. Who am I really to judge? I have only worked for about 10 companies in the last year. I have not even scratched the surface. I hope that I can adapt well enough to be able to work with more over the next few years. That is, unless my man and I finally try it in a New City. We'll see.
