ham fisted theatrics

Today was an awesome day!

First I was at a Hammerkatz tech at the theater at ten in the morning. That was not very awesome, mostly because of the hour.

But then when we left, Gregor asked who wanted to go to a barbeque in Queens, because it was an amazing day outside. It turned out I was the person that wanted to go.

The barbeque was on the rooftop of Sharon's place in Long Island City. Sharon (pronounced like the Israeli prime minister) is the best dude ever. When me and Gregor got there with our chips and beer it was just Sharon and his two roommates and their crazy house-sized where-Rocky-probably-trained sized apartment, which is being torn down next month. We went up on the roof. Bossa nova music was playing on the stereo and I ate more food than God. I drank many beers, ate everything that came off the grill including grilled pinapple, onions, portobellos, it was sunny and gorgeous and we had a full view of the skyline, later people praised my selections off the iPod that was hooked up, which is no joke all I want out of life.

Then around five Gregor and I went back to his place to pick up costumes and stuff. Piss-looking liquid was leaking from the bathroom ceiling of his new apartment, probably the least awesome segment of the day. Then we went to the show, all baked-in tired and sunburnt halfdrunk.

The show was awesome! So exciting. Very proud of it. Good to be back. Amazing fun invigorating show.

Then me, Fran, Gethard, Dominic went to McManus. More beers were had. Fries on my part. Gethard had beef stew over potatoes.

Then Fran and I, as well as AJ, AJ's friend, Tiffany, Sheldon, caught up with Dominic at the Magnet Theater for the Project. I'd never been to the Project or the brand-ass-new Magnet. It smelled like fresh paint, which reminded me of high school theater, which was generally a nice feeling. We drank forties in the back and watched improv.

Then Gregor called and Dom and I met him downtown at a party held at the apartment of one of the guys from Collegehumor.com. Apparently it is nobody's apartment, just an apartment the size of Alaska all the rich collegehumor guys mutually rented out to be their party/fuckaround pad. Gregor, Dom and I all reminded ourselves to be very rich someday. The kegs were cashed soon, we smoked cigarettes out on the fire escape, I thought a had another forty turns out I didn't, but whatever, sometimes you have to go to a giant ridiculous redneck-prom-themed party and not talk to anyone except Rina and Gregor and the people you came with, for a little while. Sometimes that's just the right thing to do.

Now I'm going to sleep. You can see how today was an awesome day. Summer is here. It is in effect.
