Hi everyone!
Sorry for the lack of updates! It's been madness here in NYC. I have not had a day off other than Thanksgiving in a long while. Which is a good thing but also makes me lose track of all my personal affairs.
So since my last update....
We closed 'Give A Man A Mask' which felt good. Mostly because I thought I was going to have some time off but think again Stefanie! The York offered me a job as the "administrative assistant" starting the next Monday. So since Nov 14 I've been working in the office here. I helped get the gala together which was the 21st. I met lots of cool people including Cheyenne Jackson, Norm Lewis, etc. Now I am helping around the office with random tasks. My main job has been coordinating the reading series and I've been trying to serve as a main contact point for those staged readings. While I don't think I am necessarily cut out for office work, I have been enjoying the change of pace. So yeaaah been working everyday 10-6. Except for last week which was just hell...
I started ASMing another show called 'Friends and Relations' which is about 7 gay men during the 70's and 80's. I love the show, the cast, the team... but I should never try to juggle a day job during tech week. I was putting in 14-hour days all week last week. How I was still functioning... I have no idea. But we opened the show yesterday and it was great! Wonderful audience and the cast did great!
Other than that, I've been trying to fit in as much NYC Christmas exploration as possible. During my dinner breaks, I am usually wondering around looking at lights and such since the show is down in Herald Square. (right by Macy's, etc) Tomorrow I am going to convince my roommates to go to Rockefeller and some of the Christmas markets near Central Park and Bryant Park And we started decorating the apartment but we're finishing that up tonight. (Pictures will be on facebook I'm sure)
I am counting down the days til I am home for Christmas! I honestly can not wait. It will be so great to be with the family. Thanksgiving was just not the same without them. I also am so super excited to see some of my friends from home. Only 15 days until Ohio and I meet again. I will be home for 8 days which I think will be the perfect amount of time.
Also today is the 6 monthiversary of Lys and I taking the plunge into the city!! And I have to say... it feels like it's been way longer than a half year! I think I can speak for both of us by saying this definitely feels like home. SOO much has happened in the past 6 months, I can't wait to see where the next months and years take us!
(I will let Lys update you all in another blog entry. Honestly, I have not really seen her or anyone in awhile just because of my schedule...)
Love you all!
Stefanie
