Posted: 8/31/06 at 11:07amI dunno Mary, sometimes I just see the Tarzan marquee and barf uncontrollably.
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

I don't think we're going though, my uncle is taking me and my cousins to a country club that day.

Posted: 9/2/06 at 5:41pmI...guess. You do realize it's just gonna be the regular playbill with I guess a slightly different cast, and not anythign special like opening night playbills, right?

Posted: 9/2/06 at 5:54pmI have two sets of programs/window cards and surprisingly I feel no sense of buyer's remorse. I don't know why I'm sharing that. But I felt that it was in all of your best interests to know.

Hey guys. I'm awful with reviews and all that, so I dont' really want to get into it. I'm sure you've read Ryan's review on the thread on the main board. Great show.
Brian was incredible.. of coure. 
Keith got a little better, but overall he still didn't do it for me. Richard... okay, look, I like Richard Kind. I really do, and I wanted him to be good. But overall, he just wasn't. He had some really truly funny and good moments, but they didn't make up for the majority of the performance. He was bland, he couldn't hold the accent (and when it could, it was awful), and at times I actually found him a little creepy - when he was all over Lucie in the balcony scene and their last scene. It just isn't the right role for him. I'd like to see him in something more fitting.
The speech by Marty Bell at the end was really nice... and I was crying, but of course. I started getting teary during DRN, and then I was gone. It was sad... but, well, it had to end some time I guess..

thanks Kerrie! And thanks ryan!
did Richard pick Lucie up in the last scene and carry her off?

Yes Dre.

I--may go into more details tomorrow. I posted on the thread, but I mean--more here was what I did, play-by-play kind of thing...I'll see how I feel.
