Exactly!
I am just glad I don't have to work at the restaurant in January because I am designing a show! I work my butt off on a theatre show without feeling like my soul has been eaten, which is nice.

Getting eaten is always nice.
that's great! It pays enough to support yourself with?
Surprisingly, yes! I mean I might do a few shifts a month at the restaurant just to get some spending money, but it pays my living expenses. This is my first time working with this company and they have two shows this spring that they have yet to hire a designer for, so if we click on this project, then I might work with them again, which would be nice to have some more jobs coming up. Plus I have some really high profile assisting gigs coming up, which don't seem to be paying as much, but are GREAT experiences learning from great mentors. (One of them, if it works out, is a world class designer who has designed for the Metropolitan Opera, and has been Tony-nominated) basically I am trying to keep my chin up after a really crappy Fall.

fantastic akiva. I'm always happy when people can make money doing what they really want to be doing.
Well one day we will go for drinks after an out-of-town preview of a Broadway-bound show you wrote, that I designed, and laugh about this day.
Akiva
from your lips my friend.
Some dirty things have been said about my lips earlier in this thread...
Akiva
What about me? I would have provided the conception.
I don't care what anyone says, the OBCR of Spamalot makes me happy and smiley.
It's a feel good cd for me.
Sara's voice makes me melt.
Akiva
She's singing Find Your Grail right now!
She makes the end of that song her ______, and shows it who is boss.
Akiva
lol, it's true. The whole cd is just so cheerful.
Ohhh, happy thoughts of my girlfriend. I would listen with you, but my mother already thinks my music all sucks.
you just won't succeed on broadway of you don't have any Jews
Her parts indeed.
Akiva
JG, did they change the line "no Tony Awards" for her after she won?
Keep your straight eyes off my girlfriend's parts!
I was wrong. Her last day was December 18th, 2005. So, I don't know...lol. I would love to.
I love your new sig JG. LOVE IT!
Yep... they changed "I've no Grammys, no rewards/I've no Tony Awards" to "My Tony Awards/Won't keep me out of Betty Ford's"
I love the internet.
Thanks for the siggy shout out. I was watching an old episode of Grey's tonight and Addison said it. It made me giggle and I find it fits me well.
"Not dawn, not dusk, not late afternoon but KNIGHTS!"
Sara was the Donna Murphy of SPAMALOT.
And by that, you mean?
hater.
