I have nothing against Cats.

Snowbird, I love the nightly shows on cruises, especially the Broadway revue. I always go to those, and my mom usually goes with me even though she's tired and starts to doze off when they turn out the lights.

One of my first shows was probably Barefoot in the Park or Little Shop of Horrors but they were productions at my highschool so I don't think they count, lol. Our school has performed a lot of good shows though. Grease, Little Shop, Bye Bye Birdie, Barefoot in the Park, Steel Magnolias, Twelfth Night, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged, Peter Pan, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Huckleberry Finn, Charlotte's Web, Godspell, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat, Once on This Island, and the one my teachers wrote, Evangeline. And a lot more that I can't remember. So I guess I'm lucky that I at least get to see and work on a lot of shows even if they are only high school productions.

BBG, I was reading back and I think we went on the same cruise. Except I went backwards and it was in 2003.

Snowbird, was it on Royal Caribbean? I think my family has gone on all of the different Caribbean/Bahamas itineraries they have (except for the crazy 10-day ones that we can't go on because my brother doesn't get enough time off from school).

It was either that one or Celebrity, I can't remember. We went 7-days. We did St. Maarten, St. Lucia, Antigua, Barbados, and St. Thomas. And we left from Peurto Rico.

My first show was Ragtime (what luck that was) and Cats was the second. Those were both when I was 12, and I haven't been back to NYC since then until this spring.

My first show was Phantom when I was 10. To this day Masquerade is still my favourite Broadway song.

Actually, I take my first show being Barefoot in the Park back. I now remember that I used to go to a lot of Playmakers shows when I was little...although I can't remember what they were now, lol.

My first show that I really loved, was, and still is Rent.

I was almost asleep when I was woken up by loud drunk people in the halls. As I tried to fall back asleep, I realized something.

My mom's birthday is today (as of an hour ago) and I didn't get her anything. Sh*t.

My first Broadway show was either Grease or Beauty and the Beast. I'll never forget seeing Grease - it was right after my 9th birthday, I had been looking forward to it for months, and early that morning we found out that my maternal grandmother, who had inoperable liver cancer, had passed away. My mother briefly debated whether or not we would still go and decided that Nana would have wanted me to be happy. We were in the second row, and during a scene where the characters went into the audience, one of the actors danced with me. After the show, I got to go up onstage with the cast and I got a T-Shirt. I felt like my Nana was watching over me and smiling.

Aww, that's such a beautiful story BBG.

Aww Billboard I'm sorry about your grandmother but at least you got to have a great time in spite of it.

I loved working on Grease. I did the spotlights and I had so much fun. Our school puts on four shows a year, and only does two performances of each show, which I think kind of seems like a waste for all the hours the cast puts in. Anyway, spotlight operators only went to the last two weeks of rehersal, which is the best part. It always seems that the 2nd to last week of rehersal, nothing fits together, and you think that there is no way that this show could possibly be performed without the cast humilating themselves, and suddenly it all just clicks within the last week. I was sad when it was the last performance and the last time I would get to see it.

I saw a production of Grease in Vancouver. It was called Theatre Under the Stars, so we were sitting outside and it started right before sunset and gradually got darker. It was a great atmosphere.

WE did Grease when I was in junior high. I was in the pit band, but a spat with the director quickly got me out of there. Oops.

Sometimes I feel sad that I only have one living grandparent left (my paternal grandmother), but then I realize that I was lucky enough to get to spend time with all of my grandparents when I was little - so many people never get that chance because their grandparents passed away before they were born.

katt, when I was in my elementary school's annual show, it drove me nuts that we spent months learning the parts and rehearsing but we only got to perform it twice.

I also was in my dancing school's summer performance of Grease highlights when I was 7 or 8.

That's the same with me BBG, except it's my maternal grandmother. I was 3 and 7 when my grandfathers passed so I didn't get to spend much time with them. My paternal grandmother had a brain aneurysm right after christmas and was put on life support but didn't wake up so she was taken off it in January, I was 10. She traveled to Europe with a bus trip, and I often think of all the places I would've traveled with her if she were still alive, I think that's where I get the travel bug from. I phone my maternal grandmother every week, unless I'm going home, then I get to see her, I think I'm her favourite, I'm the grandchild she sees the most of herself in, so she enjoys my company, and I enjoy all her stories. As a history major its nice to hear first hand accounts on some things.

Okay, I think I'm going to bed early [for me anyway]. I may be back tonight. Goodnight for now!

'Night, katt!
I should go to sleep too, but the wedding I went to kinda woke me up.

'Night, Katt. I have to go to bed soon too. I'm going downtown with my roommate tomorrow (really it's just two streets). We're going looking for some cheap CDs at the used stores, here's hoping for some Broadway recordings. Then we're finally going to see BBM.

How was the wedding dancingthrulife?

Night, katt.

Snowbird, I know what you mean. When I was in 8th grade, I had to do a project about my family history, and while we were in Florida over winter break visiting my paternal grandparents, I got them to talk about and write down things they remembered about their parents and grandparents. It was a great experience, and I really learned so much. My paternal grandfather died that July, and I still have the paper he wrote his family history notes on in my desk drawer at home. I take it out and look at it every so often, and it just takes me back to that last time I saw him outside of a hospital.

I love finding things like that. I was setting up photo boards for my dad's 50th and found all these pictures of my grandma, it was so great to see her before I knew her.
Ok, I'm off to bed, goodnight everyone. Updated On: 1/21/06 at 02:00 AM

I sort of dropped out of the conversation, but I'm going to head to sleep, I think. Just watched Adam's Chatterbox. :)

Good night. I'm probably going to go to bed soon - I think that annoying car alarm blasting on my block finally stopped for good.

I'm just dropping in to say gnite - which seems pretty pointless since I havn't been around for a couple of hours and I don't think anyone else is here.

Hello? *poke*
