Greetings, great City night. Made it in a little over an hour, better than yesterday. I may consider sticking w/ the Lincoln tunnel even after the strike, it's very nice that it gets me right where I need to be in the city.
Waited for my friend in Sweeney to give her a holiday card(made lots of those)...watched ppl passing on bikes and such, one Sweeney person came on bike, one on roller blades it was amusing to watch.
Talked to her for a bit, then headed over to the Odd Couple. Totally (awww I just saw a commercial for Phantom movie on HBO!!!) soldout as expected. Very entertaining of course...I don't think Broderick was nearly as bad as reviewers were saying, but that could be b/c i had low expectations. Twas really great...maybe dragged a little but that could also be b/c I was excited to get over to the DRS door w/ my cards.
OC ended a little earlier so I waited at the stage door and...it was just weird. Brad Garrett came out and I decided I didn't need autographs but wouldn't mind a picture but no one else asked for a picture and I didn't and...I really didn't feel like being there. I think the DRS door has spoiled me or something...well was prob still excited...so headed over. Audience came out a couple minutes later. Kevin saw me and made a face, I said heyy I'm here w/ cards :-P
What I think is hysterical is I tried to order the cards how I think the ppl might come out...maybe it says I've been at the door a bit much when I had the order exactly perfect...Joe, Dennis, Laura, Rachelle, Sara, Greg. For Joe, Laura and Sara I searched earlier today and collected a page worth of nice things said about them here...lots of stuff said about Sara when someone was saying she was mean, found sum ppl saying she should have won the tony, and lotsa ppl raving about Joe and Laura going on...and wow they loved it so much. They seemed really happy and their voices even got a bit higher like mine does when I'm excited. It's like I told them, figure they have more of a life than me and since I'm on the 'net all the time...but you know I know for understudies it would mean a lot for them to see so I'm glad I got to do that. (Jamie, you made it on Joe's card!)
Drew some pictures/references for Rachelle and Dennis...Dennis was supposed to guess the show(West Side Story) but he opened it right away and didn't realize he was supposed to guess, I yelled at him. Oh, and I felt a little bad but I didn't know what else to say. When Joe left he said merry Christmas and a second later happy holidays. Not sure if I made a face...I don't go out of my way to yell at ppl who tell me Merry Christmas...but Rachelle asked me what I was doing for Christmas...so I was just like oh well for Chanukah i'm...didn't know my way outta that one. I told her it's fine though, I love decorating xmas trees lol.
Oh and Kevin and I have some sort of uneasy truce which has resulted in us constantly giving each other a hard time. Later he asked why he didn't get a card from me and I said you're mean to me...he was like what? I've let you in, blah, blah...I was like yeah when my name's on the list! You never let me in when it's freezing, etc...more faces. Then I helped him move the barriers and he went what you're suddenly nice to me now? I was like eh it's the holiday season...he was like oh yeah right. Nice I'm finally past a point where I want to avoid him or him not to see me.
Then talked to Patrick for a bit, Jack waved to me which was weird b/c I talked to him once but I didn't think he knew me...and i was asked by 3 different ppl if I work there.
And Greg was last as usual. Quite a few ppl waited for him, I was happy. But lemme tell you guys...I looked in his dressing room and...it was friggin Christmas in there! You guys are spoiling him...gonna give him a big ego...good thing I'm around to stop that from happening...like w/ my card

All I'm saying about his card, you guys should see it soon enough...but I showed it to quite a few ppl and they loved it and Greg looved it and I think it's one of the best cards I ever made. Very excited for you guys to see it

Enjoy the suspense!
