Heh. I'm cool with it. I hope he's got something up those sleeves of his but as long as he's not sneaking off to Hollywood or something on us, I think he deserves some time off. Hopefully soon, I really miss seeing him on stage. So I'll take what we can get. The Raul E. Esparza 'Spread The Love' Thread, Part Four (And no, I'm not just being diplomatic. He's spoiled his fans rotten over the past few years, trust me, I know that! We've gotten used to being able to see him so often. But he's not a performing robot, you know? I hope he's relaxing. And preparing his best Vitameatavegamin commercial, because that needs to happen. ) The Raul E. Esparza 'Spread The Love' Thread, Part Four

With the Babalu thing coming up, I was thinking (fearfully) that Luci Arnaz is working on a Mom and Dad movie and wants Raul to play her father. Talk about sneaking away to Hollywood...

Those suspenders are dapper. As well as the shirt buttons.

He's on the schedule at the Joe's Pub website for the ASTEP show, but that's the only place I've seen him listed, I think.

I mean, he COULD do both shows, but....why kill yourself like that?

Doing two benefits in one night, in which you will probably sing one song each and when the venues are pretty close together is hardly "killing yourself." It's not that uncommon during the high-traffic benefit seasons. I know people who have done it; they've survived. It's less work than a two-show day on Broadway. I don't understand the friction between wanting him to work and get back on stage again and feeling the need to baby him. He's a big boy and a professional performer. I'm sorry if that sounds like I'm being a bitch, but I just don't get it. You get concerned if he's not visible "enough," but treat him like he's made of glass if he does anything more than he "has" to.

The Christmas Eve thing is going to be over by 8:30. That's plenty of time, especially considering that the one at the Pub is not terribly likely to begin on time. And The Public's website is not the only place he's listed; Sh-K-Boom put the info out on their Facebook and on Twitter.

Yes, all of that is true, I wouldn't argue with any of it, but.... half (probably more) of the point of these benefit things is what happens offstage - the meet and greet. The socializing and schmoozing and glad-handing, all in an effort to raise money for the cause. So while the performance aspect of doing two shows in one night is ridiculously easy, the social part is less so. Depending on the individual person, it can be exhausting, and having to do TWO in one night could be terrifying.

Now, I highly doubt Raul is in that category, he seems to love the socializing, but he's still in for a loooong night.

One long night in months of not working, in support of two causes he's made clear are very, very close to his heart. I'm not about to get worried about his well-being for it. Besides, while I don't know what to expect of Ann Harada's show other than absolute hilarity, events at Joe's Pub, yes, even benefits, tend to be extremely chill and laid-back. Sure, as a board member some schmoozing is part of the deal, but this isn't some kind of high-pressure black-tie gala. Hardly comparable, particularly in levels of schmoozing required. So he's in for a long night doing what he loves to help raise money for things he cares about. Poor baby. I don't doubt he can handle it.

Nice interview about the process of recording audio books:

In the studio, I like the lights as low as a bedtime story, I need lots of water and I try to have eaten enough so that I have energy (plus the mic in the studio is so sensitive it can pick up your breathing, your weight shifting, not to mention a rumbling stomach).

What an interesting interview! I got through 2 discs of the DOME and then had to stop. Maybe after the holidays I will have more time to listen for 35 hours! He is doing his usual excellent job with the voices.
