at 11:15pm in nyc, it's only 8:15pm in california. unless they had an early curtain, mike will just be about to start 'i can do that'.

i'm personally sending my best wishes to everyone involved with this show! break legs gypsies!!!!!

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says, "I will try again tomorrow."

Well, we had an earthquake at about 8:09. Don't know if they felt it at the theatre but it was felt in my apartment in SF.

I felt it too, I'm not too far from the Curran.

Some people come into our lives and quietly go, others stay a while, and leave footprints on our heart, and we are never the same.

Yes, it was felt backstage.

You know in a way I owe it all to you. I thought losing you was a blow I could never withstand. Look how far I have come without anyone holding my hand. The day you broke my heart you handed me the chance to make a brand new start. You helped me find my way. There's still so much to learn. So many dreams to earn. But, even if I crash and burn ten times a day. I think I'm here to stay. I'm gonna find my way.

Ugh, I really wanted to go tonight but couldn't. I'm going tomorrow night though, so if no one's reviewed it by then, I'll write something up. I went the first night of previews and LOVED it... I can't wait to see it again!

I was at the American Natural History Museum today in NYC and meandering through the Earth Science/Rocks exhibit... there was a seismograph and a plasma screen displaying the recent earthquakes in the US. As usual there were tons of little 1.0 and 2.0 yellow circles all up and down California (we have dozens a day without feeling them).

But then there was this flashing orange circle, bigger than the rest and I thought: "Well look at that! SF's shakin'!" Then again, it was probably caused by the cast doing their last warm-up pre-show with those countless kicks!

Can't wait to hear how Opening went. Just a little peeved I'm not there... Missed LITP first preview and now I'm missing ACL opening... grumble.

LOL! He always takes his shirt off. He's on "Passions" and all the men seem to be shirtless.

This is from the "Passions" website:

Question: Why do all the hunks go shirtless in Harmony? Is there a T-shirt shortage? -- Phyllis

Tabitha: Are you complaining? Just enjoy the view! Although I must admit it’s certainly amusing how the men have to take their shirts off before doing anything remotely physical. “I’ll open the car door for you, sweetheart – just let me take my shirt off, first.”

"So reviews will be out tommorow?"

I would look for the newspaper reviews on Friday. They are usually not as fast here as in NY. Perhaps Variety will have a review tomorrow but I think the SF Chronicle's will be on Friday. If I see any, I'll share them.
