Ooohhh I am trying not to think about the summer drawing to a close! I am having way too much fun. Saw 311 with Matisyahu this past weekend in Philly. It was a great show. Matisyahu impressed me and I managed to record some video when he came out with 311 to rap during Lovesong. I have to clean up the audio though, it's terrible..

Speaking of which I think I will see if I can tweak the audio on the Come Down Spinkle vid before I post it.

I've been playing and planning for Joseph- the music is really good. Quite a variety of styles in one show. There are some things I want to do with it and I feel like I need to break down and buy a sampler workstation.. they are sooo expensive..

The best news of the past week or so is that I got Nicole and I Platinum VIP tickets to see Tori Amos in D.C. We will get to sit in on her soundcheck, meet her, get a gift bag, and be seated in the first several rows. I am EXCITED!! It's not til October..

Oh Tori fans on my list, I made my profile at http://www.toriamos.com/user/pianoscry so add me as a friend on there!

Well I got the rights to do How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Is that the musical I should direct this year? I think I have the right group for it, but it's a comedy and the version of Robin Hood I am directing is also a comedy.. kinda want to do something more serious.

I finished Deathly Hallows in less than two days last week. it was like crack.

I really want my schedule for my classes I'm teaching!! I'm anxious so I'm going in tomorrow. I have a ton of art supplies and books to drop off anyway.

Got almost 4/5 goal songs at least started.. want to do 5 song ep (at the very least) in the next few months. Depends if I get any new equipment.

First of all, ZOMGuserpics!!!42!! Yay for loyalty rewards. I'm going to have an icon making party.

Well the show the other night did go well! We had a lot of nice feedback. We're going to try to do the radio plays every other month (at the Waterfront in Fells).

The faculty retreat was nice. JC (no, not Jesus Christ, although he was there too, but someone else) and I bipped off to the music store to look at pianos for the auditorium. *grin* We picked out a Yamaha Clavinova 230. I was like a kid in a candy store there and bought a few things- a game for the classroom, a decent piano primer for my 6th graders, and the Into the Woods songbook for me. I wish I'd had more time there to look over the songbook though.. I'm VERY disappointed in the selection and arrangements. I wouldn't have bought it if I'd had the chance to play a bit in the store. There's gotta be a better ItW folio than this one. I mean, if you know ItW, you would agree with me that no collection is complete without "I Know Things Now", "Giants in the Sky", and "On the Steps of the Palace". Anyway.

Today is Fiddler rehearsal.. :) I'm choreographing "Tevye's Dream" today. I have it all worked out and it will be SO fun! For those that don't know, the "Dream" sequence takes place in a cemetary.. so all the dead villagers will be doing the "Thriller" dance at one point. Hahaha! It's gonna be awesome. Fruma-Sarah will be flying and Tevye will also be flying at the end of the scene! :D

Tonight/Tomorrow: Lesseee. Icon making party? Test grading party. Call my family that I have sorely neglected for the past three months. I'm sorry, family. :/

Gotta make sfx for Little Women (the play, not the musical). And they want me to do something with "Ashokan Farewell" but I'm not sure what.

Yep, this entry was mostly about music and musicals. But then again, aren't all my entries about that?
