This post is gonna be like the ones I used to write when I first started this blog. GIANT. HUNDREDS of pictures. (^~^;)ゞ Last summer was the most fun summer I've ever had. (Have I said that before? Maybe. Probably.) Which makes this summer look even worse. I was on a huge high so I had big expectations for what was to come the next summer.... and here we are now.... But let's be real. If it weren't for quarantine, I wouldn't be writing this right now.
April
Thursday the 4th
I saw that Hon Kee moved to an upgraded space and suggested we go. It's weird seeing the family of people you are no longer friends with.
What I remembered to take pictures of.
Jose, Jordan, Preston, and Destini.
Stay late crew since day one! Except for Preston. Preston is early crew.
Y u do dis 2 me Jose (╥ᆺ╥;)
Saturday the 6th
I took a lot of pictures because the chicken costumes are the best and they crack me up in all of them. I have to put all of them up.
*In 2020, Mieka, the costume designer, wins a Jeff for these costumes!*
Sunday the 7th
Last day of tech? dinner at Burkes.
First preview night.
Curtis is the funniest/craziest person I've ever met.
Thursday the 11th
I can't remember who or where the Pokemon card is from but this is how we shared it.
The cubs, Gustina, Thoreau, and Rdeca.
Friday the 12th
After dress rehearsal.
We hung out at the bar after every night. I probably drank more in the month and a half of show than I had in my entire life combined pre First Love. First preview.
Sunday the 21st
We moved to Burkes.
The couple left me some gifts while I went to the bathroom.
Tina was visiting and saw the show! So we met up with Kevin, Juan, and Jelly at Lao Szechuan after.
Thursday the 30th
Aunty Liz is the best! She always gives me money for the jukebox~
Last film/self timer fail hahaha! Unfortunately the only picture I have of Bree, Collin, and Nick. Preston missed it by 10 minutes! >[
It took some finagling but we got our butts to food. The sun had risen (but covered by clouds thank the heavens) by the time we got to Lauren's. Bless her soul for waking up and letting us in. (๑⁍᷄౪⁍᷅๑)
Show photos!
With half of the wonderstudies: Zhanna, Collin, and Bree!
Monday the 15
This was so satisfying to me, I had to take a picture at 6am in the work parking garage.
Tuesday the 16th
Aww Jose so cute. He was deep asleep.
Deep deep asleep aha!
We always fox piled before fight call.
Miss this so much (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ
Wednesday the 17th
Thursday the 18th
Opening night! ₊·*◟(˶╹̆ꇴ╹̆˵)◜‧*・
Off to a wonderful start!
I wish the people working more "bts" were more visible to the public. I'm glad we could get some in a group picture! Sarah, one of our dramaturgs in pink. Devon, our director with the cool hair streak. Lauren, our stage manager in front with the beer. Arnel, our set designer is next to her. And Amber, our assistant director in between Jose and Jordan.
Collaborative art is the greatest gift and I'm so thankful to be a part of it. I miss live theatre so so soooo much.... I'm glad I took as many pictures as I did in this time period. Until we can all be in a room together again~ ༶ඬ༝ඬ༶
The beginning of stay late crew. We were always there till the bar closed...and sometimes past closing... Sorry to all the closers... (*>ω<)ゞ
Friday the 19th
Lucy probably working.
Bailey chicken selfie
Sarah and Cat came to watch this night. I left early to have a ladies night at Sarah's.
Fiiinally met Cal and Monty! Sad I didn't see them as kittens.
Cat and I experienced VR for the first time and were blown away. So cool!
I love this game. I teared up because it was so ridiculously cute.
I thought I remembered Uncle Gordon coming to watch at a later date but according to the video, he was there to give us a ride home? I'm glad he was there or else we wouldn't have had a dance party in the car.
Saturday the 20th
A stupid student.
A crappy cookie consumer.
This cookie was the hardest, driest, most evil tasting cookie ever (it was gluten free of course) and I needed everyone to try it.
I love tiny little 4'11" Isa at the end. (*>∀<人)♥Grabbed lunch at Parson's with Destini before our first matinee.
The sandwich is decent most of the time.
Wednesday the 24th
Blackpink was in my area so of course K and I had to go!!!
I took a long ass time putting on makeup so I took many selfies to document... I'm mad that K and I forgot to get a picture together at the venue. Babo! (;¬д¬)
Wore black for bottoms of course.
They were so good and so beautiful! The water must have changed in the mid 90s because everyone born 95 and after is ridiculously attractive and talented!?! Not fair!! ―(T_T)→
I'm so glad we were as close as we were cause I cracked my phone a month after getting it and can only zoom so far before the camera goes gray and fuzzy. OH! And these seats! Scalpers aka scum of the earth of course bought up all the tickets and were reselling at RIDICULOUS prices. Like $1000 for bad seats! I was super lucky and found someone who sold their tickets to me for less than what they originally paid! It was still very expensive but these girls are so worth it!
The band was amazing too!My shitty collection of clips. They're always so bad cause I'm like "I gotta record! No wait, picture! Ahhh!" I'm really annoyed that they uploaded onto my ig story in jumbled order. Also annoyed that I can't be Jennie Kim.
Thursday the 25th
A cute Jose.
Friday the 26th
It was Emjoy's husband's and one other person's birthday so the Fox Fam scurried over to Hidden Cove for karaoke after the show.
I don't know why the written out instrumental break is so funny to me. Loved getting to see Jon Berry sing in person.
The people who weren't with us enjoyed us as well.
The most terrifying photo of me... I don't know why he's always gotta expose me like this... ╰[ ⁰﹏⁰ ]╯I look like one of those Korean masks:
Monday the 29th
Finally got to visit Elly and her baby with Sarah and Cat!
Then we met Adrienne, Preston, and Uncle Gordon at our favorite best place ever for Cat's going away dinner.
May
Wednesday the 1st
Saw Cambodian Rock Band with Sarah!
Thursday the 2nd
Birthday pie!
Sunday the 5th
Fox Fam potluck at Mama Lucy's!
Isa introduced/made us arepas!
I brought soju and mak gul li. It was not popular. ( ´_ノ` )
Finished the night off with Cards Against Humanity pre cancelation.
Monday the 6th
Helen invited me to see a show at pre canceled iO.
Preston and Cat joined us for food at Pizzeria Bebu before the show.
They only had one cannoli left (supposed to be two) so they gave us a whole ass cookie a la mode for free! So nice!
Thursday the 9th
Angelica and Georgeanne came to see the show!
Had dinner down the street at Fat Cat.
Don't go there to eat.
Saturday the 11th
Shenanigans after show as per usual.
Alcohol turned my cheeks pink for the first time! I thought it was cute so I took a picture.
It actually looks good?
Hahaha
Friday the 17th
Culver's custard after work became a regular thing.
My introduction to twice cooked pork belly. I always order it now.
Saturday the 18th
Chinatown with Tina and Kevin
I wish I was a morning person cause then I'd be able to enjoy more breakfast food more often. (。-人-。)Pool at Konak at night.
This one game took forever cause all of us except Isa sucked. The people waiting for us to finish were salty ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sunday the 19th
Ended up at Parson's again.
Lisa came too!Got the chicken and waffle this time. It was disappointing.
I think Aurora came and took this for us?
Isa invited me to her friend's Game of Thrones Finale Party.
Their place was amazing and so was the spread!
That finale tho....Will HBO ever come up with good endings to their shows? Bless Chrys Reviews for helping me laugh about it.
Tuesday the 21st
Thursday the 23rd
Curtis being Curtis and me being me.
Friday the 24th
First Love did an ig takeover.
Everyone looks better than I do in my glasses.
Movie night!
We saw 'But I'm A Cheerleader' at the Music Box Theatre. I can see why it's a cult classic.
Saturday the 25th
I love this picture a lot.
Curtis' boyfriend, now fiance! was hosting a show that night so those who could, went! I am sad because we got there late (My fault. Why was I talking so much at the Fox Car??) and only got to see three of the drag queens. But it was still awesome for my first time!
Got to meet Darby! Love her youtube channel IMHO.
Aww Curtis carrying Darby's purse. What a good partner.
They left after the show finished, but we stayed to dance!
I love that Destini had a dance battle ahaha
Thank Cthulu for Cheesie's being next to the club cause we were drunk and starving.
I still think about this grilled cheese and the capri sun Jose bought for me. (っ˘ڡ˘ς)
Monday the 27th
Did something happen...? (,,꒪꒫꒪,,)
Hung out with Ed. I just took pictures of his house cause all his spaces are so nice lol.
I wonder...
June
Saturday the 1st
Why I need to just mind my own business when driving:
I noticed the car that had been a couple cars behind me who sped up to cut a couple cars ahead of me in a partially residential area pull off to the side. I turned my head to look out the window and see what their deal was, only to turn back to the front too late and slam into the car in front of me. Which made it hit the car in front of it! Which is crazy because I was only going 30 mph! Thank goodness it wasn't a person and that no one was hurt at all. The car I hit wasn't damaged too bad, just a solid dent to the trunk. The other car had a dime sized dent in the bumper. The cops took over an hour to come, as was the tow that the insurance company sent. In the meantime, a tow company in the area who listens to police radar, drove by and offered their services. I was already super late for fight call so I took it and they dropped me off. On the way there, the tow truck driver was saying how it was weird that the airbags didn't go off, which reminded me of the recall letter I literally opened the night before. For the airbags. I had gotten the letter like...at least four months prior. Sooo good thing I'm a lazy bum or else I wouldn't have been able to do the show that night?
Sunday the 2nd
We loved Rovis' lines and physicality so much, we had to do them with him every time.
Destini's beautiful sis- mom came from Minnesota to see the show!
I wonder when we can get duck like this again...
Monday the 3rd
The first and only rehearsal for Hamlet with Backroom Shakespeare.
The sword fight.
Thursday the 6th
It's so sad and lonely while it waits for Jose to come back and finish it.
Hahaha Lauren's comment. I forget who took Isa's dare of getting on the ledge and shouting "Happy birthday, Lucy!" Seeing where Destini is, I think it might have been her haha.
Konak's for round 2.
Both Isa and Aurora's best friends were visiting.
Call me Cupid I guess.
Friday the 7th
I beat muscles over here in bowling!!
Mama wouldn't bowl, but she would wrestle Isa at the bar after...
Saturday the 8th
Closing night! ಥ_ಥ
Beautifully written. Not surprising, since he's a published author and everything.
Middle part Rovis gone, but not forgotten.
Gifted Rovis' diaper for the next show.
The last tire scrap message at the stage entrance.
The humans finally got to wear the ears.
Zhanna understudied both of us which was perfect cause she'd be Destini and I if we were merged hahaha!
It was awesome reconnecting with Lisa through Steep.
Went to Holiday Club for more closing festivities.
With the photo booth pictures that took half an hour to develop and made the bouncer yell at us.It took some finagling but we got our butts to food. The sun had risen (but covered by clouds thank the heavens) by the time we got to Lauren's. Bless her soul for waking up and letting us in. (๑⁍᷄౪⁍᷅๑)
Taken by Gregg Gilman and Lee Miller.
What a friggin blast his show was!
Random
I can't find the exact date of this picture so I'm throwing it here. Isa's face is the softest so I like to bite her cheeks.
Someone came up with the idea of recording Isa and Jordan running through the dressing room for every performance and put it together. I didn't do that, just closing week.
I forgot to take one of myself lol
