When, while playing pool, an opposing player gave me a good shot and said, "I'm here for you."
And the Romeo/Tybalt fight in Romeo and Juliet started running through my head.

Moving!
Not out of Chicago... only about 4 blocks away. At the beginning of September.
Our landlord told us that he had our apartment promised to someone else at the end of our lease. So we would be moving at the end of October anyway. Our landlord then showed us an apartment that he was renting out. It is twice the size of our apartment now, and not very much more in rent. So.... we're moving! I will post pics as soon as we get in.
Other than that, the show is going well. We start tech on Sept 5, which is a shorter build time than I've ever had to deal with. But then tech and previews are for a couple weeks, and we open September 20. So far, it's not been too busy on my part- that may change soon, when I will have to do a lot of shopping.
That's all for now-Cheers!

Home again!
With only a few complications.... The drive was overall very nice; very comfortable and uneventful for the most part.
I left from Lenox at 9:30 eastern time (8:30 here). The day was nice and sunny and mid-80s. Which would have been great, if my car's air conditioner worked. So I drove home in a sports bra and shorts... and got honked at by many truckers and random cars.
Then, at about Elyria, OH, I heard a bang and a big scraping noise behind me. I pulled off the highway, and the muffler hanger on my car had lost a bolt, so my muffler was dragging on the ground. The amazing guys at the Sears auto center fixed it up for me with a coat hanger and a bungee cord (!!), and it lasted me all the way back. Luckily it was only the bolt, and nothing was wrong with the actual muffler.
I also decided, at about 7pm, that I was indeed awake enough to do the whole trip in a day. With all my stops for lunch/car problems, I got into Chicago at 1am (central time). It was a looooooong drive (16.5 hours), but I only started to get tired as I drove into Chicago.
But now I'm back, and for the next 7 weeks I will be the costume assistant on Caroline, or Change at the Court Theatre in Chicago :) Then, in late September, it's off to MA again to design 2 shows for Fall Festival. So, when I get home for Thanksgiving, I will have been steadily employed in theatre for 7 months straight- a new record for me :) And hopefully more to follow.
That's all for now.
Cheers,
Greta
