It was Fat Tuesday, which was cool. I always miss it. Going to a Catholic school, I'd find out it was Fat Tuesday on Wednesday, when people were putting ashes on their foreheads and feeling bad about themselves.

However, I had the Fat Tuesday experience, which featured an appearance at the Office. The Office, the restaurant in Montclair. Those in attendance included Dani, Ralph, Liz, Angelo, Rishard, Larry, Chad, Tracy (former castmember), her boyfriend Ian, Carrie, and Matt and myself. It was a good time had by all.

Chad, Liz, Matt, and I trekked to the now desolate Screening Zone. It's but feet away from the Office. It was so weird to see it completely empty. The floor's missing. And not just the floor that I took off with scissors. The carpet in the lobby is gone. All the posters are gone. There's a "For Lease" sign in the window.

I really wish I had a lot of money. Well, normally I wish that, but in this context, I'd lease (or buy) the building. I'm not sure what I'd do with it. But I'm sure I'd do something.

I've always wanted a Rocky Horror museum. But the Screening Zone isn't large enough to do that. Maybe I'd just make it into a theatre again. Playhouse. That'd be nice.

At this juncture, I am not exceedingly tired or overwhelmed by the project that stands before me. I needed to talk to someone not involved to clear away the potential mess that stood before me. Genevieve was this someone, and it was through going over the outline that it really seemed a lot less complicated than I was originally thinking (and at the time, I was being optimistic). Instead, it's still a lot of work - but I know how to approach it!

This is a good thing. I'm going to go back to doing stuff. Then I'm going to sleep and have Matt wake me up when he comes back from his doctor's appointment. And then I'll go back to doing stuff, again.
