The show on Saturday was up and down. I wasn't performing, but instead played Trixie and did "Coin-Operated Boy" as the preshow.

A thing about reprised preshows is that they almost always fall flat. People forget, there's never enough time to go over it, and it's just generally either not received well by the audience (such as the "Mission: Impossible" preshow that we did at the Screening Zone the last time it was done), or the actors fuck it up with unexpected choreography or performer changes (such as the "House of Horrors" one when we moved it to a different theatre location-- but it was awesome when done at RockyCon). "Vagina Monologues" went over well the second time mainly due to Liz and the fact that I was more familiar with the text, I didn't really _get_ the doing "Over the Moon" again less than 2 months after the first, ultra-rushed (but well received) time it was done. The Christmas one didn't do very well the second time, but the first and third times went off pretty hitchless. It's just the nature of the draw.

"Coin-Operated" was done again with no rehearsal, or really even going through. No one knew where anyone was, we didn't have all the props, we let in before anyone cleared it with the preshow people, and no one really seemed in the mood for it. It was just done, I guess. The audience energy was anemic, there were no regulars... yet it went over well enough. It was the worst of the now four performances, but it didn't explode in our faces, although I felt like I was going to fall out of my costume 'cause of the suspenders pulling on the underwear.

Trixie was fine; I somehow managed to pull myself out of my pre-preshow funk and enjoy that. Sure enough I was missing performing, sitting in the audience. Going 14 days apparently is difficult when I'm actually there for it. But I enjoyed the show for the most part; I think we look good. Sean may kill himself in those heels eventually because he has no idea how to walk in them (I saw him actually slip a few times during choreography and narrowly catch himself), but generally speaking, we look good.

I was a fucking idiot and didn't bring my Brad costume for Willow.

I would've liked to have gotten more sleep, but we (Matt, myself, and Maria) took Matt's mom out to the movies. We saw Mission: Impossible III, which I can't really say much bad about. It was ok for what it was. Bourne Identity/Supremacy were more exciting, but this was alright--better than the second one. I never did see the first one. Thank every God that he cut his hair, though. Tom Cruise was Tom Cruise, and Laurence Fishburne was Laurence Fishburne. It was interesting to see JJ Abrahms' favorites in different roles, even if they were just cameo's. It was shot in a very Alias way, which was nice.

Not too much else to say; it was ok.

All I really have to say about the day.
