I've got that Riff Raff soreness in my lower back and feet. Means it was a good performance.

I had the divine pleasure of playing off of Willow for her last performance of Magenta with the Home of Happiness. Her final show is July 29th, where I will be Frank and she will be Rocky. I haven't let myself really be sad about it, and last night was just like an awesome everyothernight.

Larry complimented me, which I appreciated; things went off pretty well from the start, and I had my usual fabulous time as Riff Raff. I'm missing the show for 2 weeks which I hate so extraordinarily much. I hate missing the show more than most things, and the fact that I'm missing it for a Reno tradeshow is thrilling me like a hangnail. But I never, ever, ever like missing a show--it wouldn't matter why. But work is not one that I'm cool with. The second show that I'm missing is actually not for work--it's actual downtime after the tradeshow, so that evens out. Still, I always feel like I'm missing something.

Whatever... the week in preparation began last week, and officially kicks into high gear tomorrow. Blagh. I will be gaming tomorrow, which will be the last time I get to do anything normal 'til I get back.

The plans for Friday are: limo ride to airport around 4 a.m. and then on a plane. Matt said our layover is in Ohio. And then to Reno. And then... yeah, it's as if it's the first time for me every time.

We set up appointment options for our customers, and I got 2 sheets back from 2 customers saying they want a meeting with me. They are wrong; they want a meeting with Matt, but they've only spoken to me before, so they don't realize it's all on Matt's shoulders at this juncture. So, Matt and I better be doubling on those 'cause I have no answers for them.

It's my last trade show. I haven't written about that whole business yet... Basically, I'm leaving the company sometime in November. And basically, I'll talk about that some other time. Maybe after Reno, when it may seem like the best idea ever.
