So we closed up South Pacific this weekend, and I’d like to report that it was FREAKIN’ HOT. I don’t mean hot in the sense that the show itself was spectacular, though this was so, but in the sense that it was something like 85 degrees and 70% humidity every bloody night.
My costume for the first act consisted of blue jeans (hot), a white tshirt, and a blue chambray shirt. Thursday and Friday it was so hot that I ditched the chammy shirt and did my dancin’ in just the white tshirt and jeans (and too-small Sailor hat, which sat on my head like a very comical yarmulke; pictures shall be forthcoming). I still had rivers of sweat running down the crack of my ass into The Sweetness (aka My Taint). Luckily the amount of time I had to spend onstage this year was somewhat limited, so I could sprint for the safety of the air-condition’d dressing rooms.
Despite the heat, the shows went off with nary a hitch, and now we can relax in the evenings and look forward to the after-party on Saturday evening, at which certain folks intend to drink heavily, but not me, of course, as I am a teetotaller. Yeah. That’s the ticket. Right.
Meanwhile, Sarah and I are in the market for a new automobile, as her Protege is starting to make disturbing noises, and it’s almost 8 years old. We figured we’d go out on Sunday afternoon and look at a few automobiles, so we headed over to the Nissan dealer on route 13 and admired the Altimas. Then, to our great consternation, we realized that the dealership was closed. This surprised the hell out of me; I had assumed that the only thing stopping a car dealer from being open 24 hours a day was federal regulations or something.
Still, it was probably for the best. We were able to look at the cars without having some assmaster salesman breathing down our necks, and got a good feel for MSRP and options. I was frustrated to discover that the Toyota dealership nearest us doesn’t seem to carry any V6 Camry models, or at least, we couldn’t find one. There’s always other dealerships.
BTW: Now that the show is done, I’m going to endeavour to return to a more normal schedule. That is because I am rad.
