Hey gang. So rehearsals have been going well for our show over here; the thing is up on its feet and everything is moving along nicely — knock on wood. Everyone is really nice and great and I feel like we’re doing good work together. But now it’s time to move on.

I’m going to miss this rehearsal room. It has some nice large windows to peer out of wistfully. Down below you can see 43rd street and 8th avenue, a big BMW video billboard and lots of weird little people walking way down below. They know what I like to drink at the deli down below. The WiFi is fast and the power sockets are easily accessible. There is nearby Bon Chon.

But now it’s time to go forward and get going. We go into tech tomorrow, so everything got packed into a truck and driven uptown to the theater. My morning commute gets extended up there from now on. Fortunately it’s by one of my favoritest places in New York City. (Speaking of which, DJ sets in the planetarium? I love!)

We got tech all weekend. This is my favorite time to nestle into the darkness and do writing work. For some reason I’m really productive on working on other things while tech is happening on a show. Maybe because I’ve been so focused on one thing that my mind is hungry to work on other things. I don’t know.

But it’s time to take this show to the next level. I’ll see you next week… At previews.
