Seattle Bound!!

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Well, kids, this is it. Tomorrow, we pack up a rental car full of props, scripts, and Canadians, and head south!

Tomorrow and Saturday, we open for the Pork Filled Players (www.porkfilled.com) at 10:30pm, playing at the Theatre Off Jackson. (409 7th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98104) (www.theatreoffjackson.org) Wheee!! We’ve written and rehearsed, rewritten, rerehearsed…and are out of time for more revisions. Haha. But we’re funny! Seriously. And if you’re in Seattle, near Seattle, or want to come to Seattle, you should definitely check us out!

I’ll tell you all about it when I get home. Keep your fingers crossed that we don’t get (too) lost!

Kenny Decorated My Life, & Life After Fringe

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

After months of rehearsal, over a dozen new songs, flyering endless lineups and a hell of a lot of fun, Kenny Rogers at the Fringe has been over for 2 and a half weeks. That long already?! Wow.

We had a fantastic run. Thanks to those of you who managed to come out, and for those who didn’t – fear not, I’ve heard rumours circulating about a Christmas special! You shant be without Kenny for very long.

In the weeks since, I’ve been marvellously relaxed – I get at least 8 hours of sleep a night, my laundry and cleaning are all up to date, I’m eating healthy, exercising regularly, and my To-Do list is all finished!

I’m so telling untruths there. Haha. Time for point form! Hotchacha!

*Disoriental is performing in Seattle at the end of the month, so we’re back to writing, back to rehearsals, back to looking for a Stage Manager. It’ll be funnier than ever! (If, for some reason, you find yourself in Seattle on, say, October 26 & 27, and, perhaps, you have nothing to do at 10:30pm on those nights, and, maybe, you just want to see some sketch comedy, including a group from Canada?! Let me know and I can pass off the address to you :D info@kristalgrace.com)

*My ICBC claim has yet to be settled. I’m still in massage therapy, on pain meds, taking it easy at work (NO bouncy castles for me, thank you), and the proud housing arrangement of many lovely headaches that refuse to move. It’s rare if I go more than a day or so without one. Not so much fun.

*I saw “Company” at the Stanley on Tuesday -SUCH a good show! Go and see it. Seriously.

*I love networking. Last week was Martini Madness, a WIFTV breakfast and the last night of the Cold Reading Series, all within 30 hours. Amazing. That’s key – go out and meet people!  It’s so important.

Things are constantly being done, so…check here every once in a while, and I’ll keep you updated. Be good and keep as dry as you can! Oh, Vancouver rain…

Love, Kristal
