1 Yeesh.
2 I've mentioned on several occasions that I like that word.
3 Yeesh.
4 Update on Drama: I was working on a scheme yesterday to get a teacher from another school to come on over next year and teach drama and take over the Workshop, and it almost worked! Unfortunately, we need sign-ups for drama next year, and then they would have a need that would have to be filled. The teacher we talked to wanted to split schools, which was WAY fine with me, but it would seem that because of the financial straights of the district, it might be difficult to swing something like that right now.
5 If enough kids sign up for Drama next year, it might create some things, so you should try it. You would have to request the class. But you should try. If we don't have a Drama class next year, it will be VERY hard to get it rolling the following year. We REALLY need to have a Drama Workshop next year, but it will be a lot harder if it isn't a class. If we lose the class, we become just another outside group wishing to use the Theatre. When Drama exists as an actual subject, it receives a lot more serious consideration when we go to after-school productions.
6 Bottom line: sign up for Drama class, and tell them you want it. The demand creates the class. THEN we might be able to make something happen.
7 I'm still done. I saw all of this stuff coming a few years ago, and knew to move out. I just hoped someone would come down the pike to take it all over, but they really need to be an English teacher. So that could possibly happen, but only if we get around 30 kids to sign up. I just can't, and won't, continue running Drama classes, or directing after school. My life is moving on, and unfortunately, I want to go out now. I've done my last show, taken my last bow, and I'm ready to do other things. Oh, if a new director needed a technical director, I'll offer the help, but the directing side is done.
8 Yeesh.
9 It's pretty emotional stuff.
10 This Friday and Saturday nights, and next Friday and Saturday nights, Independence High School presents Godspell at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 advance, and $10 at the door. This show will sell out, so if you are interested in going, let me know. I'm looking to go next Friday night. Godspell was my favorite show ever at YB. The show we produced in 1990 is number one in my personal Hall of Fame. So much fun!
11 Anyway, go out there and try to get us a Drama class. As soon as you sign up for classes, just ask for Drama.
12 We'll see what happens...
13 Meanwhile, in other news, I am concerned. A lot of people have this thing that the reason I did 24 years of shows and survived standing up is that I did a lot of roids. And THAT'S the reason I look HALLLLLLA buff these days. Well, I take offense to those such rumors. People need to know that I put all that hard work in because, well, I'm an idiot, and that it had NOTHING to do with roids.
14 Anyone who knows me knows that I'm clean as a hwhistle.
15 Ever meet people who put an "h" before they say a "w"? hwhistle.
16 To me, you should put an "h" before everything, because like most people walking around, I'm all about MEEEEEEE!!! Welcome to YB, 2005. Get it? An "h" before...
17 But nah, no roids for this boy. Don't need 'em. I am roids-free. I am sans-roids. I joined roids-anonymous, if only i could spell anonymous. The governor, who probably DOES roids, gropes about like a huge gorilla, adding a huge dose of stupid to everything he does. See what roids will do? If yo do lots of roids, grope about, and then make idiotic decisions, you too could be a famous buff guy, then a guy who makes idiotic movies, and then you could advance to governor of California, which clearly, a monkey could do. Or even a monkey's friend.
18 But enough about that.
19 I think I'mmina get in my TOONDRA and drive fast around the Theatre about sixty times, 'til I turn to butter.
20 Litmus test. That one goes out to The Scientist. Didja get that one, Scientist?
21 Yeah, just younme. We are five-star generals in the War of Love. Like one of our heroes, a bald guy named Gallagher, we fight ignorance and stupidity everywhere we go. We try to replace it with Love.
22 Love is all you need. Picasso to fingerpainting, I sweh. YOU be the judge. Oh wait...
23 I better go.
24 Peace.
