The Heidi Chronz TODAY (TUESDAY)!!! Come see them LIVE!!!!
The Daily News
"Prepare yourself for greatness..."
Cat Deeley, MC of this season's So You Think You Can Dance...
1 Bring it on.
2 Great show.
3 Can't wait, since I'm no longer falling asleep at seven and awakening at one. Last night, I must admit, I conked at eight, but awoke at nine, much better than my insomniacal behaviors in recent years.
4 The nap was organic, just the result of an ordinary day.
5 I awoke and watched a delayed DVR of So You Think You Can Dance. Just awesome.
6 The only thing that worries me is that I also had a cup of coffee, which might possibly keep me up later, although I'm not sure. Sometimes coffee wears off and puts you out even worse.
7 Which is not something you want to do every night eether. eyether. eether. eyether.
8 Either. Long eeez. Otherwise, you sound HELLA stuck up.
9 We've been down that road.
10 Moving on: I'm going to present my one-man show, The Heidi Chronz, with all due respect to playwright Wendy Wasserstein, all day today in the Theatre up at the Chill-on-the Hill. You're all invited if you want to listen to my presentation.
11 The presentations will begin at the following times:
2nd Period: 8:15-9:15
3rd Period: 9:20-10:15
4th Period: 10:35-11:30
Lunch/5th Prep Period: 11:30-1:00
6th Period: 1:05-2:00
7th Period: 2:05-3:00
Evergreen Valley High School. Google the address and get a map. Keeps mashers away. Meet me at the Theatre door and I'll bring you in. Introduce yourself if I haven't seen you in a while; you look different yo! Bring me a Venti Caramel
Frapp from Starbucks if you think of it. Whip it, and whip it good. My diet begins tomorrow, quite naturally.11 I can't wait for this year's stories. I haven't reviewed my script, but will right after I mail out this early edition of the DN.
12 Many of you will be mentioned to my students. It's my own means of binding past with present.
13 I can almost guarantee Heidi will be there.
14 How?
15 Two times in the last two days I've heard the name "Heidi" mentioned. I haven't heard the name mentioned outside of regular discussions about ghosts in the past three weeks.
16 Also, Facebook has gone COMPLETELY wonky for me beginning on Sunday.
17 I can't totally explain it, but Heidi trips are sometimes like computer viruses. Everything goes along like normal, and every time the Heidi things start to happen, they happen in droves. There is usually a reason, and the reason usually is something that keeps me from doing something else stupid, or often, it solves a challenge.
18 Not enough room here to explain this more fully, but people who have followed the stories and coincidences over the years know precisely what I'm talking about.
19 Heidi solves problems. She also has my back. Truly.
20 By the way, I rarely use the word "problem" anymore, ever since '05, who taught me to use the word "challenge" in its place.
21 I thank me old friend and confidante Thuy Ann Le for teaching me that life's lesson.
22 It works. I just chose to use the word here because most people understand the word.
23 In my book, the sentence should have read, "Heidi solves challenges".
24 Much more accurate.
25 Anyway, I've rested the past week for this, tried remaining awake between 7 p.m. and midnight, avoided insomnia for four out of five days, and have been eating good foods. My voice should be strong and my memory stronger today (Tuesday, October 27).
26 It will be a bit different this year as it isn't Halloween, the traditional day for the Chronz, but this year, Halloween is on Saturday, and on Friday we have a shortened schedule due to Homecoming.
27 No matter.
28 The entire Facebook weirdness with meaningful posts disappearing, reappearing and going completely wonky gives me enough already to know something is up! Since I joined Facebook a few months ago, I've never had ANYTHING appear or disappear. Suddenly it starts. Coincidence? Of course, you idjit!
29 But the Heidi stories are all ABOUT coincidences. Each coincidence individually is just that: a coincidence.
30 What makes the Heidi stories rock is that coincidences happen on top of other coincidences to the point of amazement. To an outsider, it's just coincidence. To a person at the receiving end of these, year after year, it begins to speak.
31 The coincidences happen usually at two times: when I'm going through an emotional "crisis" (good or bad!) or at certain times of the year, Halloween traditionally one of the more pronounced.
32 So...Facebook all of a sudden stalling and acting strange when I wanted certain things posted at certain times is just the beginning. I will reiterate that up until this past weekend, I've NEVER had a post by either myself or a friend disappear. It's goes a bit deeper when I try to time my posts so that they are read at certain times. For example, tonight I want the DN to go out early, say before 11. I also wanted yesterday's post to go out before midnight, which it refused to do, which ALSO never happened before.
33 The fun thing is reporting all this and looking like a lunatic, but at this point in life, I'm quite certain that the Heidi stuff is quite real, and quite consistent. I say this with confidence because the stories themselves are factual, not figments of an over-zealous imagination. They are specific occurences that have happened at specific times, many times with lots of witnesses.
34 What I will deliver today will be the basics; the remainder of the story remains unreported simply because I don't wish to report the rest, which probably constitutes over 60 per cent of the real stories.
35 The story is all true, to my best recollection.
36 If you are still interested in the Heidi Chronz but can't make it to the school, you can find it by clicking this link:
http://www.ybdrama.com/The_Heidi_Chronicles.html
36 That should take you to the ybdrama.com website and should be the link that is the only document of the Heidi Chronz. Each year I try to update on Halloween, but each year something has always prevented it. I don't usually have time to pursue it, so it sits in those October leaves, but it still reads like the Dead Sea Scrolls.
37 Looking forward to it.
38 It is today (Tuesday) with five one-hour sessions. Something interesting happens every single year. With the addition of this year's Facebook scramble, it already looks as though it may just be business as usual.
39 So I'm going to send this off to Facebook first, then to the DN subscribers, a reverse of standard operating procedure.
40 Moving on: U2 fans should know that tickets for their Oakland concert later in the year go on sale TODAY!!! Quick announcement, and thank you Yvonne Carrera McGuire for the heads up. Get your VISA out and go to this website immediately if you want tix:
41 I think that's about it for today. I'll re-post this one a few times probably.
42 Come visit.
43 Muhahahahahahaha!
44 Peace.
