Castle Island!!!!

One of my favorite people in the world came to visit this weekend:

(Hank, the dog, came to visit this weekend too. He was also fun...despite being an idiot). Emma lives in New York City and I really can't even begin to tell anyone how much I miss her. She has this way of making everyone around her feel like they are filled with potential and wonder. Whenever she's around I'm so receptive and positive about everything that's going on. She's just a genuinely good person and I'm really lucky to know her.

Sorry, Emma, It's TRUE!!!

We had a great weekend. Friday night we saw Prometheus Bound, I'm too lazy to go into any sort of in depth review at the moment, but it was definitely something! One thing I will say is it really pissed me off that all of the actors were brought in from New York City. It's such a bitch slap to all the professional actors working in Boston who could have EASILY played the roles in that show. Why give the limited amount of paid acting gigs in Boston to people who don't even live there? It's shit. Now that's not to say the actors they cast weren't good, of course they were!! But they weren't so good that it justified going to New York for them. Come on.

Anywho! The next day I had an early Stage Door show.



After the show I came home and I rallied the troops. It was the first beautiful day in AGES and there's one thing you MUST to do on a beautiful day in these parts...and that's go to Castle Island! Castle Island is, well, not REALLY an island because it's now connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land. But it's about 3 miles away from where I live and you can walk all the way along the beach to get there. It really is a beautiful walk.

So we took the dogs (Hank and Maestro) and began our journey. I let Maestro off leash for a little bit on the beach and he ran into the ocean!! Only for about thirty seconds or so, but it was wonderful. I ran down the beach and he chased after me. best.

It was just nice to be outside on a beautiful day with my friends.

I feel like I didn't really appreciate a gorgeous day in California because it's almost ALWAYS nice out there. In Boston? First sunny day above 50 degrees and EVERYBODY is outside. It's like the entire city comes out and shares the simple pleasure of nice weather.

Sunday I worked all day with Andres (it was great), and Emma left (bummer).

Hmm, I already I have to leave soon so some bullet points.

- looked at a space to put Super Land up in, went very well! A definite possibility.
- Sunday night beer + rock band = bliss!!!!
- I need to get With These Hands back on track.
- Saw House of Yes, solid production
- Just need to see My Wonderful Day and Bear Patrol, whew.

There!
