Your Love is a Heartbreaker
November 10th, 2007 . by mattI’m in my bedroom, painfully learning lines for the upcoming “anti-Christmas” tale, the SantaLand Diaries, written by David Sedaris, that I’m doing with Charleston Stage in December. I’ve never had to memorize this many words, so I’m constantly in a state of low-grade panic, seeing that the show opens in exactly a month. Luckily, I have flash cards and have recorded the entire play as robotically as I could into a series of mp3s so I can listen in the car. And lots of positive reinforcement for myself. I can and will do it.
Distracting me in the next room, but happily so, is my brother’s Weezer tribute band, working towards a show in January ‘08. This yet-unnamed project includes members of Slowrunner and the Young Republicans, and they sound incredible. Today is their first rehearsal, and they’ve definitely done their homework on the Blue Album. Pinkerton is next, I hear. And they’re letting me play harmonica on a couple of songs. Something to look forward to after the new year blahs.
I’m also cooking up sort of a side-project for Kiki, maybe something more based in improv, and involving Kiki’s secret weapon, code-named “Bambi Bourdain”. At the very least we’re going to come out of hiding to do a couple of impromptu shows (Christmas Caroling with Kiki, anyone?), which should be a blast.
Yes, Amanda Mae, I am a walking talking advertisement. But hey, if you got it, flaunt it.
Hey! So excited about the play. Just bought (front-row!) tickets for the 14th. Can’t wait
Good luck with learning the lines!
psst.
don’t forget. jingle jingle.
i’m glad you embrace your billboard-ness. and i’m very pleased that this whole weezer thing is finally coming to fruition!
i think the number ONE reason i never signed up for drama class in middle/high school was beacause i cant memorize. at all. not one bit. so… go you! put that nose to the grindstone. (horrible expression if you ask me)
Can I go caroling with the troupe? Pretty please? Oh and break a leg.
Hey. I’m taking my kid sister to Charleston in March. It’ll be her first time in that splendiferous city I love so much. Any chance we’ll be able to catch some Bivins-action (in any form) then? I’m bummed that I’ve never been able to make it down for a Kiki show. I moved to MD last April though, so I’m getting closer to the southern goodness at least (compared to NH and MI anyway!)
Using Alcoa Siding to Provide the Entire Home With a Solid Insulation…
We take pride in how our homes look when they are new and after some time has passed. To help protect our homes from the elements there are different types of siding that can be used. These sidings can include wood, fiber cement, steel, masonite, alumi…
