Today was a fairly interesting day, beginning around 4am with a tractor trailer being stolen by some drunk 16 year-old about a block from my apartment, driven the wrong way down my one-way street for about three blocks, and taking out some 14 cars along the way. Luckily, I have a parking spot in the alley, so I was not one of those unfortunate owners.
Later today, I joined the surprisingly large crowd that gathered in the rain to hear Hair France speak. Kerry gave a rousing stump speech, which was critical of the President, but focused on what he would do differently, instead of just the negative aspects. I didn’t get to shake his hand, but I got within about eight feet afterwards, before he left the scene in his motorcade.
But the biggest news of the day is that my show, “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change”, is finally closing after more than four years in production, setting the record for the longest-running show in Denver history. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with this show as a sub for the master electrician, and more recently as a sub for the assistant stage manager and the two other stagehands. I’ve seen people come and go, some have stayed through the whole thing, and I myself started at the beginning in 2000 and left and came back again. I don’t have any official announcements to make at the moment regarding my future employment at the Galleria Theatre, but I hope to have some very positive news in the upcoming weeks.
