Crazyyyy

So Crazy, Just Like Me is over. It seems to me like I was just talking about the rehearsal process, and then all of a sudden I was hit with a wave of work - happy work, work that kept me busy and productive and really great artsy stuff, but so much that I took an internet vacation and stuck to zoning out when at a computer, mostly with Half-Life 2.

But. Here's a postmortum on Crazy: it was pretty much better than we could have ever anticipated. Technically speaking, it was a beautiful show, and the actors (including myself, I should toot my own horn sometimes) were fantastic. I was told it was better than the last version, which made me proud, and I genuinely think its true; it was a lot of hard work, but we all pulled our own weight, so I never was really worried it was going to be anything less of a sucess. We never had one of those "I can't believe it all came together somehow" - save the normal "I can't believe it all came together somehow" that all shows have... this one didn't seem as miraculous as some others I've worked on or have seen the processes of.

Good work, everyone. And now, I'm back to being online.. maybe. Who knows? First, I'm back to normal acting.

Love,
Ben

More Craziness

The trouble with the past couple of weeks? I've been way too busy for anything other than sleeping and eating, and the occasional video gaming (but even that's pretty rare, just ask my friends in Lord of the Rings Online). What have I been busy with? Well, that's easy, it's Crazy, Just Like Me, our revival of our production we did last year. It's going incredibly well, and we've had the great opportunity to film some backstage stuff; way more than we did for the last one. Plus, we're much better friends than we were the last time we put this up.

That and I've been lazy. And got a running stop sign ticket. That's fun.

So yes, nap time!
