The proud moment

Producer Jonathan Pitts looking on the stage during the show Sat night. I snapped this shot and forgot I had it until today.
It is an amazing picture showing that rush of being there when something is born.

Dim Sun with a friend

Back home

Driving home for two days.

Holy Ginseng

This stuff is more tha gold. We got some herbal teas and such. Who knows maybe it could help me getting more present.

Chinatown

A day spent in Chicago's version.

ComedySportz

Oh the pain...

The Stage is Set

Everything was perfect. Well sort of perfect. We worked all day on fine tuning the set, lights, and talent needs. I begin to appreciate the backside of theatre the more I do techie things like this. I have always had a deep understanding for those people in black who make the magic happen on stage. I really also appreciate the talent who respect the tech aspect. They are real and in the moment.

Full House

Horatio and Defiant Thomas Brothers brought the house in.

SNL Writers

Okay... These guys are funny. Really funny. They were a delight to watch work together. It makes me wonder how they pull of what they do. I was very intrigued by the topics they chose to poke fun at - nevethless it made for laughter.

A tired ole town

It's midnight and the town is finally asleep after its long cold spring day. This have come to a quiet close. Oddly enought the bridge on North street was closed tonight and I had to take plan B route home - bless you Heather for getting me home via phone. You are better than OnStar. You are my STAR.
Pitts is home now... I am home now... Tomorrow is here...
Lot's to do for opening night.
Wow...
Stay cool and it will be fine.

A hard day's night

Okay, it is 10pm and Jonathan and I have been finishing up stuff. The phone does not stop ringing. Its crazy. We have had a tight tech day. Lots of those little things that creep in last minute.
But all is well for now...
Back to the Apple for dinner.

Oh sweet Athenaeum

It's 3:33 pm and i just crossed Southport from my sort of legal parking space. An UPS driver (female too) just gave the best curse out to a driver that ran a red light. There she was half in and half outside her nonexistent door. "it's red! It is RED!" she swears up and done.
Horns sound in every direction.
I escape to the Golden Apple.
I find the idea of a pecan waffle can only bring me closer to the present. I look across the street to see the great Athenaeum. She looks good. Proud and sporting a new sign.
Oh she is a sight for sore eyes... Ooh my pecan waffle is getting cold.

A Stormy City

This is my first impression while driving into Chicago yesterday. Wow it got really dark and cold fast.

Well I am posting this using my new Vagablog software. I think my Treo650 will allow me to post more from the road. Now if I can only get picture with this software.

Chicago behind the Eight Ball

I am here in the windy city! I know why they call it that too.

It never fails when I come to Chicago it is always either cold or hot. If I bring shorts and t-shirts then it is freezing cold. If I bring turtle necks and sweaters then its darn hot. This time I thought I outsmarted the Chicago gods and brough t-shirts and turtlenecks.

Well around 2pm I had to get off the road with near tornado conditions!

It went from 75 degrees to 32 in like 10 minutes. Holy cow it was crazy. I never saw rain hit me from that angle. WOW!

Well, I am here for the Chicago Improv Festival and it has once again grown beyond my wildest dreams. I can remember the first years' festival still fresh in my head! Wow!

Lot's of work ahead of me - so getting a head start to relax some and sleep some will be good. I love the break up into two weekends vs. all one long ass weekend.

See you around the block!
