haha, here i am, thinking i'm all into Breaking News and whatnot, thinking of my friends andrea and briana, by posting 'Lost' actor, wife robbed at gunpoint
LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) - A cast member of the Emmy-winning TV series "Lost" and his wife were robbed at gunpoint in their Honolulu home, police and a spokeswoman for the actor said Thursday.

A spokeswoman for actor Josh Holloway confirmed that he and his wife had been robbed.

Honolulu police declined to identify Holloway but said a couple living at his property was awakened at 4:10 a.m. local time Wednesday by a man wearing gray-and-black shirt and baseball cap holding a handgun.

Local KHON-TV reported that the robber took cash and the keys to a Mercedes-Benz car later found in the area.

Holloway, 36, plays Sawyer on ABCs top-rated show "Lost" about survivors of a plane crash trying to survive on a mysterious, uncharted Pacific Island.

"My family and I are fine and appreciate everyone's concerns and good thoughts," the actor said in a statement. "We are very grateful for the help of the Honolulu police department and the support of the local community."

The show is shooting its second season on Hawaii's Oahu. but of course everyone knows about it already and i'm like 9 days too late. lol. oh well, i'm slow.

anyway okay update:

i got a promotion @ work. and a substantial raise thank christ and a fricken half. you are now looking at the assistant manager of the count basie theatre box office. i officially start my new position (which isn't that different from what i've been doing anyway) on the 22nd.

which reminds me: WHO WANTS FREE TICKETS?!?!?!

if you're in the nj/ny/pa/ct area, and you'd like free tix to DiCapo Opera Theatre's production of "La Boheme", or Shapiro & Smith Dance Companys production of "Anytown" (feat. the music of Bruce Springsteen, et al)... please Check out the calendar of events @ my theatre for dates, times, and descriptions of those 2 shows... and then email me at alycia715@comcast.net to let me know what you want comps to, and how many. No limit-- but don't go crazy. :-)!

Anyway yea so that's nice. it's about fricken time i got a m-f'ing raise!!!!

what else....

Karen was nice enough to comp me and Sam into Miracle Brothers and I'm really happy I got to see it.

the show was so cool.

The theatre is so small and the space really intimate and close up. It's kinda stadium style seating where each row is on it's own step. The stage was on the ground level in front of you. The scenery sparse but artistic and creative and gorgeous. The lighting effects made you feel like you really were sitting on the edge of the Amazon river.

Also, before the show starts, the ceiling is made to look like the stars are out, and you hear all these rainforest sounds. The ambiance was very cool.

I LOVE Brazilian dance/music anyway so I was really happy about that. And Capoeira (the uniquely Brazilian fusion of dance and self-defense) is so amazing to watch.

Everyone in this cast can sing like hell, dance like hell, and they're all gorgeous! So many of the castmembers were people I'd loved in other shows so it was great to see them come together for this.

I definitely recommend it. And for student tix for $20 each, you can't beat it. The Vineyard Theatre is so cute too-- a very cool space.

but now it's closed, so nevermind. lol.

what else....

Ah, Joe: Neverending storyyyyyyyyyyyy... ahhh, ahhh, ahhh..... neverending storyyyyyyyyyy... c'mon sing along if you know it!!! :-p

The other night I saw 2 legends perform within 1 day of each other @ my theatre: Saturday was Bill Cosby (haha, lauren) and then Sunday was Olivia Newton John. it was so awesome to see both of them but especially Olivia. hi, idol?! cmon!! sandy!!!!!! she is fifty-fucking-eight years old and doesn't look 30. amazing. and for her Grease medley, she did a karaoke singalong w/ the audience, and wore a leather jacket. lol. she was just adorable. andddddd... my FAVORITE olivia song, she sang!!!! no, not "Xanadu"... although she did sing that too, and that was fun: but "Twist of Fate" from the terribly horrifically awesome movie "Two of a Kind" starring John Travolta. SUCHHHHHH a great song and yay she sang it, and I felt like i was 8 again, in my pink and black spandex pants, w/ my Keds w/ the rainbow neon shoelaces, labeling my Lisa Frank folders with the paint splattered rainbow baby seals, eating Bubble tape and watching MMC.

oy vey.

What else.......

Well something cool happened last week @ work: we had hold dates for Fiona Apple, Dashboard Confessional, Live, Ashlee Simpson, Jewel and RENT nat'l tour.

And this week they're all gone b/c they've all decided to go w/ other venues.

Mother. Fucker.

What else... Maggie sent me a message and signed it Love, Maggs. and i died b/c hi it's me and loves her okay great.

Tricia wants to trade some mix cd's with me, as does Karen and this guy Ben who i met on MySpace.

Speaking of myspace, wow Matt has over 1000 friends now-- i'm so happy! it's been SUCH a great thing for him and i'm super excited about it. and by the way, for those of you who don't know already-- his site's been relaunched FINALLY!!!
