Hey all, made it to O'Hare Airport in Chicago just fine. Never ceases to amaze me how quick air travel is vs. ground. All in all, I believe we were in flight from Grand Rapids to Chicago for a mere 25 minutes. They didn't even serve beverages. Currently sitting in O'Hare, don't have to board the plane to Atlanta until 12:40 CST (1:40 EST). ( Read more... )

Hey all, I've been anxious to get to a Griffins game this year, and it so happens that they're in town tomorrow night and Saturday night, both games are at 7 pm. Anyone interested in maybe going?

Then hoped maybe could take bus from GR to Kalamazoo to take train to Chicago. No bus service. So, am now going to try take the early train tomorrow morning.

Well, ODPD is now officially in the books...we had a really good run. Audiences reacted well and we averaged crowds of at least 120 most of the nights. I think that's pretty good for student shows. It's amazing to think that we started on that back in November. It was funny today though with our closing matinee. I sort of took a moment for ( Read more... )

Well, the winter semester is officially underway. I think I may be okay with it. Scenography doesn't sound like it should be too overly difficult. Stage Combat has been decent thus far. It'll certainly test me physically, but I think I'll be alright. Issues in Comm has been alright, some fairly deep insight. The prof. has a great sense of ( Read more... )

Well, I hath not updated in ages it appears. Decided maybe I would with a bit of time off this afternoon before rehearsal tonight and the start of the winter semester tomorrow. Man, where did Christmas Break go? Seems like just yesterday fall classes were wrapping up. My break went quite well. Nothing major. Despite having had to work 36 ( Read more... )
