Apartment Searching

I made the first big step toward moving to Chicago by looking at apartments yesterday.  I ended the day with mixed feelings about what I saw, but still very excited about the move.  I’m realizing more and more how many people I know in the city, and how ready I am for this step.  I’m constantly finding getting more help with finding work, although I havn’t interviewed or applied anywhere but the Goodman Theatre.  I really hope to find a place in the next week, move in Sept 1st and begin working in the Windy City.

Dark Knight

After an exciting opening night and a great cocktail party, I went to see The Dark Knight at midnight.  I think Dark Knight may have passed X-Men 2 as my favorite comic movie.  The action was great and Heath was so incredible.  And if you don’t agree, I know this great magic trick…The Dissapearing Pencil…

Midsummer Classic

I am currently watching the final dress of my 5th show this summer, The Foreigner. The show is one of the easier of the summer, which has given me the opportunity to tie up all the loose ends and design a solid show.  This also marks the second show I’ve had a role in this summer.  I played the Bus Driver in All Shook Up and I play a townsperson/klansmember in this show.  I’ve also been rehearsing for the next kids show and I have very small role in the The Producers later this month.  All this acting has been exciting and a should only make my design work stronger.  Plus its a great way to distract myself from the craziness here.

Monday I will be in Chicago searching for my first post college apartment.  Its a very exciting but very stressful time.

And as for the Midsummer Classic, I watched most of the extra innings of the game.  And even though it was long and boring, it was nice to sit back and enjoy some baseball with a couple of cold beers.
