The play tells this guy’s story about his addiction to drugs and alcohol.  Sounds depressing right?  Totally wasn’t.  There was even some scenes that had some comedy, and even a love scene that made you cry.   I kept thinking throughout the play, amazed at the talent of all the cast.  They all could be huge movie stars or tv stars based on their amazing character portrayals.  Rob played 3 different characters who were all alcoholics.  He played a redneck father, introverted carpet cleaner guy at his first AA meeting, and the main character’s best friend/enabler “Roman.”   He rocked each one of them and totally had me convinced.  I saw him after the show and to my surprise he was sober lol.  He’s just that good of an actor.  The main character played by Clif Morts was amazing too. During his monologue a cell phone was going off for a straight minute and he didn’t flinch one bit.  He was so focused and in to his part.  It was a truly amazing cast and if you’re looking for something different to do, check out the play!

Its only the third week in running and they already have a review in the LA Times. Here is another review as well.

Gal Drifting
You wanted it and you got it. More girl drifting in Japan from NoriYaro.

Here is a pic of Sachiko’s car in Japan.  I feel some connection with her because my Japanese name is Sachiko and my car is pink too lol.  She wins though on interior…how does she pass tech inspection!?   My pink dildo shifter and 3 beanie babies is nothing compared to this insane drift car interior.  I’m inspired.  Go Team Sachiko!!!!

SATC2
I was one of the many hundreds of thousands of women who saw Sex & the City 2 last night (Thursday).  Perez is posting that it brought in $14.2mil Thursday alone!   It was great for a sequel.  The drama wasn’t as insane like the first one, but it was funnier and its awesome that the characters are evolving.  They’re like pokemon!

Enjoy your long BBQ weekend!
