How I Spent My Summer NOT Sleeping

CHICAGO starring John Davidson as Billy Flynn

DAY 4:  Two show day #1
   
Matinee and Evening show both went well.  �Gregory� invited me over to �Non-Eq� house again tonight.  Of course, I imbibed in an Irish Car Bomb and then watched as he )very beautifully) mooned both Paul and myself.  Ah! Actors!  Gotta love �em! �Gregory� was very huggy tonight.  Every time I walked by, he pulled me into a humongous bear hug.  He smells so good!  There are days I definitely wish I wasn�t married�and tonight was definitely one of them.
    We watched Pam get extremely plastered by doing a keg stand.  She didn�t even come close to Lina�s record of 34 seconds, but considering the woman had already gone past her limit before she�d gotten to the house, it was no surprise.  We ended up pouring her into the double bed in the other non-eq house, where she subsequently passed out.
    After an Irish Car Bomb and three Caecilian kisses, �Gregory�, Adam and Adam�s best friend, Marina weren�t going to let me go home.  I knew staying was a very bad idea.  Luckily, I had brought chips and a couple of Mountain Dews with me.  I sat and ate chips and drank the Dew until well after 4 am before Adam and Marina would let me leave.  Even Paul was a bit concerned and asked that I call him when I got home.  I got home safely and did call.  It was a good thing I didn�t have to be to the theater until after 6pm!


DAY 5: 
I guess if there�s anything to be said about drinking too much, I now know why it�s called a hangover!
    The show went well.  There was yet another party after the show.  This time, it was at Bobby�s.  We basically hung out and played a silly game called Fact or Crap until about 2 am.  It was a very relaxed night.  It was also very fun to sit a get to know a few of the people who were not on crew this season.  It made me rather sad that I didn�t take the time to get to know them earlier.


DAY 6:  Two show day #2
   
Our last shows.  Both went extremely well.  As has become my habit, I ran around between shows getting autographs.  This time, I also got email addresses of those I hung out with over the past week.  I stepped into the guys� dressing room to get autographs from the �boys�.  As I was walking out, I mentioned that I was really going to miss them all. 
    �Gregory�s� response was, �Thanks Stacie!�
    I stopped and asked, �Who the hell is Stacie!�
    You should have seen his face!  He was totally embarrassed that he had called me the wrong name!
    I said, �Fine, from now on, your name is going to be �Igor!�
    He laughed and said that would be fine, he deserved that.  He even said that if I wanted to get back at him during the show, I could.  But, being the �professional� that I am, I didn�t�at least, not too badly.  Instead of not having his spot come on at the end of the show, I just made sure that the spot flashed him in the eyes during the curtain speech�He understood.
    Once the show was over, there was an �Afterglow� party down at the City Caf� again.  I went and got the email addresses of those I�d missed earlier.  I talked with those I hadn�t had much time to hang out with�and I cried.  Almost everybody, including �Gregory� (a.k.a. Igor), Paul and Lina were all leaving in the next 24 hours.  I left before I got too depressed.
