1. Spring Awakening cast members smell like Dippity-Do.
2. Professional stage actors spit a lot when they talk and sing.
3. If you’re in “The Bitch of Living,” it takes a few minutes to catch your breath afterward.
4. It’s important to stay hydrated during performances. Little bottles of water hidden under the chairs can help!
5. Actors make silly eyes at each other when they are not the focus of the scene.
6. It’s really hard not to sing along and bop your head to the music when you sit on the stage.
7. Wadded up envelopes dropped from above can easily hit band members in the head.
8. Stage makeup for this show is minimal.
9. There is so much going on during “Totally Fucked” that it’s almost impossible to figure out what to look at.
10. Spring Awakening is, hands down, the best show I have ever seen.

Danielle and Tony:
Happy New Year! I think of you both often. Have made the transition to vegetarianism. Maybe vegan one day. It’s a process. I love the challenge to be creative and the health benefits as well. Come to Austin and visit me sometime.

Okay, so I am coming to this way late, but I just wanted to commiserate on the Money Pit situation. We are considering selling our house next year just to avoid putting in a new roof and furnace. I know I don’t want to stay in this house for another five or so years, so I know we’d never get our money back (we’d have to finance those repairs). Well, there are other reasons why we want to sell but those are big ones. As it stands now we have a huge To Do list just to get the house ready to show. Ugh.
Congrats on the new job too.

Hey, Deebers,
GREAT letter! But I was shocked to see the notebook paper with FIVE HOLES! At a Catholic school? No wonder you Mount Saint Joe’s/Joe Paradox chicks were completely out of control!
I would still love to do a little “wax on wax off” with Ralph Macchio.
