We're nearly finished with our run of shows in Ottawa, and I have to say, I'm feeling a little wistful about it. I really like this city, and I'm kind of digging the life we've set up for ourselves here. I know the other runs will be just as awesome and inviting, but this one will have a special place in my heart as our first official Fringe stop.
On to the recap!
Yesterday was alarmingly hot, as well as thunder-y and lightning-filled. Fortunately, I didn't have to deal with any of it, and spent the majority of the day inside watching "Arrested Development" and trying to make my hair behave in the humidity. It politely declined. Our company spent the afternoon playing (or attempting to play) "Mall Madness," a truly magnificent example of consumerism being bottle-fed to our youth. I'm just bitter because Forrest totally beat all of us. It's not my fault the game's ATM wouldn't give Beth and I sweet, sweet cash.
We performed last night at 11 p.m., to a surprisingly large house of sixteen people. They all did an excellent job of laughing, which kept me going through the faintness brought on by the gigantic Baptista costume. By the end of the performance, we were all drenched in our own sweat. Or maybe that was just due to the Girl Talk dance party we had right before going on stage.
Today's our last full day off in Ottawa, which is a strange thought. We're going to cook dinner for Brenda, our hostess tonight, and a good time is expected all around. This has been a fantastic week, that's for sure.
Before I leave, a note: this is the first day I haven't had to swim through a sea of graduating seniors to get to the library. Ten points to Ottawa. And yes, I almost typed Gryffindor.
Evan, if you're reading this, read "Harry Potter."
