Hey, All
So, yes, this blog is late. It is. Sorry. Had to get this poster design done and I am in love with it. I lost my adapter for my laptop in the bag that I lost so I have had to borrow juice from other people for the last week or so. Quite frustrating. my new one should come in tomorrow or monday. Poster and postcard designs are going to print tonight. Sweet. kinda drunk right now. A lot has happened in the last week. on Monday I went shopping with shannon. found shirts and some random accoutrements for the show. gonna be super hot. found something potentially awesome for Vivian. So cute. Hope it fits. Later that day I met with Nick and we definitely want to try and get some "scoops" for TPC. It's a lighting thing you wouldn't understand. You will when you see it. if it works properly it will look like a near death experience. there was a specific look for Run the Numbers we are going for. It will be fucking hot. We also finalized the ideas for the bio pics in the brochure. It's gonna be awesome. There is this great Sinatra mugshot poster thatinspired the idea and Nick and I just ran with it.
Starting to brainstorm with marissa about some lobby display ideas. Wanna make everyone a little uncompfortable before they step into the space so they can forget about said comfort when the show starts. Hammered out an idea about opening announcements at the production meeting (yes, we plan those as well) and it should be hilarious. I need to get a phat-ass Adidas track suit for it, ASAP. Also talked with Corrie about some depressing things I will refuse to let get me down.


There is obviously a bunch of stuff to do still. So much choreography, so little time. We are working Get your hand off my Shoulder, Pig and Telemundo. should be tasty as hell.
-HAVE TO REORGANIZE
-Trimming down Telemundo tomorrow morning,
-have to find out who's videoing this
-Rehearsing with Brian and Nebi for Poisenville Kids
-meeting
-catch everybody upon choreogrphinc a whole should. Have fun.

You look nige in a shirt before.

Okay that should be enough. Speparate you absentloutly will.
Enjoy your wleep, passion and virtuility to put upon better. Swee dreams? I have to go before my legs give out.

"Tonight... Is your night, bro!!"
Danny Devito, Twins,

Just wrapped two shows at Cornell. In my absence, jessica Deahr taught No King for me (there are only 6 eights missing!) It's gonna be sick. sending the poster to rissa tonight for suggestions. should be tight. Since last I spoke at you I realize how much work there is to do. I will definitely be crunching numbers once I see where we are on saturday. Our first stumble through of any sort.

Pressures on Shannon to get this adidas thing working. It has to happen. Must have some funky kicks for this show. Gotta Happen. Shell toes would be perfect throwbacks. Finally thinking in a level-headed way about this show. sorry if I don't make sense. Exhausted. Just ordered the preshow, intermission, and post-show music for This beast. had almost forgotten. Two cds down and 1 to go.

Too many irons in the fire right now. How are we going to make these shoes work? gotta start shopping this next week for accessorizing ideas.

Gotta finish this music editing. Much more difficult than I thought.

I really just want to know if there is a way to backlight the raised proscenium at Page's. A couple "scoops" would get me hot. Definietly want a bright near-death experience look in the opening. we'll talk production stuff this weekend.
Also want to know if we can flicker the lights a little bit. (Nick: what say you?) I would really like to have one lighting look that had a flourescent feel to it. It will work with the costumes nicely.

Here We Go...

So.. Had a good rehearsal today working Intrigue... Still need to pace it the way I want to place it. Feeling a little fucking nervous about it to tell you the truth. Feeling nervous about everything. I'm pretty close to on schedule but that means nothing. It doesn't pop yet. Not enough sexy.


Had a Fantastic meeting with our Costume coordinator Shannon after rehearsal, though, we are definitely on the same page. The gear for this show is gonna be so sexy. especially for the ladies. And I don't mean dirty/filthy; I mean sexy.

Gotta mix music this week.

Need to set up a meeting with Nick about his lighting Ideas. I know he's got some stuff cooking so I want to pick his brain like a preschooler's nose.

We gotta figure out this shoe situation soon. If we do it the show will be even sicker. I wanna go straight "Tougher Than Leather" on this one. B-Boy sexy. Now Shannon's just gotta bring it home. (Bring it home, Shannon!!)

That's it for tonight kiddies. It's Poster time now.

The Long Blog home

Alright. Back to work. Touring. Was supposed to perform tonight but the first airline I was booked on cancelled my flight. the second airline that I switched to was delayed by weather FOR 3 HOURS. then the pilots had to be switched so tack on another hour. then the flight computer went all haywire (That's right: add another hour.) follow that up with sitting in line behind 37 other planes and a flight from NYC to Syracuse originally scheduled for 45 minutes lasted from 1220 in the afternoon until 930. DIDN'T GET TO PERFORM AND MISSED WINE COUNTRY.


Nevertheless, rehearsal went on, as scheduled, without my presence. Apparently Chris courtney kicked ass teaching the first half of Truancy. I will work with him again next thursday when I get home and work on the second section. of the song. Just want him to make it super tight with the other ladies while I'm gone.

Jim is coming in saturday to start on TPC. Can't wait for that one. It is gonna be so hot. He's excited as well. Really frantic denergy and giving something to Sarah W. on this one will rock.

Shannon and I discussed costumes Today. So sexy. So sexy. Very Catholic Bronx meets Harazuku (just learning about this place; look it up)

Jessica is going to add on with what she learned on monday at saturdays rehearsal. Second part of Lazerfaces' Warning

Intrigue in the House of India will be sexy once it's finished. Got some crazy partnering ideas for when I come home next thursday.

So tired. Three shows tomorrow and a day at the airport means this Hotel bed is calling me.

Stay up
Kyle

A Blog for the Road...

So. This show is super meaty. Lots of stuff to discover. Finished (save for the ending) Laura's part in Stepfather Factory. (She'll rock!!) Worked with Brian on Poisenville Kids.... Also taught some new stuff to Courtney. He will teach a lot fo Truancy while I am on the road. He probably knows it better than I do. Also cranked out a huge chunk of Intrigue... During the last two rehearsals. Like it but don't love it right now, you know what I'm sayin? Will be on the hunt for some good ole storytellin ideas tomorrow durin "me time". I'm scheduled to finish Run the Numbers on saturday and that will be a huge weight off my shoulders. Another BEAST. Jimmy's been working hard with me on TPC and by all accounts it will be hot. A little down so I don't have much clever stuff for you tonight.

Thing I will do in the next 4 days.
Tomorrow:
Plan for Intrigue... and Run the Numbers

Saturday:
Announce some very bad news
Rehearse til I vomit

Sunday:
Rehearse No Kings with the ladies
Work on TPC with Jim
Condition with SWink

Monday
Meet with Laura

I need to go. Things are bad right now. Sorry
Kyle

A Blog Begins... Sorry. A Blog Contiues

So.
It's August. Only Two Months Until Showtime.

The intense group choreography for Run The Numbers is Finished. Just have to teach it to everyone and finish the spacing of things. Also gotta pick the big finisher for when the beat changes at the end. Choices, Choices. Also got a ton of stuff to get accomplished in the next week in preparation for tour starting on September 21st in New York. Teaching the first verse of Lazerfaces' Warning tonight. If I can get the chorus done as well that would be awesome. Also the first day with everybody in rehearsal. That'll be hot. Courtney has been learning Truancy which is mentally difficult. That one will definitely be a problem.

Things to do is boring me. This is a list of people I need to work with this next week and a half.
Brian
Sarah
Laura
Courtney
Jessica

Got a ton of pieces to hammer out. Also have to:
Re-edit Lazerfaces' Warning
Trim down Delorean
Cut Intrigue in the House of India
Definitely need to set a game plan for Intrigue... for Saturday. It's gonna be a sexy beast
Wanna start Get Your Hand Off My Shoulder, Pig next week as well. Should be fun. Sexier than Intrigue..., that's for sure.

That's all for now. Gotta go rehearse.

One,
Kyle
