oh, and now I'm checking out the Royal Shakespeare Company's site - their education dept is FAN FUCKING TASTIC!!!! Why didn't I think of them before? I'm currently drafting an email to them too, to see if I can work them into my grant proposal
So totally off the subject: I had an amazing meeting today with a guy who's doing this Shakespeare project - it's EXACTLY what I want to do - forever - for my life. I wanted to laugh and cry and orgasm all at once! He said he'd try to work me into the project somehow. Then he says "What can I do for you?" I told him what I want to do and he says "It sounds like you should be the Director of Education for a theatre company" which is EXACTLY what I want to do (and ironically, it's his job - LOL). He then agreed to be my mentor basically and help me take some steps to getting said job in the next few years. Kinda peed my pants!

Congrats!! 
I managed to get the broken part out, but obviously this is not going to work. Is such a thing easy to fix? If I took it to a key place, will they be able to salvage it? It's not a huge crisis, as the cat normally spends all day outside, and just the night inside, so it'll be fine for tonight. I think. Fuck. I know I have the phone number for one of their kids around here somewhere, so I can always call them tomorrow at some point. Grrrr.
Hopefully I can get it fixed or get a new one made tomorrow. The cat's gonna have to sleep outside tonight, though. Hopefully it will be okay. Bleargh.
Zooey, sounds like you had an awesome night!
Cori, good luck with the tent!

Well, I'll have IT then!
It is great to find something that would let you follow your passion, and someone who is willing to mentor you!
Oh, and I love my job. Nothing is sweeter when you are having a bad day than having 2 and 3 year olds jump up and down at the sight of you because they missed you! Toddler cuddles ftw!
I hope all the tent stuff works out okay!
My boy is still a cuddler, which is funny, because he is so big! They grow up way too fast!
Thanks for explaining that.... I always wondered what the hell you guys were talking about, but I didn't wanna ask because then you'd all think I'm stupid or something....
Thanks.@Thora. I went back to look at one of the Montreal setlist parties and was kinda skeezed out. And then the only post I saw him make tonight was just vile. So... that was the end of that.
@Tara, a setlist party is a thread that follows the set as it's happening on the night of a show. Someone follows twitter or gets texts from someone at the show and posts the songs as they're played. Sometimes we get a live audio feed of the show, or ppl post video from the show. Lila scours the internet for pics as they're tweeted or posted. It can be kinda fun.

Fuck. The room got a little dusty there at the end. Only one more show. Sadness, I haz it.
You're welcome! And never feel like you're asking a dumb question in here!
OMG, thanks for posting that Lila.
Okay, honest question: do you guys actually cry that often at shows, or watching videos of shows?
I've teared up once or twice (usually during Streets), but I admit I'm more likely to only cry out of sorrow or frustration than out of sheer joy ... which is I guess what you guys are conveying with your tears?
I'll be curious to see what kind of reaction I have to the final show. If I cry, though, it might be from sheer exhaustion by that point.
Nah - obviously everyone reacts differently to various things. I was just curious.
Oh, I cry at movies all the time. I'm a sap when it comes to some things, no matter how cheesy, but even though music is the most amazing thing in the world, it rarely makes me cry.
With the exception of some classical choral pieces - I've been known to be moved to tears by a few pieces. So there's that.
But yeah, even U2, one of my favorite things in the world? Rarely.
