Musical? Shakespeare? Gay boys in love? I'm sooo there!
The story is about a boy, after being cast as Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream, who stumbles upon a hidden recipe within the script to make the play's love pansy, causing anyone to fall in love with the first person they lay eyes on. He proceeds to turn most of his small-town gay to varying results and consequences.
The music sounds great, and the voices on the two leads are just incredible. I plan to see it when it opens, anyone with me?

The Election
McCain has voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment in the past, saying its a state's issue, but then has supported Arizona's state amendment to ban it and currently has supported the California ban against gay marriage that will be up for a vote in November. Palin has also stated that Gays can expect an administration where there will be tolerance, but count me out of feeling warm and fuzzy about people who merely tolerate my existance. She's also made clear that she wants to stir things up and bring back the push for the Federal Marriage Amendment. Here's the full quote:
Is it wrong that I just want this whole election mess to be over?"I am, in my own, state, I have voted along with the vast majority of Alaskans who had the opportunity to vote to amend our Constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman. I wish on a federal level that that's where we would go because I don't support gay marriage. I'm not going to be out there judging individuals, sitting in a seat of judgment telling what they can and can't do, should and should not do, but I certainly can express my own opinion here and take actions that I believe would be best for traditional marriage and that's casting my votes and speaking up for traditional marriage that, that instrument that it's the foundation of our society is that strong family and that's based on that traditional definition of marriage, so I do support that."

Eye of the storm
Just a few more hours and what has taken over my life for the last 4 weeks (as it does every year) will be over. I always seem to reach a point in the process where I am looking forward to it being over just because its such a lot of work, but without fail, as it near the final performance it just feels such a shame to have it all end.
Just one more curtain and then off to the rest of my life.

Leaving Worcester
Cate and her mom Betty came last night to the performance. While the performances weren't the most well attended the audience both nights had good praise for the show. Overall I think it came off well.
I may have yet another crack at it as well, as John is planning a commercial recording next summer so I may just have to make another trip to London. Darn. :)
So I leave on at an 11:23 train back to Paddington Station and stay in London tonight. Cate and I are going to hop around the city and do some touristy things so maybe I'll even be inclined to take more pictures. Tomorrow we head to the airport and back home; so really I'll only be out of Worcester for about a day. To think, a trans-Atlantic flight, two 2-hour train trips only to spend all of my vacation in Worcester. I think that's amusing.
Anyways, I don't know what my internet situation is so this may be my last England post. See everyone soon. I so am not ready to go home though. If it were possible I'd vacation another full week. TTFN!
