Day 1

hey

well here i am. i arrived yesterday afternoon. i have my own bedroom in a 2 bedroom apartment. my roommate is named ben. the theatre had opening night last night for "cabaret", their current show. it was very good. rehearsals for "west side story" start today. we open on july 9th. there is actually someone here i know. the music director/pianist is named darren, and he was those things for the production of "forever plaid" that i was part of in florida. the town seems okay. need to get out and look around. i am happy to report they have a pizza hut. nearest wal-mart is 20 miles. the apartment is okay. i can survive it. it does not have a microwave. that doesn't sound like a big deal, but it means everything takes a long time to cook. i will go to the store today and look for things NOT for a microwave (lots of grilled cheese sandwiches). and.....there are railroad tracks next to my apartment (i am on the end, upstairs) and it happens to be a busy train area. including at night. all night. there were at least 4 trains overnight. there must be a crossing near here, because they always blast their horns when they get near the apartment. like something from a sitcom. i don't know what this apartment rents for, but it better not be much. ahhh...life in the theatre. internet access in the apartment is questionable. yesterday there was a wireless connection for a while, but not since then. there is an ethernet hook-up in the living room, but my computer did not work with it...don't know about that. so i am writing this on wordpad and will post it when i am able. if anyone emails me, it could be a while before i get it.
