you never say good luck on opening night

WE OPENED THE SHOW YA'LL! and managed to get a pretty big house! (much bigger than the fringe average of 9, so we were very pleased.) Joe said from the minute I walked on stage to open the show he felt that it was there and that the audience was thoroughly engaged the whole time and we did wonderful work. I could not be more proud of my cast and all the hard work we've put into this project, and could not be more blessed to have my international debut in a place so incredible. After the show Joe bought us drinks at The Southern, where we had celebrated Brian's  birthday earlier. At last call a few of us were brave enough to go for the coffee-tequila shot, and with that extra boost we decided to stay out and enjoy the city a while longer. We found some guys on the street and asked for directions, but they instead became our new best friends and took us with them to this super hip cheap bar, where they bought ALL our drinks, and then took us out to The Hive- a very happening Scottish nightclub. We had a BLAST, we were so lucky to meet them and a good time was had by all. (maybe a little TOO much of a good time come this morning, but alas, when in Edinburgh...)

This afternoon (after getting about an hour and a half of sleep) to cure the hangover blues a few of us went to get a nice greasy breakfast at a local tavern, and then hit up the Baxter Theatre Centre's (South Africa) production of Mies Julie, which was some of the most brilliant acting I've seen (and some pretty graphic stagework.)

On to show number 2!

Cheers!
