A New Year, A New Team

Go Swarm! (listening to: "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC)

Saturday saw my favorite professional sports team extend their season to a dominant 2-0. I'm talking, of course, about the Minnesota Swarm, part of the National Lacrosse League. Joined by my fellow Season Ticket holders, we took the Xcel by storm as we finished off the Toronto Rock 11-4. Nick Patterson had an unbelievable 40 saves, fully half of which were what I would humbly denote as "Completely Awesome." If you live anywhere in the Twin Cities Metro Area, you owe it to yourself to catch a Swarm game this season. There's only 7 left, so... do it. Even if you don't like sports, there's not much to not like about this game. That is all.

After Ashley rehearsals are in full swing now, and I'm not far off when I say that this is likely the most talented cast I've worked with in... well, probably ever. Rehearsals go very well, and we're constantly pushing the bounds of the script and finding new things to play with. It's a real joy to share the stage with these folks, and I urge you to come see this show. It promises to be quite the evening. You can find showtimes and dates on my website.

Sabrina Fair rehearsals have not yet begun, but I'm looking forward to that show with nearly as much fervor. 2008 is starting well artistically for me, and I can only hope that continues through the spring and all the way through.

In other news, it's somewhat overwhelming to me how so much and so little can happen all at once. And how draining it can be to wait.

END TRANSMISSION...
