Kiki-riffic day!
Wow! That was a busy day!
I had fittings at 11:00 at Charleston Ballet Theatre. However, I had to first go to Evan's place and pick up the suitcase, bags, and hangers full of costumes and load it all in my already-filled car. When I got to CBT, I discovered I'd forgotten my camera. Blast. So I ran back and got it. Kind of a rocky start, not too bad, but things improved. Not that it was terrible, just a bit exasperating.
Fittings went amazing!! I'm so glad I'm OCD about measuring everything I buy, and that Jessica took perfect measurements for me to work from. The dancers already look hot, and today was just Round One of Fittings. Golly gee, was that fun!
Then I met w/ Claire, who owns the house I'm planning on renting an apartment in. She's awesome. We talked for several hours over coffee and bagels. Good times were had. And, the house is really cute. It's a little blue cottage near the Crosstown, but on a quiet street. So 1950s. I'm excited, I can't wait to finally get settled somewhere! but alas, I've got a few more weeks of couch surfing ahead. Which is okay, b/c my ppl are rockin' totally.
Hung out at "home" for a while, worked on Cum Sum Yun Gai's slipdress, and then went off to find Rebellion Road Studios (I think). Got a little lost (of course!) at Folly, but Molly straightened me out and I made it mine.
I have never sat in during a band rehearsal/readthrough before and damn, is it fun! We had Gus our mentor-esque director (Cap'n Biv is the director for real) help us clarify things and work out a storyline, for what it's worth. The band alternately rocked out and then laid a smooth groove (yes I said "smooth groove" hahahaha). Hot jazz, y'all. HOT. It was an amazing experience. Words are totally escaping me right now, but it was so incredibly cool. Gahhh, that's the best I can do. Just to be around everyone jamming, doing there thing on their respective instruments was almost surreal. And I'm part of it!! Ahhhhhh! How did I get here?!
I am so ridiculously and totally blessed. And so happy. I finally feel like I've found a place where I can fit in -- a place I never found in school-- high school, nor college. Living in Charleston and working w/ other local musicians and artists just feels like home to me. I know that sounds cheesy, but it's completely and honestly true.
And... on a Charlestonian note, I hope my car is in a happily legal spot. Molly said cops don't usually come through this neighborhood and ticket, so God willing I'll be fine until I move my car in the morning. And if they do, it's $15. I'm counting on the fact that M. New York car is similarly parked...
Well, I should be off to bed, b/c I've got to get up for my first day of work tomorrow. Should prolly get up über-early so I can drive down to the battery, park, and walk. I suppose if I have extra time I could drop into G & M and hook up w/ some coffee.
Yeahhhhh. It was a good day. Happiness. :)
