Okay! Time to start blogging again!
I've been back in Charleston for a week and a half. So far, I've landed a full-time job, couch surfed in two locations, befriended many local musicians, artists, and brilliant people through Cabaret Kiki, -- www.cabaretkiki.com -- and met yet more musicians with the Chas. Symphony Orchestra through simply chillin' w/ members of the former group. (In case you didn't know, I'm costume designer for the Cabaret.)
And -- I've landed a singing gig! Yes, I"m getting paid to sing! supreme sweetness, I think.
Check it, y'all. http://www.piccolospoleto.com/schedule/default.aspx?m=5&d=30&perfid=1082
I'm staying w/ the photographer for Kiki, and it's awesome. I'll be here only a few days before I resume my original location several blocks south, on the CofC campus. Hooray for amazing and wonderful friends! People I hardly know have welcomed me like you wouldn't believe... okay, maybe you would believe it. I mean, Southern Hospitality and all.
I've got fittings tomorrow, followed by a meeting w/ a gal whose house I may be moving into, followed by other stuff, I don't know what, then rehearsal at 8:00. I need to work on some costumes tonight -- prolly a slipdress for one of the dancers, and maybe rig some tearaway pants. Also, I have my own pants that need to be hemmed, but we'll see what I feel like doing later. Working on clothes for 10 other people really doesn't make you eager to work on your own.
I have never been so happy. I love the city, I love the people, I love the fact that I can just wander around town... (and, uh, get caught in the rain on Upper King and buy another umbrella. well, I needed another anyway.) I love the houses, and the small-townness of the city, and how I've made more connections in a week than most people have in two years... It's good to know the Bivins brothers. They know everyone who's anyone here, so I get to meet all those people. Amazing. I love my freedom! I'll love it more when I get my own place next month and can get settled, but for now, life is grand all the same!
It's been storming pretty bad here. Lots of thunder and lightning. The house is rattling. Tornado watch until 9, and it's only 5:30.
Well, Imma go do some shtuff, yo. Call me or IM me or whatever, all y'all who know me. :)
