Bits and Pieces

In order to catch up, here are some random other events from the past week:

-I got to have lunch at Katz Deli (of When Harry Met Sally fame) with Megan Chenovick and Natalie Backman. It was great to see them and our waiter was very fun - he loved giving me a hard time about eating a cheeseburger when I should be having the pastrami. We sat at the very table they filmed at - there is a sign above it commemorating the event. It says, "We hope you're having what she's having."

-I had some great auditions for Papermill Theatre and Barter Theatre this past week. Also took a wonderful class with Justin from Telsey. It was really nice because he divided up the time so everyone got 12 minutes so you felt like you really got some good coaching in. I'm really excited about some of the ideas he gave me so I have to work on incorporating them into the songs.

-I got to go to a super swank Christmas party hosted by Mo's boyfriend and randomly ran into Steve Booth from Pippin in Coeur d'Alene! It was awesome to see Mo and catch up and I was thrilled to get the latest Christmas CD installment. =)

-I was able to join VP and some friends at the Jason Robert Brown concert at Birdland - we had amazing seats and it was fun to watch him do a concert that was so stripped down. He did stuff that he doesn't normally do and it was a really great time.

-I got to hang out with Mickey, whom I adore. We had mexican food and then went to 16 Handles, this really fun frozen yogurt place with a bunch of flavors and toppings where they charge by weight.

-Thanksgiving II was had. Betsy and fam had me over for another Thanksgiving meal since Randy was in town and was going to miss both Thanksgiving and Christmas. He wanted to eat that meal! So we did and it was great.

-My friend Corey had me over to his adorable apartment in Queens where he cooked me the tastiest meal. Love him! He also lent me another sweatshirt since it was freezing and I'm kind of in love with it. Now I'm going to have to make him take me where he got it. =)

LESSON OF THE DAY: I am getting to do WAY too much cool stuff in New York. I am a lucky girl. =)
