What's up everybody, Chris here just killing time before I hit the road to go down to St. Louis. I'm going down to see the musical RENT at the Fox Theater. I'm actually pretty stoked because the cast is made up of two of the original members from the Broadway show. What's funny is that anybody who knew me from my Northwest days will see this as pretty out of the ordinary. Mainly due to the fact that I used to just despise musicals and all the "fine arts" performances that I attended. People would say that I'm just not cultured and stuff. In a sense, I don't think it was that I was not cultured, but more of the fact that I had a very naive view of music in general. If it wasn't heavy and rock, I wouldn't bother.
A lot of time has since passed, and my musical tastes are open beyond belief. I'm still leaving room for country, that's the only genre of music I can't really just sit down and listen to except for Garth Brooks. All other genres of music though I can find a liking to. I remember many days going to work and listening to the RENT and WICKED soundtracks on my iPod. I think my ear just matured. I listen to so much music all the time that if you don't cross over to others genres, then you just get bored.
So that's the event I'm really looking forward to tonight. Sadly I could not find many others who were as enthusiastic about going to see it. Kimberlie would have gone for sure but she's working. My sister and mom both offered to go which is always cool of them. I know Casey(my sister) used to enjoy musicals and may still. I believe she had other engagements to attend though, which is all good.
In all honesty, I may have missed going to this one because I'm mostly going to use it as an event for my sophomore portfolio class at SCCC. Don't get me wrong though, I am actually very excited to go do something different, and especially be able to say I saw one of the great musicals. So there are mixed reasons for going tonight, all with good intentions though.
I think you have to kind of dress nice when you go down to the Fox Theater, so I think a button up shirt has my name on it. The only thing that is ruining this experience is the fact that I have to kind of keep track of different things for this paper I have to write. I don't think I'll get to fully enjoy the whole show. I also have to work at 5am Monday morning. That makes the show getting over at like 10:30pm more fun as it slims my amount of sleep, it's cool though.
So that is my gig going on tonight. I'm going to be Tweeting during the whole thing, so keep an eye on that. Actually, I may hold off to do it before the show, intermission and afterwards, I don't want to be disrespectful to the production by having my cell phone out. Not really cool ya know.
So I hope everybody enjoys their Sunday evening, and I'll post again soon.
