The search for the cursed

The search for the cursed pyramid left them dirty and thirsty

Saturday was Salon, Salon … my anniversary! Right at the beginning of our time in Seattle, Gillian invited Bill and me to the Salon, Salon that was happening then. (This was.. September? October?) Bill and Gilly barely knew each other - they had just begun teaching together, and we sort of went on a whim, since we didn’t know a soul. Because of that first Salon, Salon, I met Gillian, Tricia, Steven, Ben, Matt, Sonya, Sibyl, AJ, Chris Dietz, Tim Gouran, and more people I’m sure I’ve forgotten. While at the party, I signed my name in the guestbook, and jotted a note saying I’d love to volunteer for crew. Because of that note, Heather called me when they needed an ASM for The Sizemore Interviews. Because of Sizemore, I found out about auditions for Pearl, and was cast. Because of Pearl, I just continued meeting people, and so by this Salon, Salon, six months later, I knew everyone. What a bizarre, fun-filled six months it’s been.

So, Saturday morning, Jaye calls me, and we head for Pike Place Market. We buy every type of fruit and veggie under the sun, and head back to the maison de Jaye/Steven/Rick to play Martha Stewart all day. We make spreads, fruit boxes, fruit skewers… it was a whole day of kitchen craziness. So, at the end of the day, Heather showed up to help us finish off the skewers, and we headed off to Annex to get stuff pretty. Basically, the whole rest of the evening was just a reminder of why I love working with Annex folk so much. Hours and hours of drunken debauchery, cross-dressing, kissing, singing, and laughing.
