Ooh, Velvet Rut Review. Good old Joe Adcock. (Nice interview, Bucci.)

Last night went pretty well. There were a couple of lighting glitches, one sound cue that I mis-called, but for the most part things went smoothly. The cast didn’t seem especially thrilled with it, from what I could tell, but I thought it was a good preview. Tonight’s opening night, so here we go!

I just about cried when we dropped Sukha at his car last night. It’s always so hard to have a good friend visit after a long time of being apart - especially when you only have a couple of hours together before they disappear. You want so badly for everything to be perfect that you become self-conscious and just fuck it up. After not seeing him for four years, and only very occasionally emailing in the meantime, I was so glad to see him that I almost had a hernia. Despite being a little older, it was so so comforting to see that he really hadn’t changed… at least not in the important ways. You know that feeling of hugging someone, where you’ve done it so many times and you have that sense memory of just exactly what it feels like? I catapulted myself out of our apartment and instantly, it was June of 1996 and he was hugging me goodbye at my graduation. Almost too many memories and emotions to deal with all at once. And of course, the whole time he was here, I wanted so badly for it to feel just like old times that I turned into a self-editing mess… but I think he understood. It’s times like this that I wonder why I decided to move so far away from everyone that I love. It’s hard.
