Ooh Ooh Ooh! How very exciting!

The CAST (Concordia Association of Students of the Theatre) 24-hour Theatre challenge is this weekend! This event, I've been looking forward to since realizing I missed last year's, and it goes a little like this...

We've got playwrights, directors, designers and actors signed up to perform their respective duties.

At 8 pm on Friday night, Playwrights gather and do their thing which, by 8 am Saturday, should result in something resembling a script or three.

At 9am, Directors (that's ME!) & designers get the script and have 'til 10 to read it, and figure out what to do with it.

At 10, Actors show up, get cast, and have the rest of the day to rehearse and fine-tune, with a mandatory break or two thrown in. (It's so cool... since they're training us to be professionals, we follow Equity rules for breaks and things. AND free pizza. Sweeeet)

At 8 pm, we present the day's work to the public, as part of the Fine Arts Student Alliance's (henceforth refered to as FASA) Cabaret. You should come, and bring all your friends, and tell me that I have a real future as a director, or not, depending on what you really think. And please tell me what you really think. There's nothing less useful to an artist than the comment "Great Job!" I'll even be so bold as to post it in "events" and see what happens.

So... do it! Come watch me do my thing! the FASA Cabaret will feature the outcomes of the CAST 24-hour Theatre challenge, as well as works in progress by all sorts of Fine Arts Students... contemporary dancers, (there's usually some pretty awesome breakdancers) singers and musicians of all shapes and sizes, film students screening their things, and there will possibly be some gallery action goin' on too.

The downside to this, of course, is that it means I have to get up on Saturday, and am busy all day. Had to cancel 2 hot dates! Gah! Looks like this social-life building experiment is going well for me.

In other news, I'm tired. You know, for a bonafide coffee connoiseur and certified snob, I really can't handle the stuff. 2 cups of coffee was sufficient for an all-nighter, which led to a day where 2 more cups were consumed in the interest of staying upright for lack of sleep, which led, of course, to another sleepless night. 4 cups, in 2 days, and I don't sleep for 3. What the hell?

My dreadies need help. They went all weird on me. I've decided therefore, that they must be male, as is the tendancy for males to get weird on me. Furthering this notion that my hair can be gendered, are the following: I haven't quite decided if I like them yet; I'm questioning if I'll ever fall in love with them, I'm sincerely doubtful that I'll be able to commit tp them for more than a few months. (I've already been looking elsewhere...) and they make me scratch my head.

That is all.


Oh, wait... no it's not...
The FASA Cabaret will take place at 8 pm at the TJ Building, on the corner of West Broadway and Terrebonne on the Loyola Campus of Concordia (that's the one in NDG. You can take the shuttle from the downtown campus, and it takes you there quicker than transit) on Saturday night at 8.

ok, I'm done.
