So here's a story for you:
Yesterday was a snow day, more so there was too much snow and bad driving conditions so I couldn't have a car to leave my house, so I slept until quarter to 2 and then spent 4 hours cleaning the house because my mother offered to pay us. Once all that was done, I naturally got bored and started exploring the Internet (while The Internet is for Porn from Avenue Q played in the background...). In checking the Spring Awakening Facebook group page I noticed that someone had said watch The Battery's Down and thought to myself "what's that?" well whether than doing the smart thing and searching it, I left it for a while leaving myself to ponder what that meant. Upon my next perusal of Facebook I noticed a group on my group homepage title "The Battery's Down" Fans...lightbulb moment!...so I went in and followed the links and found an amazing thing titled The Battery's Down:

Watch it and you'll know what I mean. Anyways, in the cast list a name popped out at me that seemed familiar but I didn't know why, so naturally I goggled it and that brought me to this: http://www.keenanblogger.blogspot.com/Yesterday was a snow day, more so there was too much snow and bad driving conditions so I couldn't have a car to leave my house, so I slept until quarter to 2 and then spent 4 hours cleaning the house because my mother offered to pay us.

One of the most entertaining blogs I've ever seen and it's especially cook because I discovered that Andrew is in Toronto right now doing Spelling Bee.
So that was my story, which is the background for the events of tonight.
Long story short, cuz I'm a little too tired to write full details, which means it will still be kind of long: Shayna and I went down to Yonge and Dundas for dinner and whatever to follow. I made the connection that we were right at the Elgin Theatre, where Spelling Bee is happening, and it's 9:30 = show is almost over. So I convinced Shayna that we should stage door - who knows maybe they'll come do something with us. So reluctantly, while simultaneously reminding me how much pleasure she was going to take from making fun of me for this, we went and fit in with the crowd leaving the theatre and then waited by the stage door. While waiting, my friend Brian (from VCP) and his family walked by (I was mortified - I was now caught doing something I could barely convince my friend of by another person I know.) This turned out to be a positive thing because Brian's sister works for Dancap and informed me of a talk back on Wednesday after the matinée, which I'm now going to try to get into. Anyways, after everyone else came out the stage door and I got used to explaining that I hadn't actually seen the show yet...as well as fussing over the mat that was tripping everyone...like any stage manager would do....Andrew, Dana, and Vanessa came out and to really keep the story short I had a brief conversation with them....well at least brief for me....and don't think I creeped them out.
So after this Shayna and I went to Fran's for dinner at sometime after 10pm - this is now one of my new favourite places to eat in Toronto. We both indulged in a platter of death known as macaroni and cheese - it was soooooooooooo goood.....but I think I could feel my arteries clogging...
Anyways here are the morals of the night:
Don't wait until the last possible day to use your amazing discount at a retail store
Don't be afraid to go to a stage door and be yourself...we'll see if the following is true...you just might make friends
Apparently there's something called Cool Cap and it's going to make me happy
Fran's has ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT breakfast and therefore it's AWESOME!!!
Macaroni and cheese is yummy but deadly
Corey Payette and I are meant to be friends because we obviously share the same tastes in blogs et al.
Plain White T's are going to be the next big thing...
and finally
The Battery's Down IS the greatest thing since sliced bread and if you are a fan of musical theatre/theatre people you NEED to watch it.
