Well Slaughtrhouse-5 is over. OVER. Crazy. This was the most successful thing I have ever been a part of. We SOLD OUT every night for our last weekend and even needed to add a show our last day. Moreover, it wasn’t just about selling out, it was about having a show that meant something to people. I feel like it did. At the very least us.

We have the potential possibility to be invited to the American College Theatre Festival in Humboldt this year (here’s hoping[knock on wood]). I guess I vainly don’t want it to be over yet. I dont know what to do anymore, Words & Voices kept me busy then Slaughterhouse obsessed me for 2 months. I have a month before Blithe Spirit starts, so I have just been staying at home chatting with grandma, reading, and writing.

We will know this weekend if Slaughterhouse has a life beyond this school. But a lot of us are already moving on, Moni is Tracy in Hairspray at runaway, Casey got into Fool for Love at SF State, and me of course. So it wont be all bad if we weren’t to be chosen. We had a great run.

In case you didnt see it, check out some of the images. and also go to TBrindisi.com for the rest of em.

Sorry, if it sounds like I have been braggy or cocky lately. But know that I am just extremely excited to be apart of this show, having it be good, and having it sell out. And I am SO EXCITED to finally have a lead. I have worked hard for a long time. Don’t worry, I am humble, I’m just kinda shocked. But always immensely thankful.

peace

<<<My theme for 09.

Thought I would check in for one last update before 2009 is officially over. I am working on a very large all inclusive year in review post that isn’t quite ready yet, plus I want to include New Years Eve in it. Speaking of which, me and a big group of people Ruthie, Johnny Farns, Terri, etc. are heading to San Francisco for new years drunken shenanagins. Well were meeting at my sisters place in Pleasanton for drinks first then taking BART into the city. I will surely report on what kinda trouble we get into.

After all, No Drink December ends today! woot, it was really good for me. Made me really realize some of my drinking habits and the fact that alcohol really isn’t my problem, my problem is excess. I learned that when I defected to other drugs while I wasn’t drinking. But I have always had a problem with excess even if its just hanging out with people; I drown in a sea of acquaintances, social activities,  and parties. But I digress, I at least know this better about myself now. And will change my habits. I was actually surprised how easy it was to not drink for a month, I feel like I should maybe take a year off. Or ya know, I could just drink responsibly.

Tomorrow (Jan. 1st) is Johnny Farns’ 21st birthday. So we will be also celebrating that at midnight tonight. Tonight will be good.

look for my 2009 year in review post in a couple days.

So long 2009, you were pretty good to me. Way better than fuckin 2008.

peace.

The Ritchie Kids

Yay, my sister finally emailed me the pictures from my 22nd birthday. My family and I went to San Francisco for lovefest. We got a hotel. Partied.  The usual. Sean Kinsey, Max Miller, Paul Telford, Terri Brindisi, and Chris Carlson all partied with us. It was ten shades of amazing. We went to lovefest during the day, got some good seafood in the wharf, partied in our hotel, and then walked around the city being drunken fools and ending up at nok nok in the Haight. Dancing my face off. Then the next day we all went to the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival in Golden Gate park.

Enjoy ^_^

First real photo shoot with short hair! My friend Patti does face painting and wanted some body painting pictures for her portfolio, so me and a few of my friends got painted and Terri Brindisi shot us. Check em out, I got a bunch more coming soon.
