So from the deck, we could see and were laughing at people dancing in the livingroom. Shout out to the director's door -- we couldn't hear anything from inside, so it was fun to see people breaking it down to the sound of the deck's group chatter.

We go in and it's a GaGathon. Six or so women, Brian, and the costume director Tino are just throwing the eff down. Hopey and I decided to get in the mix, and I'm bringing out all the white boy-classics while mumbling through the choruses with them. The "step to the side and back," the "raise some arms at peak moments," the "I see some friends clapping and that looks fun here let me join in too," the "look around and see who's partnering up with who and get self-conscious about why I haven't already got someone to dance with because this is where a beautiful beginning has been for so many relationships and oh god why am I still living by myself don't I know my parents had two children by now while I'm wondering more about what local apartments would allow me to buy a baby hedgehog I'd name Knuckles because Sonic is just too obvious and we all know who the cooler half of Sonic & Knuckles was geez people seem to really like Sonic Mania so way to go there Sega"...you know, the classic stuff seen at any dance party.

Blood Princess grabs my hand and we dance a few songs. She gives the best hugs -- really makes you feel like she needs you. She also gives lots of cheek-kisses that are really close to lips but not quite on the lips; I saw it happening with her and other people too so I thought it best that I don't take it further, but I kept thinking every peck was about to be THE ONE. We spin, swing, and laugh as Hopey keeps knocking over the director's banjo-case when she dances.

As the dancing started to simmer down and people were breaking away, Tino huddled Hopey and me up to figure out a plan to get people back in there to dance. He recommended either 70s or musicals, so I recommended some Earth, Wind, and Fire to fit that bill. Hopey recommended an electronica band I never heard of and we turned it on while we were still thinking, which somehow turned into "Hey, how do you think fish dance?" and dancing like we're fish in slow motion. I took a bathroom break and returned to Tino proving himself most knowledgable of our crew: suddenly a household is belting 525,600 Minutes.

(Passing Strange >> Spring Awakening > Rent -- watch Passing Strange)

What followed after that was musical audition after musical audition for an hour or two, and man there was some talent I didn't realize our cast had. I hang back on all of Rent's songs that were played and sorta fake my way through some of Wicked. It was mostly women who were crushing with the singing, but you know who else was holding their own? Brian! Men and women's parts alike, he was powering through and I didn't expect that from him.

During this time, Blood Princess was being there for another cast member over a glass of wine. I couldn't hear all the details, but this cast member said "...and then he goes off with some woman who's too..." before DEFYING GRAVITY drowned out the rest. Huh. I bring out my next dance move, the "reach into the air and grab that air right there."

Eventually the musicals change to Hamilton, and man we all went at it like nobody's business. I thought I was doing okay until somebody dropped the mic with their Lafayette speed-raps, wow. Get it girl! The person who was most consistent though? BRIAN!!! He's recovering well from earlier this week. At one point, when the soundtrack got to "My name is Alexander Hamilton," the director brought over a history book about the tomcat himself...pretty good timing. We did so many songs I thought we were gonna do it all (out of order).

At about 3:30 in the morning, I tell the cast I need to be going and I say my goodbyes to these lovely people. As I'm walking out of the livingroom and toward the front door though.....
