(+) Yeah! (+)

Stsrting to rain and the wind's getting stronger. Audience is coughing too.
---

The wind is blowing into our microphones and making it sound like a devil's tornado in our backstage speaker. It's unsettling.
---

Audience members are starting to leave as the rain's getting harder. An actor's complaining about it -- "COME ON, WHAT'S A LITTLE PNEUMONIA?!"

I've had pneumonia three times. They have my blessing.
---

Intermission just ended early to try to beat the weather getting worse.
---

Whispered "2pac lives" to Brian in a moment when we fake a conversation on the side and he has his back to the audience. We're supposed to be talking about a death among ourselves.

He paused for a second and tried to hide a smile...hid it pretty well, but the lips moved and his eyes were like "Are you fucking with me dude?"
---

Tarp is building up water...gotta lift it from below some now to drain it off.
---

Just got a thank you-note the size of a stamp, but it was big enough to say I rock.

Awww. YOU rock, Sim!
---

I died, and then I got a leg cramp in my quad while I was dead. Frowny-face -- I couldn't move man!
---

Ugh cramps are the worst. Especially the ones in the bottom of your foot.
---

Right! Those hurt a ton. I was laying on this quad-one tonight and refused to break the illusion of my death, so I just sucked it up with my dead head in my dead arm and dealt with it.

Show's over. Cast party update later tomorrow.
---

So I forgot to update about the party. It was fun, but not a lot of it fit the narrative this topic's followed so let me skip it a little longer and share these final parting notes the director posted this morning.

Bill, who ghosted me before I could hug him, and who I know worked so hard (Casey told me) and came up with a great, memorable character (actually two) in an extremely challenging role. So many people commented to me how much they liked Bill's Caius. You are one of the most lovable people I know, and you brought that natural vibe to your portrayal. And you brought such perfect gentle plaintiveness to the final tragic scenes.

Harr, did I mention you last night? Regardless, you are another person who worked hard, and it didn't matter what role Liz or I asked you to do, you just said "YES" every single time. Your many appearances in this show were HUGE.

Brian, if I direct another Shakespeare pIay, I would cast you without hesitation. Your Albany was distinct and smooth, and you have a style all your own that makes you attractive for so many parts. You brought some really perceptive understatement to a significant role that demands real talent, and your carriage and manner onstage really captured one of few protagonist roles in a really fucked up family. You plausibly realized functional sanity amid the dysfunction of the flaming Lear zeppelins. Thanks for providing another essential piece to the puzzle. And don't ever forget--I can kick your ass.
---

Brian turns it around at the end, what a redemption arc.
---

Yes, and also it left room for a sequel with that tease at the end.
---

I know I said this before, but this is easily topic of the year.
---

Thank you, and thanks to everyone else following too. There aren't gonna be many updates left -- just the party for sure, plus some of the cast is gomna start coming over to watch South Park with me -- but it's been a lot of fun and I wish I could keep it going.

Ya'll forgot to remind me to pay Tino back though! I paid him, but that's beside the point...!
---

I'm sad this roller coaster has to end

And I hate roller coasters!
---

Brian, please pick up your script. :'(
---

HaRR, please pick up this topic and finish it. =/

(forgive me guys, been a tense weird week and I'm just not motivated to get back to the party -- can tell you the cast who wanted to come over for South Park though no-showed me today).
---

Bump.

Cut all ties with those fiends.
---

Anything to do with not showing up for south park is terrible behaviour. For shame.
---

I bet it was Bills idea.
---

Bill probably scheduled a Rick & Morty party at the same time.
---

Fuckin' Bill.

One of them has been posting vacation pictures and says he wants to try again next week, so that's cool. Other person, come on, get it together girl. She JUST became a South Park fan and has recently caught all the way up to this season, so holler at me already!
---

Up.
---

whoA
---

Bill just asked me to come to a theatre party meant to build ideas about a theatre company he partially runs on the side with another actor I really like around here. I can't attend it anyway, but I said to keep me posted.

What ideas might he need to build up this company?
---

Hire Brian obviously.
---

pick up his script
---

pay Tino
---

Debt is paid, thank you!
---

Not over yet.
---

Different play, but ONLINE FIGHTING has its tenth production this weekend!
---

I've been asked to bring brass knuckles to the show.

The show needs brass knuckles.
---

No Brian though, he's our hero.
