So, tomorrow is the big concert. But first, I went to "The Magic Castle" with my Dad on Thursday. I had a fantastic time! The highlight of the evening for me would have to the Irma, the resident ghost. She played the piano and even took requests. Dad apparently stumped her, so he rocked her face off. In order to enter The Magic Castle you have to wear a coat and tie, or a cocktail dress for the ladies. In addition, you must also be 21 years or older to enter. Ever since I had heard about the Magic Castle when I was around 16 I've been waiting until I was old enough to get in, so going on Thursday was a treat. The shows were outstanding. We went to a pre-show in a smaller room. The magician who performed had been on "The Jerry Lewis Telethon", but despite that he was awesome. After that we headed to dinner then the main performance. There were two acts in the main performance. The first was a comedic routine, the other was just pure magic. After that I went to the close up show, which was my favorite of all the shows. The magician who performed was from England and has performed for the queen. He did some of the most amazing slight of hand with cards I have ever seen. I practiced the bass yesterday night. I plugged in, turned on Steve's CD practiced my little heart out. I was pretty happy to find that I could do almost every song of the top of my head. I'll be rehearsing this afternoon into the evening with Steve and the band. I'm really excited about the concert. I have a few friends coming, so that'll be encouraging. We may even have a special guest musician come. The past week only Anna and I have been the resident Staff at Action House. Well, Cliff and Craig have been here, but we work down on the 2nd floor with the interns. It's been a tough week for Anna, and I can understand why. I've been burning the candle at both ends but as this week winds down I look forward to next week. I'll be meeting with Clay on Monday so we can start hashing out the next script. As I've said, we start shooting our next film in June. In the mean time, I'm working on about four different websites at the moment. Fun times.
