Time for Bed...

My dearest friends, It's just after 2 am and I'm just settling in to bed. We just finished another 17 show run and I finally have a little time off. Tomorrow we leave bright and early for Rochester. Sadly, I haven't been able to write as much as I have in previous weeks. My computer is out of commission. I bought an iPad 2, but it's a tad frustrating to type on. I spent an hour and a half writing an update last week, and before I could hit the post button, everything was lost. Needless to say, I was more than a little upset. So until i can get to an actual computer, the posts will be short. Tour has been quite the eye opening experience for me. It's made me realize a lot of things; how much I love the life I have, even though it's not what anyone would call typical, That most people can't be trusted and everyone talks, that I'm much stronger than I realize, and in the same ways weaker too, and that what I want more than anything is to finally commit to following my dream...which leads me to my next point. I think the time has come for me to leave Chicago and make the move to New York. Scary. I know that I'm going to get some opposition for this decision. People want me to stay where I am, where things are comfortable. But in all honesty, if I really want any chance at a normal life as a performer where I can actually make enough money to live, then it's going to have to be in New York. Next step: get an agent and figure out some way to get on a long-running broadway show. Not an easy task. But one that I know I can achieve. I'm hoping that I'll be able to do another tour - and this time from the beginning. Get the full crazy experience of it all. If I don't, then I'll most likely be packing my bags. If you had asked me two months ago if I would ever leave Chicago, I would have said no. It's funny how things can change so quickly.
