Holy Guacamole!!! We have got some great support coming from you guys and I don’t think there’s any tangible way to express our deep appreciation and thanks for all of your support. The only thing I can do is guarantee you that we’re gonna do our best to make sure this show rocks the boundaries of the Fringe festival at the core. We’re up against some pretty heavy competition, but we’ve got what it takes and you, my dear friends, have helped to give us the drive and the courage to take this shit to the house. We will not disappoint. Fringe won’t know what hit them.

Well, tonight’s full dress rehearsal ended at about 10:30pm and we’ve all gotta get from Brunswick to Lower-Manhattan for our Tech rehearsal in the theater which starts at 8:00am. John, Wisedog, and I are now on the train to Penn Station and then straight to Brooklyn to get what rest we can.(Read:Party till we pass out) I’ve already informed them that one of them may have to use some sort of wrestling top rope maneuver to wake me in the morning. Personally I’m hoping they go for a moonsault or the classic big elbow. Keep on Zippin’ baby *wink*

I don’t know if y’all folks out there in interwebland can tell but we’re all busting at the zipper-seams with excitement to be able to present our finished products to you, our muses, supporters, and fans. We’re working with a great product, with great people, and I know I’m looking forward to having a great audience to be able to perform in front of.

(bite me preposition police)

Speaking of the audience,  two of my most loyal fans are coming to see the show.  My Granny and Pop-pop!!! I always feel bad when they know I’m working on a show and I tell them they shouldn’t come see it because of the content. *cough*HAIR*cough*Hijinks*cough* and then I had to fight with my Mom (who saw both Hair and Hijinks) to convince her that this one is going to be O.K.

Me: You guys should buy tickets online soon, we’re getting some pretty big press and it’s not a huge theater, you should call Granny and Pop-pop cause I assume you’ll all be coming together.

Momma: Oh Rick,  are you sure they should come? Is it going to be anything like that LAST show?

Me:  C’mon Mom, Granny’s already got the show dates so she’s gonna come anyway. Plus we only drop the F-bomb like twice, maybe three times during this one.

Momma:  Richard! You’re going to get me in trouble with my mother. You say foul things and the I have to hear about it later, you just don’t…

Me: C’mon Ma! I’m not even the one who drops it. It’ll be fine , there’s even a nice little ballet and a love story, do you think I’d have them come if it was completely inappropriate???

Momma: Oh, I suppose not.  I love you Richard, I don’t want to have to kill you.

Me: Love you too Mom, I don’t wanna die. .. at least not till this show is over.

PEACE TO MY ZIPPERHEADS!!!!
