I'm Back!!
Well, in the country. not back in Chicago.
Very jet lagged. but home to good and interesting news!
1) The Red Sox have rocked in my absence
2) My budget for the FY that started June 1 has (at last) been approved in full, including making a staff member full time and supporting materials for the outreach program.
3) The Jeff nominations were announced and my former mentor is in direct competition with David Schwimmer.
4) New City's annual 50 most important people in Chicago Theater> came out. some interesting points:
-last year's #1 is this year's #4
-#29 is listed alone, without his theater company...
-last year's duo at #42 are now at #35 (yay!)
-#37 lists Cassie as one of "an unofficial group of highly versatile actors regularly cast in Shakespeare productions".
-My former mentor (same one as above) is at 45 whereas my boyfriend's is at #40.
-And, in my favorite change, #50 is now one person. Someone my age (which makes me feel old!) who is really talented has displaced last year's "the rest of the steppenwolf ensemble" for the last slot. Course, more Swolf ensemble members got their own listings...but now we can't even tease the boss for having a lower ranked significant other than the employees, since hers is no longer ranked. Which is, in the grand scheme of world theater, kind of amusing.
Also, you should read Ben & Andre's citation. I think the last line refers to the show that Andre got a jeff for...
I will write about Ireland, my new baby step-niece, passport hell, and so much more later on. I'm beginning to run out of post-airplane adrenaline.
