Off to LaLa Land!
I'm off to LA! Tomorrow morning that is. On a 7am flight. I must really love my friends. :)

On the upside, the wonders of modern technology have allowed me to check in and print out my boarding pass in advance, so I can probably wait to leave until 5:30am instead of 5am.

Yay for thanksgiving with friends though. Definitely the way to go.

Jon referred me to fakefags.uk which is brilliant! and has nothing to do with homosexuals.

I am so unbelievably sad that Act 1 Books has been bought out. A chicago theater institution, gone. And only a few short months after they moved into their new, larger, store. I forget when exactly they moved, but I know my mom was in town. I know that the new owners have promised to keep it the same, to maintain the "non-bookstore" aspects, but still...Act 1 was the 2nd largest theater bookstore in the country, space-wise, and the largest online theater bookstore. Plus I object to calling a bookstore Soliloquy. It's almost as bad as "from page to stage" and other hackneyed phrases. Sigh. I think mostly I'm annoyed that I learned about it from the website before the trade papers. Even though Performink is read by "100% of Chicago theater professionals". (as a side note, I asked my boss, who never reads it, if that claim meant she was not a Chicago theater professional). I should note that Performink has a cover story on the bookstore changeover this issue, but that still postdates the website/bookstore signs.

Enough. I will return to the blogosphere on Sunday or Monday. Don't miss me too much.
