Crazy Enough

Last night, AM invited me to go see Crazy Enough at Portland Center Stage (she scored free tickets from work). And can I just say, WOW! Storm Large has a phenomenal voice, and stayed consistent throughout the entire one women plus band (The Balls) show. I give her mad props for writing and starring in it. That takes balls. I also give her props for the topic: her life until now, where she reveals the good, the bad and the ugly. I don't think I could ever gain the nerves to reveal that kind of stuff to multiple strangers night after night. An expert from Storm's bio in the program describes the feeling perfectly:

... "Crazy Enough is the first theater piece Storm has ever written and, by far, the scariest thing she's ever done. However, as a great artist once said, "The thing that scares you the most is the very thing you should do."....

Before going to the show, AM and I quickly checked out the opening of Benefit the Surface Exhibit, going on now at Nemo. Check it out, as there are tons of quality pieces. Plus it's curated by Pattern People, who happen to be friends of GS. Wish I had had more time to actually mingle.

The quest to get wickedly toned is still in full swing. I'm gymin' it everyday for at least 75-80 minutes straight... all cardio. So far, so good. Monday I have a free consultation with a personal trainer. That should be interesting. I'm not planning to have someone assist me on a weekly basis (weight wise), but I am hoping to gain valuable information on what techniques and exercises are best suited to get the results I want. It can only get better, right?

Today, I had an epiphany... only 8 more days to go until my uber big weekend! I'm totally freakin' out like no other. I have no idea what to expect. Heck, I don't even know what time I'm supposed to be there yet. But, I'm also extremely excited. I can't wait to be there. Meeting, seeing, experiencing. It's going to be surreal and awesome. And no matter the end result, I'm sure I'll get great things out of it. Pushing it all aside, the biggest decision now is deciding what to wear. Red boots and skinny black cords are a must. Alas, I cannot wear them all three days. Hmmm... what else to wear???
