let's kick it!


After hearing rave reviews about the new Pixar flick, Wall(e), Ryan and I walked over to universal last night to see it. Universal Studios is on the top of a really big hill, so during standard business hours there is a tram car that shuttles people up and down the hill. We arrived at the bottom of the hill just as the tram was pulling up. We hopped into a car and there was one seat left on the isle we were sitting, then Zac Efron jumped in next to us! Right before the tram took off for up the hill, Zac moved to the row behind us to sit next to his buddy. People on the tram were taking pictures over their shoulders and girls were going crazy. He was there to Hancock, or so his friend said loudly talking into his cell phone. So, since Ryan and I were going to the movies there too, we followed him. While purchasing our movie tickets at the kiosk next to him, I was so close I could practically smell him. Ryan and I decided we'd be good friends with him if he knew us. Maybe we'll bump into him again sometime; I hear he lives in Studio City. Oh yeah -- Wall(e) was wonderful. It was an amazing story about a trash compactor that included practically no dialog, simply beeps, cranks, and clicks. I recommend it to any adventurous movie goer.

STUDIO 1954!!!!


Listen, Ryan, Tory and I have worked hard on perfecting our partner acrobatics for this piece. We've rocked at it twice, and our music has screwed up two times one time. Chances are our music will F-up again this Friday & Saturday night too, that's why we need YOU there! Please come cheer us on! There is a killer open bar that believe me, I HAVE LOVED before, during and after each show so far. Come see us and the bar for yourself. You'll be glad you did.

Opening Night

I cannot believe that it is already may 9th! It feels as if new years eve was just yesterday!

Tonight is opening night for the production of Studio 1954. Over the last few weeks, I have struggled with time management to put together my piece for the show. Not only did i struggle with time, but I also was challenged with casting my act. Without being able to gain a few professional acrobats to perform with me, I figured I'd just make them myself. Ryan, and his best friend, Tory were quickly appointed as they are both extremely talented actors and dancers. We put together a total of about 6 routines before we have finally settled on the one we will perform tonight. I'm going to try to get it on video. Check back soon for that.
