Last night we had a small going-away party thanks to my dear friend, Teri. It was nice. I mean, you know, the whole ceremony of good-bye is always a little akward. (I usually try to duck out of parties without the obligatory: “Oh, you’re LEAVING? All ready? It’s only 2am!”) It was interesting to see who came…despite all the anguish over his senior project, all of Josh’s former group members came…as well as another random I.T. kid who looked so much like Josh in height and build I nearly grabbed his ass by mistake.
Ambrose and his very pregnant wife came…again, I’m sad that I won’t be able to see their new baby when he/she is born in June. We chitchatted about fight choreography and I returned the staffs we used during “Legendary.”
No one left yesterday without taking home one of my plants. This was seriously one of my biggest stresses: Giving Away All The Plants. It’s really incredible how many I had generated over the past three years. Granted, they’re all Idiot-Proof plants (spider plants, cactus, etc.), so it’s not like I have this incredible green thumb. I gave some away to co-workers, to the artist co-op, to the dance store I work at, and than finally last night I handed one over to each guest as they were leaving. I even talked each one of them up: “Ooo, that’s a nice little spider plant, look how healthy he is…he’s even producing a little baby spider right there…and the planter he’s resting in is really beautiful too!”
One of the best things I received was a set of photos taken by a professional during The L Project. Below is just a small sample from “Legendary”:


Teri, Mara, and Kim squaring off….and yes, there’s me about to kick ass with a staff.
