listen to the music of the moment people dance & sing, we're just one big family <3

Tonight was The Performing Arts Connection's Open Studio, beautifully planned by Cara and featured a 30 minute FOB concert to top off the night. The girls were in excellent form - high energy, excited to be back after four days off, and their usual silly, supportive, and enthusiastic selves. I was particularly stoked about the turn out of the whole event, and thrilled to have a packed house for the girls!

After the show, Charlotte, Shelley, Tarr, Tori, Lexi, and the FOB Moms of those gals and I headed over to Sky for dinner. It was a fun, small gathering where the talk of the night was the Cruise tour circa February amidst games of Hang Man! More on the cruise/Disney stuff later, but I'm sure there will be MUCH to report (;

As I reflect on the night, I'm filled with the kind of joy and pride that only comes with the FOB spirit. It's been an incredible season so far and I couldn't be happier spending my time with the FOB cast and watching their hard work come to life in a truly spectacular show!!!

Loves it,

Oh, what a night . . .

Another amazing FOB experience tonight!! First off, it was our official opening night at Curtis and we had an enthusiastic crowd - including past FOB sisters Dow, Gina, Baer, Wall, and Jamie! Very cool to reconnect with them! The show went off without a hitch - the girls sang amazingly well and the dancing was on fiyyya....among the highlights were "The Climb" and "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" that the girls sang to the NEWLY ENGAGED COUPLE!!! Cara's boyfriend, Kayleigh's Uncle Jon, proposed to Cara on stage before Act 2. It was a sight to see and everybody was cheering and crying. Very cool. After the show, we had our usual Oriental Delite-fest where the cast gave me a TREE (full out) and some excellent duffle bags for easier transportation/storage of the sound equipment. Oh yeah, we raised the most money EVER on the raffle (over $400) thanks to Joel and Cara!

Now it is time for some MUCH needed sleep.
