And get to the important things in my life.

And by important things, I mean this paragraph I typed out:

“I just ate three ‘chicken’ nuggets. We ran out of ketchup. I walked to the store to get some. I came back and squeezed some ketchup onto my plate. And ate the nuggets. The End.”

I realize that the minutiae of my life is rather, well, scintillating but you ALREADY KNOW THAT. So, I will tell you something you don’t know.

I wrote a show.

A cabaret, of sorts.

It’s just me at a microphone with my vocal coach/good buddy Mark on the piano at a theatre in midtown on a Thursday night in July. I will be posting the number to make a reservation shortly, in case any of you are local readers and in case you think it might be fun to attend. The cabaret is about my family. So, trust me, IT WILL BE FUN.

Most of the stories are pulled from this blog and the songs were painstakingly chosen by me, songs that I thought would fit and would mesh and would flow. I am nervous as hell, I’m just going to say that right now. But I’m so proud and I’m so excited because this is me seizing an opportunity and sculpting a work of art all by myself. A few months ago, I decided to stop waiting for someone to give me an acting gig and to create one for myself. I trusted my talents as a singer and a writer and I’m so thrilled to share some stuff with a real live audience.

The theatre seats 85 people so, when I post the details, be sure to jump on it and make a reservation because if you haven’t noticed, MY FAMILY IS ENORMOUS. Plus, my mom knows every Catholic in the tri-state area. So, there you go. Good times. My goal is to get the theatre 2/3 full. Will let you know how I do with that.

Just an announcement to say hello. I am doing okay. I wrote a show. I’m going to sing some songs. It’s going to be awesome. Hope you can come. I ate some “chicken” nuggets. You’re welcome. Good night.
