"Who do you think you are, Bruce Campbell?"

Saw usernamenumber in Evil Dead: The Musical this weekend. It was a bit of a hectic process getting to it. Since Jared and I never totally settled on which show we were seeing, we never reserved tickets, so we were forced to get on the at-the-door list which, while they told us we'd likely be in with, made the waiting process nervous. And finding a parking space was hell, necessitating me leaping out of the car to stand in the waitlist line while Jared parked the car about a half a mile away. But fortunately all was well; we parked, got seats, and very much enjoyed the show. Everything was funny and Brad was phenomenal, such a great performer and so much fun to watch. I knew he was a great singer, but wow, was I impressed getting to see him onstage for the first time. I've seen Evil Dead 2 and parts of Army of Darkness, but never the musical. Jared is a huge fan of the show, so he had a blast, and I was impressed by the blood-splatter technology. I wonder if at MIT they have a bunch of engineering students on standby waiting to build weird-ass theatrical technical effects for shows just like this. :-) I'm so glad we managed to see it.

Now I think I am coming down with something. Again. This is getting absurd. I used to get sick exactly once a year. This is the fourth time since this past winter. My stress levels must really have done a number on my immune system. I am medicating with tea, which though it seems to be soothing I can barely taste. I hope I don't infect the people around me. Jared needs to finish his thesis this week, so he can't afford to be at reduced capacity.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the show, and thanks very much for the kind words! Being able to be in one of my favorite shows was a blast. And while there isn't exactly a line of them, suffice it to say our set designer/tech director (who also played Linda, since MIT people manage to make my schedule look laid-back) wants to go into "theatrical robotics" for a living when she graduates. ;)

I know what you mean. I used to only get sick once a year and since last fall I've been sick at least 6 times. We should have a yogurt party and build up our immune systems together!

You mean a school like MIT tend to attract obsessive overachievers? I'm shocked! Shocked I say!

Totally randomly, in case you ever find yourself looking for parking near MIT again, there's a visitor's lot that's free to park in after standard school hours and on weekends. The lot is at the corner of Vassar Street and Mass Ave, and has a giant Bank of America kiosk thing in front of it. I've only once had a problem using that lot to park when visiting MIT (the lot was full), and I've had no trouble any other time.
