Them: My iPhone.
Me: Well, this date is officially over.

Met Opera Students retweeted my “Dead Man Walking!?!” guess for next season. If I’m right, I’m going to cry. COULD YOU IMAGINE!?!?

Stephen Sondheim on Leonard Bernstein
Terry Gross: Did you learn anything working with Bernstein and watching him work?
Stephen Sondheim: Oh, sure. A great deal. Yes. Mainly I learned something about courage. I learned – Lenny was never afraid to make big mistakes. He was never afraid to fall off the top rung of the ladder and I learned by implication that the worst thing you can do is fall off a low rung. If you're going to make a mistake, make a huge one.

Liveshow date changed!!
Something came up and I need to change the date of my liveshow this week. The new date is Thursday, Feb. 23. The time is the same (8pm EST) and it’ll still be two hours as promised. It’ll be worth the wait, I promise!
