happy halloween!

halloween weekend was also opening weekend of CATS at the palace. so not only did we get a new cat at home, i've been living cats all day at work. we've been wearing the ears with our cats shirts during the week, but with it being halloween and i all, i got into the cat spirit a little more for the saturday performance. one of the girls in the show is also a box office employee, so she did super basic cat makeup for me. all the kids and old people who came on saturday night really got a kick out of it.what's the fun of working in a theatre if you can't dress up once in a while right? i brought home a playbill (i love that wokring at the theatre means my name is in all the playbills) and we went through the character names in order to find a name for our new baby.

we decided on rumpleteazer. although the character in the show is a girl, its not really a feminine name. we have been calling him rumpy or rumplesneezer. he caught a minor cold during those two awful days he had to be at the shelter. jeremy still calls him "cat" or "blackie" but is slowly making the transition to rumpy.

he and cricket have been getting along famously and he sleeps by my feet every night. we love him.

we had no trick-or-treaters either on halloween or on the sunday before which was the designated trick or treat time for manchester (thats the stupidest thing i ever heard of) and that kinda bummed me out. but since i was working during primo t-o-t hours, i guess im glad i didnt miss any cute kids. and we didnt buy candy so oh well.

what did you do for halloween?

wine tasting

ignore if you will the awkward posing and totem pole head thing that steph and i are doing... this is a bunch of girls i work with! the two on the left are high schoolers working for me in the box office. steph is the technical manager of the box, lauren (flowery shirt) was the manager, and cate and meredith are our wonderful marketing team.

we had a great event last thrusday - wine tasting, silent auction and live auction. created lots of chaos and work for me and the girls but i loved it. super fun, got to meet lots of the involved patrons of the theatre, and got to dress up! (no wine on duty!!!) plus, all the money we raised is like job security, right?

now complete with super awkward photos!
