Okay so cast members do their notes about their night and their performance.. now it's my turn :)
First off let me start by saying the Sweets love their fans. They take time when they can to take pictures with them, and value them all greatly :) So I like to name myself as one of their biggest fans, of course besides their families and friends they've had forever.
I planned out a treat for the cast by picking up the stuff to make sugar cookies and tubes of icing to decorate some of them with (I let Ashley and Tim know I was going to come early with the cookies so I didn't have to lug them in alone).
So I get to the theater around 6:30 and it must have looked hilarious, I'm standing with my Evil Dead lunchbox jammed onto my hand so i could carry the trays and I'm in front of a dark theater (I was there before tickets were on sale and before the lights were on). I'm waiting and the people inside the box office were just kind of looking at me. I wasn't sure who knew besides Ashley that I had arrived, so I wasn't going to try and barge in until it was okay for me to make an entrance. The one side door opened and Jessalyn, Dwight and Stephen came out as Amber and the Eunich Valets and Dwight said "Ooo those are for me right?" I don't think he expected me to say yes, they're for you guys hehe. They walked in but I didn't follow because I still wasn't sure if I should be in yet.
One of the theater people lets me in and I texted Ashley to let her know I was waiting in the lobby. I was greeted by Ashley and Dani (he looks awesome, especially up close). Ashley gave me a big hug and helped me carry the cookies in (totally <3 her!). So we walk down the aisle carrying the trays and she actually gets on the mic and announces that Kim the awesome fan has brought treats. They were so appreciative, I was actually a little surprised. It's my nature to do nice things for people I like, so I didn't think too much of the gesture :) For me, it's normal. I saw Andy and gave her a huge hug (<3 Andy!) and met her hubby Ron. I got to watch some of the rehearsal in the dark (part of the time people were telling me how good the cookies were, I'm so happy they liked them!) and I had Dwight "assert" himself on me as the bandleader during rehearsal lol (he came down the aisle and just totally attacked me, it was awesome I was laughing so hard). I claimed my seat and watched the hustle and bustle of pre-show tension, I was so excited for the night to come. I snapped a few pics of Tim (check it out, he looks like a dentist!), Tristan, Catt and a couple others.
The Queen of Trash was hosting, I always loved going to Trash Film Orgy and enjoying her hosting. The insult contest was pretty funny, I didn't feel too bad for Jesse since I had seen them talking in length and knew they were probably friends. I applaud his bravado for volunteering hehe. I had a couple good insults too, but didn't get a chance to earn a t-shirt. She did a great job, and it was fantastic when Darren and Nancy hit the stage to perform for us :) I about fell off my seat when she sang "Chase the Morning" which I believe is a reaction a lot of us had :)
I got video of Darren and Nancy doing "Folding 3 foot penis cards in NYC", which will probably get uploaded soon if the audio is okay. It was hilarious! After they performed, I could feel the excitement in the audience... everyone waiting for the show to begin. I still get goosebumps when I come to a show :D Jessalyn swore us all into the First Church of Repo as some of the audience got sprayed with Supersoakers to be baptized. I thought it would be great if they were filled with the stage blood, but of course as I think I overheard someone saying, "People would probably get pissed off if they had blood in them." I for one would have welcomed a bloodbath :) Hell it's fun, lickable, and washable! (The second being the most fun of all!)
Amber's Sweets were amazing as always, and they threw in 2 deleted scenes (NTAB and CUATMNP which I believe I recorded both of those in entirety as well) and those turned out insanely awesome. I swear I smiled this really dorky horror happy smile through the entire shadowcast. Dwight filmed me a couple times, introducing me as Kim, the biggest fan. I'll wear that title proudly, thank you :) It was awesome to see how they did things and how well the show went. Everyone, from Felicity as the first blood of the film to the little kid jumping around on stage during Seventeen, was absolutely eye-poppingly amazing! I wanted to take that kid home, he was so adorable. I even got a lapdance from Dwight as the bandleader after he literally caught amazing air leaping off stage during "We Started This Op'ra Shit!"
The costumes, the acting, the props... the lucky chick behind me that caught the Legal Assassin heart... well okay, I wish I had caught the heart but I did get some of the blood it was coated in! Everything was the best yet, and I know they're striving to make it even better for the next show in May (if it's even possible to keep upping themselves they will do it!)
After the show, I got pictures with a lot of the cast. I want to especially thank Jeff, just for having the patience to deal with my blurry camera when he was so tired (he took a couple of my photos for me, thanks Jeff! :)) I got some really great pictures, a lot of hugs (<3 you Catt, looking forward to seeing you again!), and some great memories. I was going to let Darren sign my chest again, but the Sweets had to clean up the awesome mess that was made during the show so we all had to scoot. In the lobby as I left I ran into Dani and he smiled and handed me some zydrate. Getting zydrate from GR is better than getting flowers!
So... to every Sweet: I had tons of fun, I'm a true fan, I love Repo! and I love the Sweets! You guys are all amazing, and I can't wait to make my presence known at the next show in May. TESTIFY!
P.S. - Andy was awesome in helping me show some fan-dom love with the jacket she made for me, hell yes!
P.P.S. - Yes I'm bringing treats again in May. I'm doing more than one upping myself, but you'll all see that for yourselves then. I already have the most awesome idea. *rubs hands together evilly*
