Last day of October news

- Saturday was fun fun fun: 1) I'm no longer a Halloween virgin, and 2) I won Best Costume! (pictures coming)

- It's not cold enough! Arg! Snow is steadily covering the mountains, but it turns to rain at Anchorage. Went cross country skiing on Sunday - a 15-minute drive gets me to Glen Alps, which is high enough to get inches of snow every day. Most excellent conditions, including an older guy skijoring with - wait for it - two goats! Only in Alaska.

- The Rocky Horror Show is going well. We open in two weeks.

- Viewing for the All Hallows Fest is officially open.

We've had almost an inch in the last two days. It has begun! J (a coworker) says the farmer's almanac predicts a higher than average snowfall this winter. If it's in the almanac it must be true.

The RHS rehearsals are going great. I'm really enjoying all the dancing and singing that goes on in a musical. Wearing leather and corsets makes it even more fun.

i'm in a musical!

Yes, it's The Rocky Horror Show. I'm one of the dancers/singers. It runs during Thanksgiving (odd), November 19-26th, at Out North here in Anchorage.

I haven't had this much fun in years, possibly decades.

It's snowing in Anchorage. It seems winter is almost here: two days ago the low was in the teens, and now it's back up to lower thirties. How quickly one gets used to cold weather: I walked out the door this morning and could not believe it was snowing. "Surely it's not below 32? I'm only wearing a shirt", said Gabe.

i'm in a play!

guess which one:

(alphabetical order)

A Streetcar Named Desire
Hair
The Glass Menagerie
The Rocky Horror Show
West Side Story

in my flickr inbox (sent september 23, but i don't check flickr email too often):


Hi Gabriel,

I am writing to let you know that one of your photos has been short-listed for inclusion in the third edition of our Schmap Anchorage Guide, to be published later this month.


Isn't that cool? Here's the aforementioned photo.

i've been in alaska for exactly one year now.

joy! weather forecast calls for lower 20s on wednesday night. if it keeps raining (like it has for the last week) that means snow. snow!
