Well, it appears that even when I am not in Orange County, if I am supposed to go see a show I've already performed in, I somehow get pulled into actually performing instead.

Why yes, Armand, Percy and I did go to New York this past weekend for the one night only concert-staged reading of The Scarlet Pimpernel. And yes, I did end up having to fill in for the role of myself. Which was certainly something given the minor differences and then new songs involved. Thank goodness the nature of the production allowed me a script if necessary. Though I do feel I was more off book than both Tony Yazbeck and Norm Lewis at the end of the day, even with the minor changes.

Still, now I get to focus on this weekend's performances for Leading Ladies of Orange County, as well as rehearsals for Jesus Christ Superstar which are underway for previews the last weekend of March and running through April.

So this is Valarnet. I was told this was the place to go if you wanted to be "in the know" outside of campus. I'm not sure what that flyer was all about - especially after looking at some of the other posts on here - but I figure asking some locals for some tried-and-true places to go sounds like the best thing to do for a girl still new to the city.

Personally, I've always felt that the bird's eye view is always the best way to get a lay of the land. Inside Orange County, the highest point is Santiago Peak - no relation - and I can tell you from first-hand experience that it's definitely worth the trip up. At the top there's really not much going on except a wide variety of communication towers, but if you turn back toward the coast... man...

What. A. View.
