Matthew Polenzani

For this show, I was stationed backstage. I got to hear his whole show (he sang Germanic opera) and watch it on the backstage monitor. Here's what everything looked like from my post:

Pretty cool, eh?

Panelist

Yes, not only was I  asked to speak at  a conference this year, but I was also asked to be a part of a panel discussion for a university wide Communication Day! I agreed and was featured as a panelist at an event called "Public Speaking about Unique Topics with Strong Emotional Connections." My unique topic? Broadway. (Did you even have to ask?) The panel went well, and I handled every question that was thrown my way. Thanks to everyone who came out and to the professor who knew I could do it!

I ♥ Disney--every Disneylicious part!

For Spring break this year, we went to Disney. We got to visit Lindsey and Brian, and I got meet Azalea! I just couldn't stop giving her hugs and kisses! We stayed at All Star Music in the Rock 'N Roll Inn (which turned out to be right across from the Broadway Inn!

We teased Daddy about how he should've moved us over there!). We went to Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios, but split it over two days this time, unlike our usual "let's-do-everything-in-one-day-that-most-people-do-in-a-week" strategy. Oh! Do you remember the Space Mountain conversation from about two years ago? Well, I am very pleased to announce that we finally got Codi to ride Space Mountain. In fact, during the whole duration of the ride, she was screaming and laughing things like "This is the best ride ever!,"" How have I not done this before?" and "I love this, I love this, I love this!"  Sigh.... We tried to tell her.

I'm gonna leave you with some pictures of me with my new buddy Azalea!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

The Heart Speaks

This week was very busy with tech the whole first half of the week and shows at the end. All of this work was for the EIU Dancers and their show entitled "The Heart Speaks." I personally really enjoyed the show--but, then again, I do have a soft spot for dancing shows! By the way, you should check out their nifty poster. Guess who designed it?

It was me! :)
