Orlando--Miami--Etc...

Dear Anna,

After Savannah we ended up in Florida again. We did a show in Orlando on Thursday then a show in Miami on Friday and then back to Orlando for the weekend. Let's break this shizzle down, yo!

ORLANDO:
Our first night there--whatever...We had to wake our asses up at the crack of dawn to go get finger printed because of some strange Florida rule about playing at schools. I was having a pretty crap morning to begin with and this didn't help. So we get there at 7am and wait around to get finger printed...BOOOOOO!!!! It was over soon enough and we headed to the theatre to do the show. Show was fine...mood improved eventually and the day was over....We then headed to Miami which made my life betteR! :) More on that in the Miami section---

Our weekend in Orlando was something else entirely. How do I describe Orlando properly? Hell hole? Consumer shit palace? Sure...those will do fine. It is not the place you thought it was when you were a kid. It is kinda gross and by kinda I mean completely. We had decided weeks before this to go to Pleasure Island and we weren't backing out...so the only thing we really did the whole weekend was that. Rhonda, Nick, Kev and I headed out about 10pm...Miss Erica drove us there and we were on our way...TO HELL!

HAHAHAHAHAHHA! Pleasure Island is my worst nightmare come to fruition! First off...tons and tons and tons of the kind of people that make me want to kill babies...second...AWFUL music (though I knew that would be the case)--they coulnd't even both to play GOOD pop music...I can't even describe. So anyway...we got TANKED because honestly...that was all that could be done. We drank overpriced drinks that THANKFULLY were filled with liquor and got so shizzy-faced that we couldn't see...(sorry Mom...not my proudest moment!) All we could do was lose our minds in the midst of people grinding on each other--looking for messed up love in all the Wrrrrrong places they were...

So we lost our minds as I said before and decided that screaming at people and making fun of everyone was the best option. We also decided that going the wrong way on the turntable dance floor for about 2 hours was the best idea ever. And it was! I've never had more fun filled hatred in my life!

I don't REALLY recall all the maddness that happened after that...all I know is that the night ended with a tequilla shot and Nick and myself getting separated from Kev and Rhonda. Nick and I waited in the parking lot for them for a long while in which Nick smashed his cell phone on the ground. We also yelled at people...twas very funny and slightly tragic.

The next day was...rough...very very very rough...but we now know that Orlando is NOT the place for us. Good to know, right?

So...my advice...don't go to Orlando unless you can fly RIGHT into Disney and never leave the grounds.

MIAMI:
Hell YES to Miami!!! Sean Patrick lives in Miami and I knew I would get to see him...so I was very much looking forward to this night! We got there JUST in time for me to see Sean in "La Cage" at The Actor's Playhouse. Nicolas was a very nice man and drove me down to Coral Gables to see the show--bless his lil heart! :) hahaha...
I got there...had some dinner...saw the show and had a smile on my face the whole time. Sean was fantastic as usual! Hitting the highest of high notes and kicking those legs higher than ever before. YOU GO! :)
We went out for a drink after the show and had an amazing time catching up. I love this kid...such a great soul! He took me back to my hotel and headed home. He came to see the show the next morning and it was a blast! We all had such an amazing time on stage and I could hear him laughing from the back of the theatre. After the show we hugged goodbye and he headed out.
We spent the afternoon in Miami at North Miami beach...had a great meal and enjoyed the awesome beach. Erica went swimming in her clothes. Amazing.

Miami was over...and it was nice. We then headed to Orlando (remember the "Pleasure" Island story from above) and all hell broke loose!

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

PEACE!
