Well, after wishing Amy R. (also known as "Thrillin'") a happy birthday yesterday (also shared by JMal, I'll say), I got a wondrous email from her telling me she's packing it up and moving it out to CA. Wow. Another NYer I've lost. But, Thrillin's an actress, and unless you've already made it in movies, don't even think about having a career here on the stage. It's simply not the land of dreams and creativity, it's whether or not you've got big backers and can get Nathan Lane doing a cameo in Act I. No one takes chances anymore due to the horrible costs of mounting union demands and the cost of real estate in this town. I'm surprised yuppies haven't petitioned the city to put bids on theaters to turn them into condos! That's probably the next dirty trick up Bloomberg's sleeve. And he's really a Red Sox fan underneath it all, no matter what he says. I truly despise this bastard.
So, whether it's a career choice for Thrillin' or whatnot, I've lost another New Yorker. And that makes me really sad.
When my time possibly comes (and let's hope it doesn't) where the hell am I gonna go? I think Philadelphia or Chicago. Those are really the only two cities I can hack from traveling to both places. I will have to take my own life if I end up in the hackneyed cesspool of filth that is New Jersey. Springsteen, Bon Jovi, and Elaine Zayak aside, I honestly cannot think of one redeemable quality about that state. It's just too damn much.
Eh, fuck it. Who wants pie?
