Entertaining Julia last Sunday night

Bryan and I went to Entertaining Julia on Sunday, because I had some DVDs to give to Beth Stelling, and I just wanted to soak up some EJ love from Beth and the Puterbaugh Sisters. I got there early to grab front row seats for photo purposes, but by the time the show started, the room was packed. It was fun from start to finish. Here are some of my favorite photos from that night. (Full Flickr set here.)

Miss Bea Haven, primping before she did a burlesque routine that climaxed with her making martinis from spigots in her bra:

New Bella Rossa Header!

Yeah, so I put together a new header for my blog up there, using Apple's Comic Life (which is super fun) and a bunch of my favorite performance photos from the past few months. It was really hard to narrow down my choices because I have a million favorites, but I made sure I had my boyfriend, roommates, myself, and my co-producer Dan represented, and those plus a few other faves ended up with the lineup you see above.

From left to right: Bryan Bowden as Timekeeper Willis, Nellie Huggins as a bunch of grapes, me squinting in the harsh glare of the spotlight, Andrew DeWitt (and a Don't Spit the Water audience contestant), James Fritz and Bill Cruz enjoying a laugh, Teresa Lemaire as the Undead Bride, Peter Kremidas in an Impress These Apes performance, and my ChUC cohort Dan Telfer doing stand-up in character as a creepy, blood-and-tooth-spitting zombie. Yay for a little blog makeover!
