The Last Real Record Store On Earth

Tonight we blocked the opening number of the show. It was really fun! Most of the time we just get to rock out and dance, which I love. We also ran the choreography for "Desert Island Top 5 Breakups" and "She Goes," and I think we all remembered it better than we thought we would!

The only bummer is that I think I'm coming down with a cold. Hopefully it won't be too bad and won't put my voice out of commission. I'd better start hitting the Vitamin C!

The exes had our first dance rehearsal yesterday. Woo hoo!! I absolutely love Robin's choreography, it's perfect. And the other girls, well, let's just say this, they made me feel like I was extraordinarily awkward, that's how good they were. Of course, if you've been reading Scott's blog, you'll know that we did all this without Liz, who sings lead on "She Goes." However, I have been informed that we now have a Liz, and she is someone I'm very excited about. I don't know her personally, but I know her husband and if she is half as cool as he is, we're going to have a blast. We have another music rehearsal tonight, so I'll probably write about that later.
Peace, love and rock 'n' roll,
Amanda

Inaugural Post

Ah, my first post on my High Fidelity Blog. Very exciting stuff, people. We've already had our first two rehearsals and I am already super hyped for this show. We've got an amazing cast assembled and I am so thrilled about that. The Exes have been working on a couple of songs that we sing back-up on and I must say I am mightily impressed by all of the ladies involved. And through some divine intervention or just fate, we actually sound good as a group. Woo hoo! So, if you can't tell, I'm really excited about this show. I'll be posting on here pretty regularly so check back and find out what I'm excited about next time!
