I'm Not In NYC Anymore, Homos.
Last year, I came out to Reno to dance in Reno Dance Company's 2011 Holiday Season Nutcracker. I originally got the job through my friend, Pedro, who ended causing more drama than humanly necessary. This year has already been way different, in such a good way. I am really excited for this season could bring.
Before deciding if this were the right choice for this season, I had to first decide if I should take the opportunity or doing another show down south for 6 weeks. I was offered Anything Goes. Then I thought to myself, I am a professional dancer and the Nutcracker would be better for me.
Reno is definitely a unique city, it's small, but actually quite comfortable when you know people. The "scene" is small, nothing but trolls. It is sure to be fun; though, if you're with the right group of people. I missed some of the fast food joints: Jack in the Box, Del Taco, Carl's JR, etc.. And I don't eat fast food.
This year I am playing the Drosselmeyer and in the Arabian pas de deux. It's an honor to me to accept both roles and even to be in the Flower Corps. The cast for this production are all of my friends, some feel like family. They all treat me with respect, and all of them, I respect. I am learning everything that I need to learn in a timely manner, I couldn't be more excited!
Before I left NYC, my friends and I got together on Election night at Therapy Bar on 52nd Street, also where some of us work. It was my going away party, and what a better way to celebrate than President Obama's VICTORY? From champagne, to vodka, tequila, and all the way to Jameson on the rocks, it was a night to remember. I should leave out the two platters of nachos that we devoured that night, too. Therapy has the best nachos in NYC!!
My friends in NYC are so supportive, Jason and Shane especially, that they're coming in December to see me perform in the show. There may be a few others joining them, but I am happy to say that I have such great friends. It's hard to find them in a city so big like New York. And as always, we are sure to have a kiki out here. I just have to beware of my alcohol intake because of the mere six shows in a four day period that I have to perform. I guess a bottle of Advil and a case of Sugarfree Redbulls are in order.
That's All!
