End of An Era

[eirenical]

The US Equity Hair Tour played their final show tonight at 6:30 EST. 30 minutes ago, it all came to an end... but I refuse to believe that anything related to Hair can ever truly die. Too many hearts were touched, too many lives changed.

I wasn't at the final show in Cleveland tonight, and a very large part of me wishes I had been... and a just as large a part of me is afraid that I couldn't have handled it and is glad I wasn't there. If anyone was... my heart was with you.

My "final" Tour thoughts?

It's the end of an era, that's true. But I'm reminding myself that #HairGrows... and nothing truly ends so long as you hold it in your heart. I'll see you again, my friends. @HairTribeOnTour... thank you for these last three years. They've been glorious beyond measure and I am a better, stronger, happier person for having known you. You've brought me amazing friends who I will cherish for as long as I have them and a sense of purpose that I will treasure for the rest of my days. You've given me so much and I feel selfish that I still want more, but there it is. I do.

I can't wait to see what's next.

All my love.

Peace out.

I'll just repeat what you're saying to yourself and what you said to me last May, hair grows XD
But I know how you're feeling. Even though I have already watched 3 different plays in the theater Hair was on, I still think it's weird to walk in to a different set. And then I kind of feel sad, because what I'm going to watch is not Hair. But well, that's life! At least we apreciated it while we were able to XD

I knew I could count on you. ^_^ *hugs*

I think maybe it helps that I've been letting go in small pieces since September as cast members started leaving. It also helps that a non-Equity tour will be starting in the fall. I don't know anything about it, yet, or if it will be anything like this production has been, but it's something. And it will be back again, someday. Hair is a show that never really ends. ^_^ It hit me really hard at 9 PM tonight when I knew the last show was over, but now... I don't know. There's a bit of a sense of peace and acceptance. I don't trust it yet, but it's there.

And I have fanfiction.

*eg* (Yes, Claude... that should scare you. ^_~)

Hahahaha that's just how it is ;D
At least you'll have a non-Equity tour. In here it's definitely over, but I learned to accept it, and well I'm in peace hahaha

I can already sense Claude's fear of you, my poor boy... ;D

*eg* Maybe you'll just have to come visit when the non-Equity tour starts up. ;D

Aw, you don't feel that sorry for him. I know you don't. Especially because I think the next scene of the Algea sequel may be one you've been waiting for for, well... quite some time. ^_~ *eg*

Hahahahaha
You're right I don't feel sorry for my Claude, it's his fault if he has a neon sign attached to him that says "please make me suffer a lot!" =)

Ohhh don't torture me with that scene!!! *squeeeee* XD

[rchan.livejournal.com]

OMG, he seriously does, doesn't he? ;)

"That" scene? Now... whatever scene could you be thinking I was speaking of, my dear? *eg* ^_~

[miss-warina.livejournal.com]

Yes he does, and no Claude don't give me that ugly glare, you know that you do.

OH STOP IT!! YOU EVIL EVIL GIRL!!!! =D hahahaha

Non-Equity auditions

I'm waiting for them. Because I'm just crazy enough to bounce in off the street and try for Claude.

Heh. ^_^ I believe you would. ^_^

...but I think they already happened. :-P think Josh Lamon was tweeting about it a couple of months ago, anyway -- about hearing them down the hallway or somesuch. Because, you know... I'm just about nuts enough at this point that I might have just been willing to join you. ^_~
