curtain comes down

for the past six months i have been JASON M in the musical 'four little wheels' touring japan with some of the most amazing and talented people i know. here are some highlights of the last show.
over the course of six moths, zippy turned 6 years old about 40 times!!
it was a birthday party to remember!!
i am going to miss those pants!! to my fellow cast-mates, a big ARIGATO for a great run!! to my friends and family who came and saw the show (some driving hours and hours to see the show, some saving money to pay for a train ticket, and some sitting through it FOUR times, just because i wanted them there). i am looking forward to more shows in the future and anticipate great things in 2009!!

fall day in kamakura

a few friends and i decided to enjoy the autumn colors a few weeks ago. we were amazed at the leaves in the mountains and in the temples we were visiting. the blue sky created a perfect canvas to the orange and yellow and red paintings. i wish we could get snow next!!

just so you know

here is another kev-ism...

folding shirts at younkers is better than shoveling horse shit.

random, i know, but...

after an awful audition, i was met by someone great and walked around the city for a bit. i like this picture because you can see a very old temple over-looked by the tokyo tower. very representative of tokyo as the future protects the past.
me and my ladies at darts on our off day. we were on our last weekend on the road, a day off between two show days, in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do. we found darts. it was a glorious day. ps- these two kicked my butt!!

i went to a hot-spring resort town recently. doraemon didnt mind me in his mouth. i dont think.

kev-ism

i dont know why i remembered this today... but once when i was teasing my brother (probably telling him he was adopted... etc.) my dad tried to comfort the crying zac by saying "he's just trying to get your goat..." where this came from, we may never know- but one thing is for sure- i dont think i will ever forget the look on zac's face as he said- "but dad- i dont have a goat!!" tears changed to smiles, and all was better. so zac- here is your goat.

ps- you were not adopted. believe it or not- we are from the same gene-pool!!
