Ever Been to Perth.....

During all of my chats with the 5 of you, I think that your numbers have increased, I have been remiss in telling you about my trips to Perth.....
Now here is the reason why.....
I was asked by an old and dear friend, Micheal, who owns Perth Manor in......Perth.....to come up and do an intimate Sharron's Party at his fancy place....and it is fancy....google it!.......of course, I said yes!
I went up there and the people were lovely and the place was.....also lovely.....
I was treated like queen and my audience was titilated and excited .....because you know how I am naughty....
I think Micheal was afraid the whole time that I was gonna say cocksucker....
Because the prominent people of Perth came out to see the show and I was trying to soften it up.....you don't want to cocksucker them right away....
you gotta save it up for a few visits.....
I put together a special show just for them and they loved it!!!
We had a great time.....and they were the tiniest bit naughty.....
And then Michael and David, his partner, would serve us the most beautiful breakfast on the patio the next afternoon..... not morning because the audience bought me a bottle of wine and I got the tiniest bit slosshed.
I went back up again a couple months later and did an outside Party....
There was a tent and everything.
A Barbra Steisand concert really and brought Thom as my special guest!!!
FANCY!!!
The crowd was bigger this time and more diverse.....from about 24 years to 70 years I would say......they laughed and I sang.....and I still didn't say cocksucker....
I am still saving it~
We finished off the night with a sing a long 'Over the Rainbow' that I will never forget.
The people there are just fabulous.....they bought me a couple bottles of wine and I had to be carried back to the house by George.....
Now here is the reason I never wrote about it!!!!
Michael said that he didn't want the world knowing the the important people of Perth were having the tiniest of naughty times!!!
So I didn't say.
Now I hear that the people of Perth are sad that they have been left out of the blog.
Well.....here you are people.
I am not going to name you ..... to preserve your privacy.....but know that I love you.....
especially the potty mouth lady who shares the name of the queen.
All my love to Perth.....
best,
Sharron

Bikram Still!!!

Yes, people I am still doing Bikram......
I am still mixin' it up in the hot yoga.....
I love it!!!!!
Paul McQuillan was right!
But don't tell him I said so.......
We wouldn't want him to get a bit head!
I am still doing my two person show with Georgie....
I am almost, ALMOST, having fun.....I still have an asshole the size of the head of a pin because my ass is so clenched from tension....
TMI?
We have one more week.
Funny place, that Orangeville...
It is a very lovely town.....
Picturesque one might say........
But ......
No....not but......
AND!
One night George, I and our awesome stage manager, Ms. Jennifer Jansen......you could add Lucas onto the end of her name as she is married to that lighting guy Steve Lucas....he did Wizard of Oz....and is awesome as well......
We went out to the Winchester Pub on Broadway....
For some reason it makes me chuckle that the main street is called Broadway.....
Just gay enough!....
So we go to this pub because every night I talk about nachos in the show and it makes her mouth water.....so we go for nachos....
So....it is jam night at the pub....
and the crowd is a mix of under-agers and guys who look like the drink OV beer and play slow-pitch....
ODD, non?
So, the first guy up is a black dude...who is going to wrap.....oh no....I mean rap....
like really rap....
His dad is waiting for him to start and and holding a handycam.....
Um.....where are we?
Then we glean pretty quickly that he is from a twosome called Triple Threat....
He says words like 'bitch' and 'pussy'....I think he is about 18 years old....
But not bad....but ten feet away from me.....way closer to the 'stage' is a dude who clearly likes his beer and shepards pie....oh and he also seems to be partial to white people.....
He has the hugest scowl on his face....and his group of six.....which contains a woman who's voice is pitched higher than the chipmunks......this group complains that this is a pub and they shouldn't play 'that kind' of music there.....
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?
Oh my lord!!!
No really....not a word of a lie....
Jen and George and I are just agog....
It is about this time that I realize that I am spoiling for a fight....
A little fist fight never hurt anyone.....
I am pretty sure that I can take a couple people....
As I think this the waitress, who seems like she is about 16, tells me that I remind her of the chick from 'The Big Comfy Couch'...
Isn't she a clown?
I hate clowns!!!
That comment makes me want to fight her....
Jen is starting to egg me on......
THEN.....
A girl comes in the bar......late teens, early twenties..........a bit slutty....lets not mince words.....
She is up dancing to the jamming musicians, who are playing James Taylor for fricks-sake......and she is dancing alone!!
I see her looking our way over and over.....I start to get worked up that she is looking at George!!!!
Then she asks me to dance.....
REally?
Well....
Who knew?
Orangeville is a different place.
I am soooo enjoying our time there.....
But it is a bit unpredictable!

Finally! More YouTube, Baby!

I spent the better part of yesterday figuring this MAC out....but it was fruitful!!!
I finally edited some footage from the Christmas Party and it is on Youtube.....
It is always humbling to look at yourself at any angle for an extended period of time.....
But I am also looking ahead to editing the Brampton footage that I took.....
Oooh.
It is a challenge.
I find putting stuff on Youtube daunting ..... there is always some yahoo that is gonna call me something....it always initially cuts to the quick..... but everyone has got a fricken' opinion.....like assholes, right?
EFF IT!!!!
Sticks and stones may break my bones.....but the Party will never hurt me!!!!
Check it out!Type in 'SharronPartyGirl' into the search engine and see what you get!

Ropes End!

Holy Crap you guys!!!
I opened a two hander!
With my husband !!!!!
In Orangeville.
And for all of my very dear, concerned Orangeville people...... I apoligize that I may have shown the town in a bad 'meteorological' light.......BUT!!!!
People!!!!
We drove through, at least, 4 snow storms so far ......the most recent during which the show was sooooo heavy that every 10 minutes we had to pull over the clear the windshield wipers......IT  WAS THAT HEAVY!!!
REALLY.
And at one point George was looking through a clear spot on the window the size of a fist. 
But the funny thing is ..... we drove through one during which George drank a milkshake and only handed it to me when we started to slide......now we are all......OH, I DON'T EVEN NOTICE IT!
One of the fabulous tech people commented one day in rehearsal about how they like to look out the front window of their house and watch people get stuck in snow drifts....I mean REALLY!!!!
That is just wrong!
And this morning our dear hosts called us and told us we needed to get out and to work because the road was frozen....FROZEN.....then they proceeded to tell us that the best way to get out was to take a right at the end of the road and make sure that you didn't put your foot on the brake all the way.....and we would be fine.....god bless the awesome Darryl and Marilyn.......our hosts.......but that is some weather.
The whole experience has been a great one, aside from the ass-ie weather.....the people really are just the bees knees and David Nairn is running a fabulous theatre up there.
He is very passionate.
And it was only the last two days before we opened that I begun to doubt my ability to perform the set out task of the two hander.
There are just so many lines.....so much talking.....so little singing....and alot of changing.....
I had my melt down that David talked me through...... it was one of those....'holy shit what the fuck do I think I am doing....how the fuck can I do this' .....things..... but it turned out..... my pal Blythe came to see the opening and I informed her that I had not had a solid poop in three days.....and was holding a bottle of Tums at the time.
But opening night was just ......it was fun.
Really.
It is so awesome to be onstage with my husband.
It was a great Valentines gift.
He only gives me notes sometimes.
Yup....he gives me notes.
Just like Fred Willard in 'Guffman'......

Oh my lord!!!
I love Paranormal State.....George won't watch it with me....he says nothing happens.....I say that it is the promise of something finally happening which keeps me watching.....and to answer Micke.....yes....I have seen the episodes with the old school ghost busting lady....she  is all the old version of the crazy round lady from Poltergiest.....I  have been away for most of the week in Orangeville so I have all these shows that I want to watch! But I can't..... I CAN'T yet!!!!
I have to learn my damned lines....wow.....I miss coming onstage for 20 minutes and singing the last tune and then reading for the rest of the time!!!
This is alot of work....I know....duh, Sharron!
George and I are working hard! We are all an acting duo.....look out Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn....of course they can't really look anywhere because they are dead....aren't they?
So...that being said.....I have to go....
But here are a few thoughts....
It snows alot in Orangeville.
Did you know that in a pinch......'Anyways' works to get you to the next transition onstage if you can't remember your line?
George is a good actor.
Otto's farts are starting to smell a bit like Chef Boyardee.

It's Back!

So, we get back from Orangeville late last  night from rehearsal and the only thing on my mind.........
THE SEASON PREMIERE OF LOST!!!!!!!!!
I could not be more excited..... excited like when I used to have slumber parties.
I didn't think I would be coming home last night and was trying to figure out how I could get Thom to come over and explain to him over the phone how to program my my very precious PVR to record it.
Then at rehearsal we decided that we should come back here tonight because of the impending....
Storm 2008....
can you believe how they build this shit up?
God help us if we ever have a war.....
Storm 2008 ...
is different then.....
Fucking Windstorm 2008 .....
and if you wanna read more about that go down to the next blog....
worth it, I promise.....
But....when we were on our convoy home I realised that we would make it to see the timeshifter showing....
I got so pumped I had to stop myself from really speeding.
We walked in the door and and I ran to the TV....
which is about 2 feet from the front door .....
and found out that it had just started in Calgary.....
Calgary..... ( said with a bit of a tone ..... and if you don't know why...... we can have a drink sometime)....
So, I ran around the loft throwing off my clothes and putting on my comfys with George just staring at me and shaking his head.
When the show started.....
I almost peed....
Now I know that I use that alot......but I really did this time.
This show makes me feel special.....like I am in some special geek club.....when people ask me if they can just watch this season I just laugh and say....'NO WAY'
!!!
And in secret I am thinking....
'What are you effing nuts!'
I found myself all confused again and thrilled.....and I didn't really know what was going on!
But I did not care!
I love that show!
I LOVE IT!
Thoughts.

Jack: CRAZY and Earnest....and Thinner?
Kate: Slutty and not trust worthy....I think she is gonna turn.
Sawyer: Dreamy....not as dreamy as George, my husband but I am just trying to be true to the story.
Locke: What the Fuck....is he shot...is he not....is he real?
Ben: Weirdy
Charlie: Aw...Dead.
Desmond: Don't know what his story is.....and that room Penelope was in looked like it was on the island....didn't it?
Hugo: Godd story line....I loved when he tried to run.
Oceanic 6: Intriguing!
I feel about Lost....the way George feels about Friday Night Lights.
TV is good.
