"Grease" Night 1: Opening night, with a weak back and a cough...

Tonight was opening night. But I had my points of nervousness.

First of all, Jackie Becker (One of the cheerleaders) is petrified of the giant set. Yesterday, during the hoop dance she was on the set, and she dropped her hoop. It landed on my head. In the end, of the show, they had Mike Mainier walk down with her to calm her down during the stair walk.

Secondly, my back is sorer than shit today. That's because I had to hold Courtney Spradley up for an extended period of time, for a photo shoot. In the show I hole her for two seconds at the end. Not a problem. But this was a five minute hold while posing for a photographer.

Thirdly, I'm getting over a cold. It's mostly over now, but I'm still coughing up a storm.

No pain, no gain.

The show went alright, with no real errors, in my opinion. Despite my back and coughing, I pulled through. The audience enjoyed it, and, of course, the dressing room was filled with balloons for Jeopardy Mike's morale again.

We all went to the Ground Round again. I took pictures and had some taken of myself. I'm starting a new album in my photo website. "Rob Dubs House of Love" with my female friends. I got Summer and Christine today. More coming up...
