I'm up, I'm up - have been up since 9:45 after about six-and-a-half hours of sleep. But the minute I got up I had a little fit of irritation that got the better of me, I'm afraid, although I didn't do what I REALLY wanted to do, which was be really nasty. I cannot tell you how disappointing ticket sales for The Brain are - it's pathetic and I am really annoyed with so many of my friends who not only can't be bothered to book tickets (half-price available if they can't afford full), they don't even say why they can't come if they can't. But I think we all know they can and they're just too lazy to get off their complacent ASSES and be supportive, and that includes a LOT of alums from the theater department. I cannot wait until they ask me to come support them - only then will I write the e-mail I so wanted to write today. Of course, you know many of them who are on Facebook will say exactly what one person from there said this morning: "I knew nothing about it." Now, I have been posting EVERY SINGLE DAY about the cast, always linking to BPT. Sorry, but these people are NEVER off Facebook and there's no way they didn't see at least one of these posts.
So, I wrote a strong Facebook post, and a strong e-mail - I tried to keep it light in tone, and let me tell you how hard that was. We'll see if that results in any sales today. I was seriously ready to cancel this morning and I probably would have were it not for Alet and Cason flying in to do this.
