If you think that all it takes to pull off a show like LADIES OF EOLA HEIGHTS is the Ladies on stage, then you are living in a fantasy world. From Mike (Boom Boom) to David Dorman and Scott Penyak, the real magic takes place behind the scenes. Not to mention this incredible website! Anyhow, we hope that crew members will periodically pipe in with their NYC experiences. If you need to contact anyone of the crew, simply send an email to our webmaster!

Okay, before anyone else gets to say it ... I messed up. No, I fucked up! We got to our show on Thursday and when I got out of the cab, I realized I had forgotten the laptop and cables for the sound! Apparently I was so absorbed in making sure everyone else remembered their stuff that I forgot my computer bag. All of this happened about 45 minutes before curtain and for those who know the show, you know the show relies on music! I swear it took me nearly 30 minutes to get back to the condo. Meanwhile, Boom Boom was forming a prayer circle to ensure my return before curtain! Luckily, I made it back with 2 minutes to spare, only to realize the sound system was messed up! Dan the man fixed it and we started on time, but I assure you it was not a night to relive! We are now waiting to go to some PR event. Tommy is sitting here relaxing while I finish my Orange chicken from last night. All I can say is that someone was looking out for me tonight! I don't think I have ever been so stressed in all my life, including my most difficult real estate transaction!

These people are C R A Z Y - but that, as you know is part of what makes them who they are. I will tell you that a few drinks and / or mind altering substances makes them seem somehow, how do you say, more normal?

Speaking of normal, Normal Anne made an appearance last night when Tommy simply attempted to buy our tech hottie a drink in a kind of lovely “thank you for a job well done” sort of way - Normal Anne had apparently called dibbs without telling anyone else, and sort of shocked all in attendance by not allowing Tommy to do what he wished - Normal Anne got sort of CRAZY about her terror-tory, but hey, that's Normal Anne.

Then we moved on to the COCK - which, as you can imagine, was not usual for us Orlandoans - when Michael asked Sammy exactly what kind of bar THE COCK was, and Sam said it was dirty, filthy and gross - so then Michael asked Sam where he was headed, and Sam replied, of course, THE COCK.

Frank, who is also visiting, eluded to some sort of natural lubricant from a rather well endowed stripper who was VERY HOT - boy, oh boy, they had a good time.

Tommy discovered a bookstore yesterday - I was in attendance as well. Tommy and I got free drinks at the Rawhide because we were fun. We also, somehow, manage to elicit free stuff from strangers. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

And might I just add, that Sammy - he is a lovely and kind and giving person - this is the first time we have spent time together in this close of quarters - and he sure does know how to have fun. XXX OOO to Sam.

On another note, I find that certain persons are full of rules and regulations, but - let's just say, “ADD” is the rule, rather than the exception of the day. Let's ride bikes!

More on personality disorders later - luckily, I met a psychologist last night - and he turned out to be crazy too!

There is a strange sense of longing ... our director is out of the city for some Jewish bar thing and NO ONE will listen to me to send them to bed! Tommy is talking about some prostitute he wants us to pay for and Mike is working on the wigs. Misty and Jody, with an “Y” not an “I”, have been here for hours and surprisingly, both are still aware and not sloppy drunk! We need food and I will be damned if I am cooking for these people two nights in a row! I have had numerous cocktails while Charron and Brian enjoy Spamalot and Wanzie sees Drowsy Chaperone for the 13th time! The air is much cooler now. A 180º from yesterday! Tommy feels slighted for not having the phat king size bed for his room and instead having the queen blow up mattress. I had to explain that since I helped set up this place, I have “dibs”. Well, the boys still want food and since I am typing and no one can make a move without me, I must go to get food. Damn it Kenny! Get your ass back here! !

Well the dream for Misty, Jody and Karen to have a drink with the LADIES has come true.  The girls, the Real ones, were at the famous bar called PIECES
 
The girls, all of them, arrived at the condo @ 6 PM ... Kenny is not here so he made David in charge of being the wrangler ... Lets see how it goes, I said that we need Paula the real wrangler (Hi Paula, we are thinking of you!)
 
That’s all for now. Everyone is trying to plan dinner and get ready for an all-night binge.
 
That’s all from me now!

We got through or tech today with time left over!

The day started early and rainy! We got up at 7 and started lugging all the “stuff” down to the lobby while Wanzie rode is hover round down the elevator and into the lobby. The rain did not let up at all and followed us down to the theater. The theater is different from the P-Hhouse and there is a lot more stage to cover. The sound and light board are easily 30 feet apart and the only way to set up is to have my computer and mouse on the complete opposite side I am used to (I am left handed). Now contrary to popular belief, I am hardly the lighting or sound techie! The board for the lights was way intimidating. 100% computer controlled and I about peed my pants! The board however was dumbed-down, so much that I could not even cross fade. UGH! In any event, the tech went better then could be expected and the guys, even though they were just rehearsing without an audience, managed to pull off a great performance. It was a little odd seeing Tommy and Michael in a dress without wigs. We wrapped up the space and went out again into the rain. Starving as hell, we went on a quest for food! Sammy, Scott, Michael and I ended up in the “Corner Café Shop” where we had a FABULOUS meal! We also had a celebrity sighting! Anthony Rapp from RENT strolled in and shared a meal with a handsome man J! The Mac And Cheese was a huge it. TASTY! After lunch we grabbed a taxi and headed home. Wanzie was amused that the taxi had a TV in it. When we got back to the Condo, Sammy introduced us to xtube.com and the boy who uses his washer as a sex toy… See for yourself. It's horribly disturbing. Michael is in and out of sleep and only wakes when he thinks someone is taking his drink. Amazing…from snoring to wide-awake and aware in 1.3 seconds. Well, time to make a cocktail and enjoy a little downtime! Big day tomorrow!

Well, Kenny, Boom and I are wet, in a cab trying to get to the rental can place. David and the boys are getting loaded up for the load in at the lobby of the link. Well we are off again!

We are sitting in the living room at 3:28 PM waiting for Douglas to finally awake from his 15 hour sleep, so they can go over their lines, all the list minuet details, and a run through of the sound board. Thank goodness for the wireless internet as David and I worked most of the morning dealing with clients, talking with his assistant, and printing remotely in Orlando.

We had a nice visit from Jodi, Misty, Eddie, Karen, Monique, Tom and Katie. They are excited to me here, and for Misty and Jodi, this is their first visit to NYC, so Sammy so graciously took them on a tour of Times Square, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's, and then for a good lunch at a popular Deli.

Well, Kenny is now setting the rules and locking the door so NO ONE can leave. David is going to cook a fantastic meal for dinner tonight for all who are here, making sure that we have plenty of bread and cheese for Tommy.

That's all for now,

SCOTT!
