Though you can still call me Lexi Kahn, I'm pulling a Cougar/Mellencamp move and re-identifying. My name is Michelle. I live in Boston, by way of New York, by way of a tiny town in Connecticut. I live with Joe. We're DINKS (dual income, no kids). It's a miracle I have made it to my thirties. Thirties! I am SO a Gen X'er -- go ahead, ask me about the 80s. I love good books, good movies, divine food, leisurely travel, smart comedy and, especially, music. For 11 years ('97 to '08) I was a regular in the local Boston rock scene using the name Lexi Kahn (Google me!) but quit the whole thing to pursue other interests. What those are...is probably what this diary will be about from 2008 forward.
So keep reading! You never know what'll happen.
When a lighting design guy utters anything remotely like this, especially when holding his forehead and gazing upwards at the low ceiling, from which are hanging some modest lights clearly hung by someone who's never lit a show, you KNOW it's going to be...uh...interesting.
Definitely come see Hedwig and the Angry Inch if you're anywhere near Boston. October 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, 26, 31.
I'll be in the light booth, fiddling with knobs and praying to the great theatre god. No, not Dionysus. Duct Tapeycus. (Theatre people know what I'm talkin' about)
