An Elephant Tranquilizer and I am Still Awake

Dan and I are gearing up for "The 7-Year B*tch," our new show - well, kinda new. It's billed as "an anniversary concert of two never-was has-beens," and it's playing at the NY Musical Theatre Festival on Monday, October 1. We are in it. It's a revue of our stuff and kindofa "tell-all" about our experiences with Like You Like It and the theatre career for the last seven years. Becca Ayers, David Perlman, Amy Rutberg and Joanna Young have been doing a great job in rehearsals. James Donegan, who was also in the cast, was cast in Forbidden Broadway, so we replaced him a few days ago with Nick Dothée.

The show is sold out. Things are going well.

But for some reason I cannot sleep.

So I took some "helpers." In the meantime, I updated sammybuck.com, and in October — close to the anniversary of going to Cardiff (and the birth of my work-wife Kelly's daughter Lillian - my workdaughter, perhaps) — there will finally be video footage on likeyoulikeit.com from the TUTS/SHSU production. There will also be new pictures frm teh production. Already there are many of the castmembers' pictures floating around facebook.

AND We will post our wacky '80s-style music video of "Be a Little Wild."

We have a big meeting tomorrow about a future prospect for Like You Like It, so keep fingers crossed.

In other news, I still can't sleep.
