Mr. & Mrs. La Salle

Mr. & Mrs. La Salle was held tonight. My thoughts:

• All of the contestants rocked. People went through with their stuff, no problems this year. The crowd was very supportive, encouraging everyone...A little disappointing though, that they kept cheering for people who weren't up there at the time


• Veitz was fantastic. Better than I expected from the rehearsal. He wore the shirt, "IMPERATO ROCKS," which got some laughs, and the audience seemed to know him well. 2nd Runner Up - well deserved. The song, "Cry me a River" by Justin Timberlake, was well chosen and well sung.


• Alice was incredible. Her song was wonderful, perhaps a bit too truthful. She won 2nd Runner Up, although why she wasn't crowned "Mrs. La Salle" is a mystery. She was the best female candidate in my opinion, and had great crowd support.


• Manor staff did an incredible job hosting/organizing.


• Graham was hilarious, singing an acoustic "No Scrubs" on guitar, and actually rapping the middle section...the crowd was UNITED IN SONG by the end, with him. Incredible


• Joe was decent, breaking into Footloose for his intro, and "Lean on Me" for his talent - a nice a capella version, well performed.


• The La Salle Step Team kicked total ass! They were fantastic, probably my favorite highlight outside of the competition


• OLAS was great with their dance routine too! So talented.

Other than that today was spent in the theater working on "And Then There Were None." We were able to strip all the Footloose crap off the pipes and rehang first electric, and set up some systems for the catwalks too. It was a damn good 4 hours spent in the theater - we're ahead of the game, further than I've ever felt by this point in the past. There are still INCREDIBLE hurdles ahead, but some of it is at least taken care of.

After the pageant, we did a Wawa run - we being Ali, Katie - Ali's friend, Jess, Graham, and Britany. It was fun fitting all of us into my car - Britnay on Graham's lap in the front seat, almost hanging out the window! We made it there and back safely, though, and watched Aladdin in Ali's townhouse. I still can remember every lyric to the entire movie, and wound up singing along with everyone...a really nice ending to the night!

So tomorrow brings duty, and homework, and maybe some shopping. Its been a fantastic weekend!

UPDATE!

Just found this: Charlotte's Web 2

IS NOTHING SACRED?

From the site -

"We are returned to the pastoral Arable farm where Wilbur the pig, Charlotte the spider and all of their barnyard friends enjoyed adventures together in E.B. White’s classic children’s tale. This time we are introduced to ‘Cardigan’ the lamb and Charlotte’s three daughters as our pals learn more about the value of friendship. Since this is the first sequel to the classic original, there may be some extra demand for the curious, and those wanting to get more of Wilber & Co. Parents will likely be pleased as punch as well to find a title they can trust to be a wholesome babysitter. "

How can Charlotte come back? It was a major fricking plot point in the original, one of those learning experiences you're supposed to have about death through books and movies and stuff...lilke "Old Yeller" and Bambi.

E.B. White is probably rolling over in his grave.
