#Illinois album

This is what it’s like inside the mind of a gay person

Video description - A clip from the live performance of Jacksonville from Illinoise: A New Musical. A whole ensemble is dancing on stage to a band’s music. You didn’t notice them sneak up because of the expert stage direction and choreography they practiced!! You’re suddenly surrounded by music and a huge group rocking the fuck out to indie music from the early two thousands, but the lyrics are referencing events from hundreds of years ago. It’s one of the signs from the writer that places the story in a contemporary context. Suddenly you realize music is timeless and so on…

From a few days ago - Homestar's trip to Chicago! I brought him along to the windy city to see the TMBG concert there! It was an awesome time (except for the fact that everywhere we wanted to go was closed except Jolibees. Lol)

Oh and here's a video of my terrible Homestar impression

This video + a lot of these photos were taken by my brother so shout out to him!

Illinoise (the ballet/musical based on Sufjan Stevens' album Illinois) is eying a move to Broadway after its current NY run in Armory Park ends and im just imagining it taking off among the bway Fandom because 1 it's fucking amazing 2 it's gay and sad and will make you cry (but doesn't bury its gays) 3 the characters are broad enough that fanon can do literally whatever it wants with them

But then we'd have a whole Fandom obsessed with esoteric Illinois history which would be so fucking funny.

And in my best behavior

I am really just like him

Look beneath the floor boards

For the secrets I have hid

I was hypnotized, I was asked to improvise On the attitude, the regret Of a thousand centuries of death

-Sufjan Stevens, "Come On! Feel the Illinois!" off Illinois

You came to take us

All things go, all things go

To recreate us

All things grow, all things grow

We had our mindset

All things know, all things know

You had to find it

All things go, all things go

The sound of the engines and the smell of the grain We go riding on the abolition grain train Stephen A. Douglas was a great debater But Abraham Lincoln was the great emancipator...

Denominator, go Decatur, go Decatur (It's the great I Am) Abominate her, go Decatur, why did we hate her? (It's the great I Am) Denominator, go Decatur, anticipate her (It's the great I Am) Appreciate her, appreciate her Stand up and thank her Stand up and thank her (It's the great I Am) Stand up and thank her (It's the great I Am) Stand up and thank her (It's the great I Am) Stand up and thank her

God, seeing the Illinoise ballet just added a whole extra layer to "listening to Sufjan Stevens and having feelings."

(it's moving to NY in March, FYI)
