not me rising from the dead… anyways

so my school is making the junior version of the musical FAME, right, and I got appointed senior assistant producer long story short I ended up as an “unofficial” (?…idek) senior head producer cause I did my job real well. the thing about all this is that I’m flunking like three classes and I’m in the middle of my term exams but also producing the school play, being assistant director, studying and fighting with my parents; cause you know the failing classes. fun times!my dad is now threatening me to take me out of the school play if I don’t get mu grades up.

now… wanna hear what’s actually funny?

I’m applying to study a career in screenwriting and producing…like of fucking course I’m not gonna care about the sciences.

this song is from the musical and it’s literally my inner turmoil + if you guys haven’t heard of the musical go search it up is so goooood.

Early programs: Fame at North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly Massachusetts in May 2005 and The Sound of Music tour. From Cayla Elizabeth on Facebook and ktriggerduffert on Threads. Matt Schreiber was involved with casting at North Shore Music Theatre.

The full cast of Fame (and all bios) is available here and the Playbill cover is below:

I took a survey when I left the Country Music Hall of Fame that asked me about "artifacts" in the collection, which isn't wrong but did crack me up as a term to use, so here are two of my favorite weird artifacts:

The photo of the front seat of the car is just so unhinged. I'm going to do the description of it here because I want to make sure you guys notice that this is a white open-top car with front hybrid bench-bucket seats upholstered in leather, but that is where the normalcy ends. The door handles on both outside and inside are made of SIX SHOOTERS with mother-of-pearl grips, the sun shades are embossed leather flaps like cowboy boots might look if you flattened them, and between the two front seats where the gearshift normally goes is a large saddle covered in silver dollars. The horn of the western-style saddle might be the gearshift, it's tough to say. According to a placard nearby, this is the Nudie Mobile, so called because it was customized by "Nudie's Rodeo Tailors" which did a lot of early costume design for country performers.

This image looks more normal but I promise you it is not.

This is a Gibson F-5 mandolin, billed in the placard as the most famous mandolin in American music history, which seems like a low bar to clear, but I'm not a mandolin aficionado. Again, for an image ID, it is an extremely worn-looking eight-string instrument, a fairly standard modern mandolin. It has a number of bare patches and scratches on the soundboard. Wanna know why?

It's because this famous mandolin belonged to Bill Monroe, who bought it from a barbershop (how a Gibson made by Lloyd Loar got into a barbershop is a mystery) in the 40s. He played it for decades until 1985, when an intruder broke in and beat the mandolin to pieces with a fireplace poker. So what you're seeing in that image is the original Gibson -- reassembled from about 150 splintered pieces by Gibson company. Monroe kept playing it, including in recordings, until he died in 1996.

I have to say, I spent maybe five, ten minutes standing in front of it, leaning this way and that, looking like an idiot I'm sure as I tried to detect seams and cracks where it was reassembled, and whoever at Gibson put this back together did a spectacular job. For all it looks kicked to shit in this picture, it looks fantastic in person.

“Don’t kill yourself you have to outlive panic! at the disco” is old. It’s tired. P!ATD literally broke up this morning. “Don’t kill yourself you have to outlive MCR again” is new. Fresh. They’re definitely vampires but you can give it your best shot
