He wasn't exactly trying to act like they were friends, but he was being friendly. Connor was by nature a bit of a friendly guy, he didn't really like being anything other. Though he guessed it didn't matter much if someone thought so, because maybe at some point some of those people would become friends or already were....

He only had a few more things to find before his grocery trip was done, but running into people hadn't been what he had gone for in the first place... but it was what it was.

That was beside the fact though and he didn't pay it any mind. Setting the drink into the cart, Connor looked up again at the man. "I don't think we really were," he said before nodding and speaking once more. "I'm Connor. Gabby's husband." he said, as though it would make any difference.

Why was here at Target? Well these lovely high powered, soccer mom types well they needed pick me ups with everything that they did. And well apparently Target was the place to meet at. Which was fine and if the police asked him, he could just say he was doing something shopping or something. It was crazy that he already had clients even after being here for a month or so. Target was in fact an interesting store though from what he had seen so far, not exactly his cup of tea more like middle age white people stuff. But he also found it funny.

After he was finished doing some business, that was when he heard the other male's voice. Glancing over at him, he recognized him as Gabriella Lopez's husband. Of course he knew of everyone that was in the Lopez family, considering the business that he had with them. Well with Diego and Camila anyways. So naturally he had looked into every family member because Diego and Camila owed him a lot of money. "Hey, I don't think we were properly introduced when we bumped into each other at Taco's N Stuff. I'm Javier, and you are?" That was the last time he had seen this man and he was acting like they were friends? This was going to be interesting.

Hamilton Stage Door: April 2017

Average amount at stage door: 6.23

Min: 2

Max: 11

Median: 6

Mode: 5

Stagedoored the most: Lauren Boyd/James Monroe Iglehart Note: James has the best consistency, but he started half way through the month so technically didn’t stagedoor the most. However, he has a 83.3% rate of stagedooring while Lauren, who technically stagedoored the most number of times this month, only has a rate of 75%.

Stagedoored the least (excluding 0): David Guzman, Elizabeth Judd (Hope Easterbrook and Jon Rua both had only one or two shows in April, so I’m not counting them)

Observations: 

Holy cannoli stage door has been incredible this past month! Averages have been the highest I’ve ever seen them, and there were a couple records this month. We had two stage doors where eleven people came out, whereas previously the highest I had seen was nine. This could easily be attributed to three things:

1) Nicer weather

This is pretty self explanatory - now that the weather has been warmer, more people are willing to spend time outside stagedooring. This has been especially true for Rickey Tripp and Lexi Lawson, both of whom have explicitly said they tend to only stage door when the weather is warm enough.

2) Several cast member changes

Cast member changes can been seen below, but as cast members leave, they tend to stagedoor a bit more leading up to their last show. Additionally, new cast members are more likely to stagedoor early in their run. James in particular is incredibly consistent at stage door, as he was while in Aladdin. That’s just his personality. He loves interacting with fans, so he makes the effort.

3) Cast member injuries & vacations

Javier has sadly been out the past couple weeks, causing Jevon and Donald to go on more in his place, and thus increasing their appearance at stage door. Other cast members, such as Brandon and Mandy, have taken long vacations, causing Nik, Treco, Syndee, and Elizabeth to go on instead, and again increasing their appearance at stage door. Additionally, other cast members have been randomly hurt/sick/on vacation, causing swings to be on much more than usual.

Lauren and Anthony both are frequent at stagedoor, with James closely behind literally only because he started halfway through the month. I predict he will become the most frequent at stage door, easily outpacing Lauren. 

Special Days:

Please check the April 2017 Masterlist for all special days that may have affected stage door, including days I may not have been able to stage door.

Walls with integrated furniture and yellow nooks encourage play in Madrid school

Children can nestle into yellow alcoves and pull wooden furniture out of the walls at this school in Madrid by Rica Studio, which uses play to teach the English language.

Local architects Rica Studio designed the two-storey Madrid flagship of the English for Fun linguistic school, aiming to booster the schoolchildren's creativity, imaginations and stimulate all five senses.

The centre uses the Reggio Emilia approach to teaching children a foreign language, a method that combines self-guided play, visual learning and the built environment.

Rather than using thin partitions to line the hallway that runs through the centre of the school with classrooms on either side, the architects designed thick inhabitable walls.

A folded steel plate painted yellow provides the structure for the wall. It outlines large nooks with glass barriers that children can clamber into and peer into the classrooms.

Modular trays made of light beech wood that slot above and below the framework are used for storing and exhibiting the children's work, like a cabinet of curiosities, and are open to both the classroom and the corridor.

Photographer and filmmaker Miguel de Guzmán created a movie of the project, using stop and start motion to highlight these features. It captures children playing ball games between openings in the walls and riding scooters along the corridor.

"The goal was to create a space in the spirit of the adventure playgrounds where the play-objects, not toys, only develop their full potential in the interaction with the kids," said the architects.

"The answer was to propose a tinker tray, where all the objects involved in the play and learning process could be stored, the work produced exhibited, and where the kids could also feel that they are part of it," they added.

The architects also established a generic module for the furniture so that chairs, tables and cabinets also slot into the wall when not in use, making rearranging the classroom layout easier.

On the ground floor, two large classrooms are set on either sides of the entrance hall and stairwell.

Yellow panelling covers the back walls of the classrooms, housing the sinks and toilets, while curtains can be used to temporarily partition the space.

Madrid-based Miguel de Guzmán has created a series of unusual architectural movies with his studio Imagen Subliminal, which he runs in partnership with Rocío Romero.

Others include a sci-fi photoshoot for half-sunken house in Madrid, a horror movie set in kiosks of a temporary street market and a day-in-the-life film that follows the resident of an apartment with moving walls and secret furniture.

The English for Fun school is among a number of schools that architects have designed to engage children with learning. Others include a kindergarten that uses slides and climbing frames to connect brightly coloured playrooms and another designed as a large set of steps.
