the big night

it was like christmas, but for theatre people in vancouver: the jessie awards night. we got together and primped over pizza on j & n's back deck. friends, family, lovers, former lovers, haters... they were all there.

i woke up on jessie day with a start. being part of the organizing board has demanded a high level of involvement in the balloting, voting and general communicating. the entire day seemed to be one giant stress factor. throw in personal problems and ka-boom: i wore my own shoulders as earrings that night.

but it all turned out well. we drank, we danced, we laughed and didn't cry. and in the end i learnt that awards don't matter -- until you get one. (first said by kevin spacey, a wise actorly type fella).
