Soulforce

Last night I finally got to meet Mel White, founder of Soulforce! I met him at a fundraising event at BED (a fabulous club that is lined with canopied beds a la Miami South Beach). I was the auctioneer at the event where I sold "dates." It was my first time doing this. We had 11 guys that we auctioned off with tickets to shows. I got $750 for one guy. It was all in good fun and taste. We raised $2,600! The woman I sublet for, Lorna Kelly, was Southeby's first female auctioneer. She gave me lots of pointers and they all worked. Lorna is so extraordinary. She does tons of charity auctions and goes to India frequently to work with the poor. It has been such a blessing staying at her apartment during the run of the show. She is good friends with my friend, writer Andrew Harvey, who lives in the same building.

I've been adjusting to not doing the show. I'm feeling a bit more tired in the mornings than usual. Either I'm pregnant, or my body is finally saying I need to stop going at the furious pace these last 5 months have required.

The weather is so gorgeous. I find myself taking extra time to walk outside, especially near Central Park.

Gonna finally see some theatre now that my show has closed. Off to see the revival of Sweeney Todd tonight with BJ. (Hi, BJ!)
