BOSTON - THE WANG

March 29, 2008 - I guess I shold have known... This evening my family made a certain performance at The Wang Center an unforgetable evening. 15 minutes before curtain my stage manager came to me asking how many people I had in the audience.... I said about 80. He continued to tell me that the ushers were collecting signs and such from a group of people all with stickers on their chests that read "Matt David Fan Club". The evening was amazing. I have the most wonderful family a guy could ask for. After some of the cast members met some family members, they quickly realized where I get my "character" from. Take a look at the pictures below. The pictures explain everything. Also, in Boston, I was able to see my good friend Casey and her baby Issy (pic below) and Dan and Rob my bestest friends came up from NY for the weekend. The last few pictures are of backstage... to give everyone a feel of what it looks like back there... then of course the very last picture is of the bows.

Thank you so much to my friends and family for believing in my dream. It is a tough one, but it is exactly where I want to be. Love you all.

WASHINGTON AND UPDATE

March 2008 - Sorry to all that I have not been around for a while. I am not really a picture taking person so I have had no pictures to post. Sunny's mom, Gloria, was wondering the other day why I have not ... so this one is for you Gloria. Happy reading!

Things are well here. I am in the airport right now waiting for our flight from Charlotte, NC to Philly. This weekend my good friends Joe, Kate, Dunc, Mer and Chis are coming to see me. I am so excited. THis is really a project to be proud about. Mer and Dunc are bringing their newborn, Eileen!


Next week is going to be the week I have been looking for since day one. Boston! The Wang Center. I used to see shows are the Wang as a child and hope to someday play that house. Here it is about to happen. Expect many pictures! Ma and Pa are bring about 65 people and to the Saturday evening show. They have even chartered a bus! It is probably going to be the best night of my life. Something I have waited for for so long!!!!

While we were in DC, I did not see too many of the sites, as I have seen them all before. What I did do is treck deep into the backstreets of Georgetown to find the steps that were in the movie The Exorcist. Remember the part in the movie where the girl throws the priest out the window - falling to his death? Below are the pictures of the steps. When others were out seeing The Lincoln Memorial, I was off finding these stairs.... random I know.

We did get to see the White House many times as it was on the way to the theater. Some of us even got to see our asshole president. Notice I did not capitalized the word president.

I was able to see some family when I was there. Caught up with Auntie nan and her new grandchildren. They are so cute. Was able to see Kris and Val too!

Things are just wonderful. Looking forward to being back in the city for the summer to have fun, hit the gym, hit the dance classes, have a few margiritas at Blockheads and look for my next job.... hopefully on Broadway!

Oh, there was a nice write up about me in the Worcester T&G... take a look... love you all.... matt
