we'll be enchanted

April 1 was the four-year anniversary of the first rehearsal of YPC. Chris, Dom, Leon, Lance and I were RIDICULOUS. VERY filling brunch at Manatus, canary incidents at the pier, where the overcast whether only added to the fun, then hot chocolate at the Factory and the trudge to 42nd. It was a nice reminder of the ties I still hold on to from the past, and the support I have to take with me in the future.

Lots of stuff going on. Finding my place as a lyricist, finding my place in the Chorus, finding my place in the world... finding boundaries is becoming more and more important.

to shore

It's AMAZING outside.

I hate midtown, by the by, but I always get a kind of kick walking around and watching people who are clearly tourists discover the city. MY city. Most especially in the spring.

Steve sent me the Lovers In Disguise demo. V. v. exciting.

I'm wearing too many layers today.

Friday!

Trying to decide between Grey Gardens and Moon for the Misbegotten for tonight. (Whatever I don't see tonight, I'm sure I"ll see tomorrow.) Also having drinks with R, which promises to be fun.

YPC brunch on Sunday -- it'll be VERY nice to see Ruecian. I *think* I'm performing Triple Threat on Sunday night, but we shall see. (*wishes Steve were HERE*)

After months & months of everything changing ALL the time, it's nice to have stasis, for now.

Of course, once the MD decision comes down, there are other decisions to make.

Testing, testing, 1-2-3

(Could I be any more cliche? Testing?)

Let's start this blog off with a little whoring-out for charity. (Link goes to my AIDSWALKNY Headquarters).

If you're just finding me, hi.

My name is Amy Lynn... well, I'm not sure what last name I'm using professionally right now. How's that for an auspicious beginning? (I hate my last name.)

I'm 27. I live in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York. I'm a lyricist (with a day job, too.) I sing Tenor 1 with the New York City Gay Men's Chorus. I've been an associate member since 2000, and just began singing this past winter. We are directed by the fabulous Casey J. Hayes.

I'm also a founding member of the Youth Pride Chorus, which is celebrating its fourth anniversary this weekend.

I'm a theatre whore. Current favorites include Grey Gardens, Les Miserables, Lestat, Journey's End and the perennial favorite, Gypsy.

So, here we go.
