1) I've been squeeing for days over Okiayu-san's blog and all the pictures he's been posting from 100-Song Marathon. Also over the Set List and the fact that there /will/ be a DVD from the event.

2) I'm finally starting to get into the focused multi-tasking, fast-working stage of costume crunch. If only this could have hit me two weeks ago. >.>
I spent most of tonight and last night making bindings for the arm and hip openings of Kagetoki. I've got about a million pins in his coat right now, but once I sew all that down (by hand) the coat will be /done/. After what, three months? *rolls eyes* I got the shirt lining together enough to look at taking it in so that the shirt will fit right too, and tomorrow I have to cut and make the bias binding for the shirt. (2" strips->1" bias->1/2" Double fold)
I did not actually make progress on Saku tonight, but hopefully tomorrow should change that. I also need to do laundry and pack for California. My family seems to love interfering with my costuming for Detour. >.>

3) So I was ready to go to bed, feeling pretty ok and somewhat accomplished.
I sat down to check the internet and the following email was the top of my inbox:
ブロードウェイミュージカル『PIPPIN』~再演決定のお知らせ~

再演。
再び演じる。
再演。
さいえん。
Saien.
Second run.
I just stared at the word for about a minute. Then I flailed, then I nearly cried. In fact, I still might. The dates are 7/6-7/16. It's too soon, too expensive. But... hope springs eternal and all that. I'm not even really planning for it unless I win the lottery or something. Just... it's comforting in it's own strange way. We're back to no homepage, no cast info outside of Kime/Aiba and only the new email list for info. But... I'm on it anyway.

Right. Right. Sleep now. Seriously.

TeniMyu didn't get DVDs until the second run of the first Myu. >.> ohpleaseohpleaseohplease.

Had to leave work early because my hip hurt so much. The news I got when I got home however... was totally worth it. ^__^

Website for Pippin (on Nelke-Planning)
It's not any more info than Kime gave us... um... a while ago. But it's nice to have an official site up.
Except that there's another person listed on his own line in the cast list, one Papaya Suzuki (official site here)
He sounds like potential LP material to me... which is sad because I was really hoping to be right on my guess about Masa.

Tickets will apparently be avaliable from every source under the sun. Including Pia. This makes my life easier, assuming that Pia's security issues don't continue to keep me from logging in. (they are right now.)

Other Actor Info (in order of listing):
杏子 (Kyoko) Official Site" - She's a singer, primarily. Will be in ... Rock and Jam, I think? And has been releasing stuff since 1992. Whoo... maybe I can join /her/ fanclub. :P I'm betting Catherine.
鈴木蘭々 (Suzuki Lanlan) Official Site - another girl. Born 1975/8/4. TV Drama's and things since 1999. I'm thinking Fastrada for her.
石原慎一 (Ishihara Shinichi) Wikipedia Born 1960/5/26. Musical and acting experience of yes. Upon further consideration... Charlemagne anyone?
進藤学 (Shindou Gaku) Official Site 'Bane. He has nice arms.
中河内雅貴 (Nakagauchi Masataka) Official Site Niou. 'Nuff said.
中尾ミエ (Nakao Mie) Official Site/Wikipedia Born 1946/6/6. Gee... I wonder. Yeah. Pretty obvious she'll be Berthe. ^__^

The problem with having gone through these roles is that I am left with Lewis and Theo ... I've been assuming all along that Gaku would be Lewis or Charlemagne, so I want to peg him there. Also I don't think Gaku /could/ play a child... which means that either Masa is going to play the chibi (unlikely) or he's chorus.
