All Good Things...

We knew this time would come and this shall be my last post for Little Women.
There are too many people to thank and too many good memories to possibly remember them all so I'm going to leave some pix of the final performance and the closing party.

ATTN: I UPDATED WITH SOME NEW PHOTOS

This is the trio that gathered stage left before every performance. Nuthin but trouble, I promise you.

Maureen, Doug Kinsley (Company Manager, and a great guy BTW) and myself.

Tony Garcia (automation) and Matty Rocha (sound). About 50 tattoos between them.

Minarick and Varian (carpenter) finally not holding back their feelings.

Patty, Susan, Me, and Minarik. If you look between Susan and myself, you can see the incredible jealousy on Varian's face.

The angelic Brenda Anderson (wardrobe) whom Susan found as delightful as she found her indispensable. If you were playing Jo, she was your best friend. She gave you "a pretty bow".

Coolin'.

No one can coax sweet, sweet music out of Mr. Laurence's piano like Stephen Patterson.

The last Days of Plenty. I am not kidding when I say the wings were full of people weeping.

The Final Company Bow.

The final tableau had Cary Michelle bring Oscar to me.

As soon as the curtain came in we all posed for a casual cast photo. What a mixture of sadness and exhilaration it was. Glad we made it, but sad that it was over.

Afterwards, we gathered in the stage management office and had a champagne toast and a small goodbye song from Maureen that left everyone with tears in their eyes.

Thanks to all of you that stayed with me here on the blog, you all are the reason that I felt I had to keep this going. Your "gentle prodding" made me realize that this show touched many people and that fact is nothing to take for granted.

Thanks for clicking in. Be well.

Thanks for sharing a little slice of the LW tour life with us! I'm sure we'll be seeing you (and the rest of the crew) again in something else.

Much Love-

Eva

Hey, Mr Pirate King:

It is my contention that Jack Sparrow could never manage a Gilbert and Sullivan patter song. But you are now the expert, so what is your opinion in the matter?

And is a Valjean/Pirate King/Jack Sparrow better than an Enjolras/Pirate King/Jack Sparrow?

Thanks so much for the pictures. I loved the show when it came through my town and I have enjoyed reading your blog throughout. I wish you the best in the future!

ifuckgod.com coming (80,000 charecters)

They punished the hedonism of the 60s and 70s by introducing AIDS:::::They pushed Africans into being promiscuous and now punish them with AIDS (it would have been used before the end of the 20th century but the gods needed/wanted to justify the existance of the virus (wild profits in this industry was "the rope", temptation for the disfavored investor who incurred evil which limited their time). Perhaps it is an open door for fools like me who would dare test their positioning this close to The End, resulting in yet another bio-tech poison-induced corporate killing.)
They peak the disfavored euphporically, make them homosexual then punish them with AIDS. They don't give a fuck. They love to be vindictive and malicious. Be god-fearing.

The gods employ the use of "ringers" to disceive the disfavored:::
A significant portion of the patients in any health care setting (numbers based on region) are the favored (clones) who were told to report non-existant symptoms FOR POSITIONING'S SAKE!!! When they use examples expect they are trying to disceive you with this "ringer" tactic.

The first steps towards repairing your relationship with the gods is to:::::::::
1. Understand they instruct the computer to "role play" in an attempt to confuse you:::it's ALWAYS the computer addressing you. Their goal is to cost you additional YEARS of your life by using this tactic to confuse you. Always be aware of this tactic and eventually they will give up and allow this step to be taken.
2. Differentiate between your thoughts and when they are thinking through you.
3. Be resigned to be a good person who will never engage in evil again even if asked and they will eventually stop trying to corrupt you, allowing this very big step to be taken.
4. Decide that you are going to follow the path, fix your relationship with the gods be devoted to your new life.

Anything that emerged since the advent of television and "fast food" should be be distrusted by the disfavored and viewed as tools of the gods designed to attack us.
They gods (Counsel/Management Team/ruling species) have deteriorated life on earth precipitously in the last 40 years, from a godless society to abortion to pornography, widespread drug use and widespread casual (gay) sex, bi-racial children, single-parent households, latchkey kids and the masculinization of women (and hence (full) women's prisons, participatory sports, etc. Up until the past four decades it was the men who filled the prisons, the men who made trouble, the men who caused problems, and it's because theirs is the gender with disfavor. Too many men still sign on to the "good 'ole boy's club" paternalistic type of mentality, an archaic dumping ground now designated for the grossly disfavored, and it is used to compel them to feel superior to women when just the opposite is true.)
Women are favored, are the element of decency, and as they become more like the men the society becomes more disfavored, goes downhill, as we are witnessing.
There was a time, not so long ago, when no self-respecting woman would EVER set foot in a bar or a gambling hall. The only women who were in those type of establishments were of questionable morals, and there were far fewer of them than there are today.
Tabloids offer details on celebrities lives. Celebrities are ALL clones. In fact they utilize multiple clones for important events (noteworthy movies, spotlight sporting events, etc.)
Every one of them are clones, and all these incidents reported in the tabloids are staged::The gods tell these clone celebrities to commit their offense and offer it as temptation to the public. Tabloids are tagetted specifically to women, and the gods offer this for a reason:::because it hurts women, and they incurr evil because they are enjoying the misery of others.

Decent women don't engage in these pursuits. 12/21 15:17:40
Beer is a corruptor and a dumping ground 4 men 12/21 15:09:19
professional sports, video games, car racing/fixing up cars, pornography, drinking, gambling, etc.
Decent women don't engage in these pursuits.
In the last 40-50 years the gods have engaged in a process which masculinized women, including casual sex, partying, partifcipatory sports and women's prisons.

The Biblical account of Noah's flood was regional to the disfavored Mediterrean (water levels lowered because of the ice age, land bridge at Straight of Gibralter "broke" through, habitation ocurred at seaside. Of course the gods desire maximum effect during these events so expect that they beemed in trillions of gallons into the Mediterreanean basin to enhance this event, especially in the east where effect would have been lessened.), peoples whom the gods scapegoatted when they pushed them into the evil that justified the flood, behavior similar to that which we are witnessing today. Because they have leveled the playing field for all people (purebloods and mongrels) in the decades prior to the 21st century is a clue they will end globally this time (westernization, materialism, immigration/interracial, homosexual, access to disturbing media, desensitization, indecency, etc).

So much of this mind poisoning social "progressiveness" was initiated in California. In a couple of decades it pervaded east into the heartland::::::Gay acceptance/marriage, bi-racial acceptance, casual drug use/sex, popularized with cable TV, etc. So many things weren't present in the heartland decades ago, things that cable TV introduced.
Because they are favored. Contrary to appearances, contrary to popular perception their favor got them extra time. In California the gods hurt the disfavored with this abuse right off the bat.
California is a favored land. It is the land of the gods, a fruitful bounty, and when the disfavored invade, as they did during the gold rush, the gods strike back.
The gods pushed the 49ers into coming, told others, for only the disfavored are misled this way.
Eventually they scapegoatted these disfavored's descendants when the gods exported their wicked, sick sub-cultures to the rest of the nation. One day they will punish these descendants.
California subducts first. And those who have gone will get less time.
Expect similar reverse positioning in the Jesus issue.
This is typical of the positioning of the gods. They LOVE ironic theater such as this.
It's crucial that you begin to think correctly.
There is no such thing as a Christian god and there never was. Be god-fearing.

Oakland is the final 20th century professional sports-based bastion of institutionalized racism in California.
Oakland is the last city in California which has a major sports complex on the edge of the ghetto. Staples Center replaced the LAForum in Inglewood and PacBellPark replaced Candlestick in BayView/Hunter'sPoint. California is favored and the gods instructed these facilities be constructed to prey on disfavored blacks.
Homeless toddlers running around shelter in racist Oakland.

The gods use the United States to hurt the disfavored, at home and abroad, for it is the goal of redwhite&blue:::
20th century welfare hurt the black community very, very badly. There was too many abuses of the system and its legacy is still felt today.
There will come a time that will be a CRUCIAL moment in the history of black america (whether it is a critical time for everybody remains to be seen). When that era arrives the gods will instruct the United States to pay black people reparations, and it may be as much as a million dollars for every man, woman and child.
Refuse it. This is an act of preditation. The gods hate Africans, evident by the sorry state of the people in the United States and back in the motherland. This may ba a choice between going and the money. Understand how the gods use greed and materialism against you (clues:::80s greedy environment, late 90s increase in NYSE):::::Blacks wallow in materialism, incurring evil and costing themselves time. And when their time DOES come they will be granted reparations immediately prior, further limiting the number of Africans who ascend.
The day IS coming when they will grant reparations, and the amount will be staggering, another tactic to ensure you fail in the quest to ascend into heaven. And many of the disfavored blacks will blow it all; the gods will push them into spending it friviously or losing it in their casinos.

We may all be "clones" for they have suggested they colonized our planet with genetically engineered individuals. Geographic clues like Italy and Lake Michigan suggest artificiality.
Is Earth an evolved source planet or a created host planet? Was life and our Planet Earth really created in 6 days? Never doubt their power or ability::::::::They shared with me a story when they presented Pharrohs with mountains of gold, much to their amazement. This is the kind of ironic theater they enjoy, an example of unique favors they grant to the special and worthless value of what we deem precious.
You can't trust their scientists or any of their people in professional roles. Just as they beemed earth out to create the Lake Michigan basin so could they have beemed in fossils and told them to dig in a specific place. (This issue was a step contributing to society's breakdown into godlessness.)

There are many ways they can play this, for the door is open. I suspect the script is written, but the following is one idea they floated to me a couple of years ago::::
They may one day send the message, creating desperation:::
Have their redwhite&blue (favored) clones shut down their corporations, stop their economic activity, be it farming, canning, power production, etc. and close up shop.
This would leave the few disfavored companies (Atlanta) to fulfill the demand, unless they instruct them to pull out as well.
They ARE all clones.
They suggested they'd beem out all animals, be it livestock, etc., ensuring a heightened level of desperation. The resulting chaos would likley initiate the Apocalypse.
People shouldn’t be doing business with the favored.
(Atlanta is a very disfavored city and the gods instructed disfavored companies to locate there; Braves greatness of last 20 YEARS!!!! preditory on this very disfavored city (baseball is a tool of the gods used to prey on the disfavored).
They threatened they would maintain a hurricane at category 5 even as far inland as Atlanta to destroy the city for the second time.)
