Okay, we arrived in Seattle and stayed the first night with another couchsurfer -- really nice girl from Utah who might be moving to Portland to pursue Art Therapy. She is going to Europe first. We took her to a play at the Seattle Rep: MURDERERS by Jeffrey Hatcher. It was good--really funny. I was not expecting it to be good when it started--I thought there was a narrator thing happening, but it was a play with three really funny monologues. Great acting, Vanessa (our couch surfer) liked it. She said "I have to see more plays." So yay for us, for spreading the theatre bug.
But we realized the next morning that we could not rehearse or be prepared to audition if we stayed at her place: too small, no privacy. Couch surfing is great if you are on vacation, but we are not exactly doing that. It is great the crash at night, but we are working too. So we left the Capitol Hill area where she lived for a hotel close to the Seattle Center. Ah. I am basking in it.
