man it was an incredible night.

I haven’t been back to Victory since I started at Microsoft, not for more than a few minutes. it was so great to see everyone. I really missed Nolan in particular, and he was practically dancing over my arrival.

and the stage – GOD, the stage!  it used to be rugs and a platform. now it looks like this:

the two bands were actually really great. one was rock, the other was (I kid you not) funk. by the end of it half the audience was actually dancing.

I kept digging my nails into my palms whenever I wasn’t live-tweeting. the shots looked so good. Nolan was in his element. cut cut fade two go two four go four one go one two go two and so on.

there’s nothing like the energy on set.

afterwards, I walked out of the control room into Jake’s arms and cried a little as he kissed me on the forehead and said, “only took me 31 months, darlin’.”

he promised me when we met that he’d help me fulfill my dream of being part of a TV show.

well.

I’m still glowing.
