"Filming" Blog

          Hello, I hope you're having a nice day. The picture might make sense if you read the paragraphs.

          So this weekend, we were supposed to film. But sadly, again, we weren't able to. I had full intentions of filming Sunday, but he ended up not being able to come. So here's what I did instead, I guess. My weekend was pretty chaotic. Well, Saturday was, Sunday not so much. I spent Friday and half of Saturday mentally, physically, and emotionally getting ready for the best night of my life. You may ask, Taylor, Why was Saturday night so special? Well, I witnessed something fantastic. I went and saw the mean girls performance at the Broward center of performing arts!! I'll start from the beginning. It was a nice, Friday night. My mother and I were at Target to get prepared for this marvelous event. So there we stood, in the mens section with the nice collard shirts. My mother and I were debating on weather I should get the shirt with lobster, birds, lizards, or cacti on it. I got the one with the cacti, It's a nice pink shirt with little green cacti on it, What a good time. We then went to Chili's where we got our food for that night. I'll say this, Chili's mashed potatoes are the best thing to ever exist and you can not change my mind. Anyway, I woke up Sunday morning, my stomach was aching with excitement, or it was because I hadn't eaten anything since 8:00 p.m. the previous day and stayed up until 2:00 a.m. Unimportant. My mother came to me later that morning with a suggestion, she said we should go to wawa (a very nice gas station you can get milkshakes from) and scope out food places near the performing arts center. So that's what we did.

          Fast forward to that night. I was sitting at some taco place down the street from the center with my mother. The food wasn't that good, but it's fine. The event started at 8:00 p.m. and it was still 7:00 p.m. so we walked around to kill time. Later, we went inside to get situated and find our seats. We got metal detected as we walked in the door and there we were. We found the merchandise booth where I bought a pack of 6 pins for 15 dollars. We then made it up the stairs. I don't remember where we were sitting, but we had a pretty good view. We were up and right, and we had a pretty good view of the stage. Also, We got playbills, that's really cool. Then, the musical started after a while of sitting there. I was anxious the whole time with the thought "wow this is the best night of my life" and the disappointing part is that I don't remember a lot of the performances. I was very happy with seeing this musical, I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. The one thing that wasn't so nice was that the song "It Roars" was almost entirely changed, but that's fine. I went on instagram later that night and saw that Barrett Wilbert Weed was departing from the (I'm pretty sure) New York mean girls cast which was saddening. She's one of my favorite Broadway actresses, and played one of my favorite musical characters. But she's moving on to do better things, so I'm happy for her. The picture above are the characters, Cady, Janis, and Damian from the mean girls musical cast. Fun Fact, all three have departed as of right now.
