yes, yes

Just a quick note to add on to Mike's wonderful post:

The dinner party at Ed's place was fantastic. I think it's the first time the four of us have been alone together without any appointments or assignments. And it was easy to see what a great boon resource these friendships are going to be during the next chapter of our careers, and beyond! I was able to bring up a particular stumbling block I've been hitting in my rehearsal process lately, and I had three amazing listeners who actually knew first-hand what I was talking about and could answer me thoroughly, personally, and with no BS or judgment. That, for a director, is really rare and priceless. And the e-mail flurry continues -- sending scripts, casting ideas, and ticket discounts back and forth, as though we've known and worked together for years -- I love it!
