And on the 7th day, Edna rested...

Whew! The concert is over, and it was a great success. Some flaws here and there, but overall it was very good and the audience was very appreciative. My glamorous Edna did not get the ovation I was hoping for, and I didn't feel that I sold my number as well as I could have. After the concert, I just ran back to the dressing room to start putting my stuff away. Girls have so much stuff! Turned in my lavalier (cordless mic) and helped carry some risers to the truck at the dock. Couldn't do that in heels!
We had a very spontaneous encore number that we just threw together at the last minute. In view of the California Supreme Court decision, we sang "Marry Us" from Naked Man while showing the ruling toward the last part of the song. It was very emotional and really made an impact. We performed the number at our last concert, so it was still fresh for many of us. Me singing it in drag kind of led to the absurdity of the moment, I felt. I was trying to hide behind the piano.
