Anthony “Queen” Quesada @ CreativeLive with Jasmine Star

I’m going to try to keep this brief because it has been a pretty amazing day:

7:50 Group meeting in room 408 to do one last walkthrough rehearsal

8:01 Gathering in parking garage to get last pieces of wardrobe from housekeeping

8:04 Jasmine and JD are sitting at breakfast wondering if everyone of her students are blowing her off

8:05 Walk into restaurant in single file line, rocking sunglasses, cocky attitudes and snapping our right hand as we circle around Jasmine Star doing our rehearsed song and dance

8:06 We all get a pretty big kick out of our big entrance and sit down to a really fun get to know each other breakfast. Unbeknownst to Jasmine our group had all chilled and had some fun together the night before

9:55 introduce myself and talk about my experience and where I am from etc.  Things are going well until I spell out my twitter name… “and my twitter name is anthonyQ35 Q as in queen? ”  Haha in a moment of panic I could think of no other words that started with Q?

10-5 Unbelievable amounts of information and tips thrown our way. So much great stuff to digest.

6:00 Dinner and drinks at Serious Pie pizza joint.  I really connected with Susan and Kenna, the amazing moderators from Creativelive who are also just awesome people.

8:30 Drinks, reenactments and more laughs back in room 408

9:00 Trip to Space Needle.  Got to get our tourist on!!

10:30- Random back-alley party.  TimKing rocked his handstand moves, I pulled out my yoga poses and we all grabbed some fun shots as a group.  Cops buzzed through and thought we were hilarious

11:28- Ran into a tranny on the way back to the Holiday Inn, wanted to complete my day as the queen and asked to take pictures with her/him as well as the amazing wig they were carrying.  Hopefully Ill be able to post some of the photos the group grabbed.  It is all about the story, Right Erin?

11:54  Back in the room looking forward to another amazing day tomorrow.  And Ashley we are going to do your birthday up right!!!!!!!

I love all you guys.  You have made this trip that much more perfect!

Before it all began. The nerves started to kick in!!
