Break a leg, Malkii!

I know you'll have a good show. Just remember some advice that a good friend gave to me when I was stressing about stage managing:

It's just a show. It's not brain surgery, and the world isn't going to end if something goes wrong. Just keep doing the stuff that's going right, and you'll be okay.

and thats the thing, in all the shows i have been in something has gone wrong, but you just keep going... but i am a little more nervous about this one, since it is my show... a friend of mine is helping out as the director, and he has done a great job... and i am sure it is going to be fine... just getting a little case of the jitters getting this close... only 3 hours till we are on stage...

Good Luck Mal!

Remember if you worry about something happening then it's going to happen to just relax and have fun

They're only awful by today's standards. I remember reading reprints avidly in the 70s. At the time the comics came out, they were considered ground-breaking. Well, if not ground-breaking, certainly fresh and new.

Do I think Stan Lee is a great writer? No. Did he create some great characters through less-than-stellar ability? Definitely. But let's not chalk them up as 'awful' when without them, the X-Men wouldn't exist.

While I will concede that Stan was never the best of writers, his and Kirby's imagination and innovation of the medium was matched by no one! And even if the earliest story lines don't hold water (which I think they do, when you consider when they were written), the later stories by Roy Thomas and Neal Adams, as well as Claremont and C0ckrum, and Claremont and Byrne have never been surpassed .. by A N Y O N E!

Its funny how you two are assuming I said I never liked anyting before jim lee, because I never said that. I did say I grew up reading that era, and I don't know how I can be faulted for that (having no control when I was born)

I enjoy the giant size xmen era and after very much

but I tried to read the stan lee original stories and was just grateful someone made an interesting concept much better in execution
