2. If you didn’t win an award, don’t worry. There was a lot of good competition, I’m not even sure how they were able to choose.
3. The Hamilton performance was AMAZING!! They performed Yorktown (The World Turned Upside-down), and I LOVED it, and my dad said that he really enjoyed it! I was really looking forward to the “Hamilton” company performance, and I enjoyed all of the other performances as well! I hope all these wonderful people keep doing the amazing things they’re doing.

Before being invited to work on Hamilton, he appeared in many regional theatre productions and some short films. Most notably, he played Hobbes in the 2014 web series, Hobbes and Me.
He also is the vocalist and writer of the experimental hip-hop/rap groupclipping, who released a mixtape called midcity in 2013, and their album, CLPPNG, in 2014. He released his solo album Small Things to a Giant in 2012, and appeared on the soundtrack for the 2016 film Zootopia.

So, I’ve been playing Shovel Knight for a couple of weeks or so, and I just played the second level of The Tower of Fate/ The Battle Royal. I’m posting this to Tumblr because I want to remember this. I beat the entire Order of No Quarter in one go, without dying! I’m very pleased with myself about being able to do this. I also wanted to say that I beat Propeller Knight without dying (in the first fight on the Airship, I mean)! I’m very pleased about that, too. Now, I’m not trying to brag, I just wanted to say it. I’ve died on some of the easiest parts of ALL of the levels, and I’ve died to King Knight in his level many times. I just wanted to write this because I’m very happy right now. Hope whoever reads this has a lovely day! : )
