Blaaaaargh
Well, I just got back from a rehearsal…. erm, tech day. Sorry, my mind is nearly offline again. Hey, last time it happened was in crunch time for Blackout. I got there after a nerve wracking night/morning trying to deal with getting some version of last week’s rehearsal off of my computer onto a disk. My laptop is in the show, and using the network to use my brother’s DVD burner was impossible, so I gave up until 1 PM last night, when I figured out that I could make one of those Super-Video CDs like I did for Hedwig’s rehearsal.
So they have finally gotten me to go up AND sit on the top of the tressel ladder. Well, not really they. The full credit goes out to Marjorie for persevering even after Marty told her that she was wasting her time (”he’ll go up when he feels like he has to”). Its not all that bad once you get up, its just swinging your leg over the top to get up and down/the transition to the vertical part that is scary.
So yeah, I finally left at about 9 this morning, after leaving school last night at about 10/10:30 PM. It was raining, and I had never driven at night before…. but I didn’t realize that problem until after it was night so I figured I might as well just do what I needed to do before I left.
I left Beaver tonight at about 12:30 AM. More night, heavier rain.
But yeah, 20 minutes before we were going to start (hours late I might add), Dan walked in. He proceeded to fix our broken dimmer, give me some tips, tell us some more Beaver Tech history, and “indefinitely” lend us his homemade stagepin A/B switcher box. Nice guy.
Well, I have pulled two late nights in a row on the musical of my senior year a week before the show goes up. I was there past midnight tonight, being the second to last person out (Marty was still there, though our director left about a half hour earlier), and I went to Eagles with Marjorie for lunch. All in all, I feel I have fulfilled my duty as Student Head of the Tech Crew.
I think I wanted to say other stuff, but as can clearly be seen, this is already becoming unintelligible.
I need sleep.
