The day is finally done! The second shoot went very well, save for having to endure some very atypical noise on my patio. It's normally completely quiet out there, but not today. Today, the neighbor, who is NEVER home, was having a bee problem (several dead ones ended up in my yard - thank you) and the bee killers were VERY loud. We had to ask her to ask them to please talk more quietly - they complied. Then instead of the one plane going over every three hours or so, we must have had twenty in a one-hour period. Add to that some sirens and it became comical after a while. But the footage is funny and good. I then had to leave and I had a twenty minute window to shove a bacon cheeseburger down my gaping hungry maw - I went to a jernt a block from the rehearsal studio - it was deelish. Then we had our rehearsal and I had to go pick up sheet music from the Xerox place then go directly down to LACC (mucho traffic, natch), and I auditioned three boys and one girl. Two of the boys I cast, knowing I can work with their raw talent - and since the girls were already cast (this gal couldn't attend due to bronchitis) I cast this girl to cover and she'll get to do two matinees. That seemed fair. So, the third boy we can bring in and I'll get someone really strong.
Then I finally came home.
