Well, I was typing this last night but the day changed before I could post it, so here it is [text adjusted for posting today]:

Right after work (yesterday), I rushed down to The Midnight Sun to bring them the money till and my tablet for the performance of TAO's 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche.  I then had to rush back to Tumwater for the Hairspray rehearsal.  It started at 6:00, but was a bit of a bust...for me, at least.  I was only involved in two scenes and all I did was come on, say one line, then leave.  Our Corny Collins broke his foot a few weeks ago but he's been recovering.  He's definitely on the mend.  His wife is playing Velma von Tussle and they have three kids, all probably under the age of four. ::)
Title: Re: SATIESFYING
Post by: George on June 23, 2017, 12:21:12 AM
Anyway, the rehearsal was pretty much for them.  We got through Corny's blocking, he sang through his songs, we got through a couple of scenes with Velma and Corny (and me), then they all left.  The kids in the show (and the couple of adult dancers) stayed to work on/learn more choreography, so the other adults (Prudy, Motormouth Maybelle and I) got to leave at about 8:15.

Post by: George on June 23, 2017, 12:22:23 AM
I took the opportunity to go back to work and scan my script to a PDF so I can highlight it and write all over it.  That took about 45 minutes!  When that was done, I went back to The Sun to pick up the money till and my tablet (they had about 18 people in the audience) and then I came home.

Oh man.  Fifth floor walkups are brutal for those not used to them.  Several friends in the city (who, it just happens, I haven't visited in a long time! :) ) are in 5th floor walkups, and I'd invariably be bringing something to them, so carrying stuff made it even worse.  Another couple of friends had these loft walkups in Tribeca or Soho, with one l-o-n-g staircase that seemed like forever.  In truth, those were probably no worse than the one at the Jerry Orbach Theatre which didn't bother me at all, but I wasn't used to these way back then.

Oh -- apropos of nothing (I just happened to glance at my wastebasket with the wrapper in it) --

Someone had given me a gift-size Claxton Fruit Cake which I finally got to a couple of days ago.  DELICIOUS.  I don't know Claxton from a hole in the ground and I have no idea how a hardcore fruit cake aficionado would rank these, but for my taste, this had the mix of ingredients and the texture I LOVE. 

Just sayin'.  Okay, back to no-elevator walkups.

I had college friends who, when they moved to NYC, lived in a fifth floor walkup on Sullivan Street, about a block from the original off-Broadway Fantasticks.  I stayed with them for a weekend around 1970 or5 1971.  It was a killer.

My condo, in which I've lived now for 10 1/2 years, has two sets of stairs.  And they're not high (tall) sets of stairs, so they're quite manageable, even when I have to go up and down them several times.

Uh, oh, it looks like I forgot to log out when I left for McCormick Place at 8am CDT - sorry!  Learned a lot about genealogy research today and had a lovely lunch all compliments of ProQuest.

My bus ride back, compliments of Gale/Cengage, was not so satisfactory because the driver made the first stop at the Hilton, then went directly back to the convention center.  There were 8 or 10 of us headed for the Palmer House, which the driver skipped because he said, "They rerouted me."  We could have gotten off at the Hilton and walked, if he'd told us.  Instead we spent an hour and 15 minutes on a trip that should have taken 30 minutes tops.  Color me p$&@#d.

DR TCB, I looked up Tacoma Park and found Takoma Park in Maryland. It seems to be a nice neighborhood. DR Kevin are you familiar with it?


I said it was Takoma Park, but when you say it out loud, Takoma = Tacoma.

It was 83 degrees today, but we are heading up into the 90's (maybe) for the next two days.

Back from an interesting rehearsal.  Notes took a while and we didn't get started till an hour in, so we only did acts one and two - it was better tonight and we had some semblance of stage lighting, which was great.  The set is looking really good.  But I was unhappy with two staging bits - one for technical reasons (the murder) and then the end of act two, which I'd blocked poorly.  We fixed that first and then I attended to the murder.  Due to the mechanical gag and how it works with the trench coat I had to simply rethink the way the victim was falling and I ended up doing what the movie did, having him fall on his back - so much more effective and I'm having the actor pause a bit as if the scissors is going in further as he hits the floor.  Creepy and so much better than what we had.

When I went to pick up the money till and my tablet after tonight's performance of 5 Lesbians..., they said that again, only two or three seats were empty!  It looks like we have another hit!  Hoo and Ray!!

Uh, oh, it looks like I forgot to log out when I left for McCormick Place at 8am CDT - sorry!  Learned a lot about genealogy research today and had a lovely lunch all compliments of ProQuest.

My bus ride back, compliments of Gale/Cengage, was not so satisfactory because the driver made the first stop at the Hilton, then went directly back to the convention center.  There were 8 or 10 of us headed for the Palmer House, which the driver skipped because he said, "They rerouted me."  We could have gotten off at the Hilton and walked, if he'd told us.  Instead we spent an hour and 15 minutes on a trip that should have taken 30 minutes tops.  Color me p$&@#d.

That's terrible, Ginny!  Hopefully, the rest of your time there is much better!

Where is everyone tonight?

Well, I went to my parents' for our weekly family dinner get-together and Phase 10 playing, then I put gas in my car, then I went downtown and parked until 5 Lesbians was over and finished a book my Kindle (Discovery, the first book in The Socket Greeny Saga (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004W9NL6U/)), then I picked up the aforementioned till and tablet, and then I came home. :D
