Well, you've read the notes, the notes were melodic and ordered, and now it is time for you to post until the melodic and ordered cows come home.

Sunday evening greetings!  Sorry to have been E & T since last Wednesday.  We've been kind of busy with fun and informative events.  Wednesday evening we went to the library where my career began for this semester's first National Parks lecture by the campus geology professor.  Her topic was Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior - quite interesting but too remote for me.

Yesterday morning we attended great-nephew Timothy's crossover into Boy Scouts and went out to lunch with his parents, siblings, grandma, and aunt.  We came home for naps and then headed to Oxford for the annual Yamauchi Lecture at Miami University.  The speaker was a very thought-provoking astrophysicist named Jennifer Wiseman.

Richard went to church this morning while I enjoyed some solitude.  After lunch we went to Miami Middletown for a concert by the Southwest Ohio Symphonic Band, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary.  They honored the founder, Richard's former co-worker Bill Stiehl, and 2 musicians who have been with the band all 50 years, Earl Jones and Sam Ashworth.  These names will mean something to DR Elmore.

Not my idea of a way to spend a Sunday.

Do you get more work done going in on a Sunday?

The work I had to do stemmed from something that came up after 4 p.m. Friday and relates to a meeting taking place at 10 a.m. tomorrow. If the change outlined goes into effect as is, I'm quite possibly screwed in my ability to do my job effectively. My supervisor needed us to get ideas to her as to how to deal with this and so we would be able to present a united front, as several of my co-workers could face the same. Since my area right now outperforms their two areas combined (I also have Krista's workload for the next five months), it would have less effect on them, but would still have a negative impact. It would also really have a hard impact on our writers.

It did help that nobody was in the office today and that the free Starbucks machine was working.

Back from a really great Kritzerland show - more in the notes.  I am EXHAUSTED.  And at the moment I barely have any voice left, but I'm not talking until Tuesday so hopefully all will be well by then.

In short, I could use a vibe or two to get through tomorrow's meeting.

I was thinking that while reading your post.

Well, my day started  (after getting up and getting ready and leaving my house) with my first rehearsal at 9:00 for Bunbury.

tonight was volunteer appreciation night at the performing arts center. They showed Crazy Rich Asians to a predominately older white crowd.

I want to see it again to relive Singapore.

The morning rehearsal was more adding of tracks (images and audio) to the sound board program, and making sure that they work.  We only got through the first act before we had to start the cue-to-cue with the actors.

Post by: George on March 03, 2019, 10:29:57 PM
We got through the first and I adjusted things as we went through it.  The second act had most of the audio tracks, but not all of the images.

By the time I had to leave to go to my union meeting at 12:45, we had started into the second act and Marko, the director's husband and co-sound designer with pug the director, took over for me until I got back.  I was only gone about an hour and a half.

When I got back, they were ready to start an actual run.  Most of the second act was still missing, but it wasn't difficult for the actors to adjust to what was(n't) happening. ;)

Post by: George on March 03, 2019, 10:33:49 PM
We did a full run of the show and got through it without any great mishaps.  A couple of set changes got missed (and quickly fixed), and one actor went up on his lines (not horribly, though), but it went relatively well, all things considered.  I really can't wait to see the whole show in all its glory!  It's going to be really good.

We ended at about 4:45 pm, and I and a couple of the actors had to leave because we were involved in the reading at Olympia Family Theater.

We all assembled an hour before the The Alphabet Caper started and ran (for the first time with the entire cast! :o ) most of the group numbers.  I didn't run my two songs (one solo and one duet), but we should've run the duet because the woman I sang it with and I had never actually sung it together. ::)

Post by: George on March 03, 2019, 10:40:47 PM
Anyway, the audience was let into the theater (it was quite a nice sized crowd) and the writer made his announcements explaining what was going on, and we started the show.  For the most part, it went quite well.  I'm not in love with the show (I think a lot of it is too sophisticated for the target audience), but the audience tonight seemed to really enjoy it. 
Title: Re: A MOST MELODIC STUMBLE-THROUGH AND ORDERING THE BOOK
Post by: George on March 03, 2019, 10:41:17 PM
My duet wasn't perfect (I goobered a bit), but we got through it.  I also had a line that I didn't highlight, so I didn't realize that I needed to continue with a speech, but since the actor in that scene didn't speak, I finally realized that my line actually continued!  SPOO!  But I think it actually worked, dramatically (that's my story and I'm sticking to it ;) ).

Post by: George on March 03, 2019, 10:42:48 PM
We got a great response from the audience, so the authors were please.  There was a talk-back after the show, but I was driving my friend Margo home, so we didn't stay.  I hope that went well.

After I dropped off Margo, I was hungry, but wasn't interested in making something at home, so I went to the Wendy's close to her house.  She just wanted to go home, so I went and brought my Kindle in.  I ate and read and then came home, fed my cat, took my evening meds, and now will ketchup on the rest of today's posts. :)

Not my idea of a way to spend a Sunday.

Do you get more work done going in on a Sunday?

The work I had to do stemmed from something that came up after 4 p.m. Friday and relates to a meeting taking place at 10 a.m. tomorrow. If the change outlined goes into effect as is, I'm quite possibly screwed in my ability to do my job effectively. My supervisor needed us to get ideas to her as to how to deal with this and so we would be able to present a united front, as several of my co-workers could face the same. Since my area right now outperforms their two areas combined (I also have Krista's workload for the next five months), it would have less effect on them, but would still have a negative impact. It would also really have a hard impact on our writers.

It did help that nobody was in the office today and that the free Starbucks machine was working.

Oh, my goodness!  Good luck, John!!

I bought some Girl Scout Cookies.

What a coinkydink!  Yesterday at the Alphabet Caper rehearsal, there were some girl scouts selling cookies just two doors down from the theater space. 
Title: Re: A MOST MELODIC STUMBLE-THROUGH AND ORDERING THE BOOK
Post by: George on March 03, 2019, 11:40:03 PM
The other coinkydink is that my sister just happened to call me when we had a break, asking if I would go to Fred Meyer to buy her some girl scout cookies.  I said that I'm downtown and there are some being sold right here!  She said, "get me one box of each!"  I confirmed that she really did want eight different boxes of cookies and she said yes, so I bought them.  When I went to her house after yesterday's Bunbury rehearsal, she was very happy (and she paid me back).
