hello ms word...
LATE
Okay here we are last moments last minutes. Last words.
GO BIG
Or
GO HOME
Coming in post work. I strolled in at a clean 6:30pm. I stood. I held a bag I sipped some coffee.
I got a beer. I tipped.
People were sitting. Eating Milling. Trick looked confused.
Currently. I sit I watch.
And there is an intense conversation about blood.
Where is the blood? Have you seen the blood?
Ask Trick. Trick asked me to ask you.
Nope no blood.
Trick comes by “Have I asked you about the blood?”
Nope no blood.
Ah… blood…
FIN
So either this is going to be a very STRESSFUL next 2 hours or an AMAZING next 2 hours. The band sounds good from down in the lower space of CHAC. That’s always an exciting thing to see – the music. The BAND. They go off in their own land and learn how to perform toge
ther as a group, which I suppose actors do too, but it’s just different with music. I want “Let’s Get Retarded” to cut out from the speakers and the band to begin.
8:06pm. Ah. Lights flash. Woos are wooed. The perch is crammed and a bit scary. No turning back now. Directors, you’ve had 10 hours and now there’s nothing you can do. Actors, got those lines? Writers…oh writers…
The 14/48 Band has started to rock. Here comes some Ancient Wisdom.
9:00pm Intermission. 4 down, 3 to go. Most of the audience gets up to get a drink and pee. Actors who just performed breathe a sigh of relief and talk about what to do differently at the 10:30 show. Writers either are very satisfied or hide in a corner.
Music plays Erin goes to grab a program I dance in place.

Jen Moon has SARS --- just read her shirt-
From a distance.
People Mill. Bathroom Lines are long – the women have camaraderie in waiting, checking for feet. Laughter.
Good crowd good sprits.
Second half posed ready to begin. I saw a little face painting happening – curious about that action.
Playing some booty-tastic music. I approve. Bass beats are nice to pump a crowd. Serious.
I just scored a beer.
Thanks Erin…
Still typing into MS Word due to complications with Inter Web Access
Much sadness.
But on a positive note it checks my atrocious spelling.
First half went well – some well timed laughs – some solid acting – great band atmosphere action
The plays linked nicely together
Which is one thing that I for one am always curious about. How the writers take the suggestion. The theme. How they deal with it. If they stray - if they want to stray. If straying looks too purposefully strayed. If staying too close looks too close
UPDATE – apparently the prop cock used and thrown into the audience ended in the lap of young Zoey Belyea – sorry Shawn.
9:53 first performance ends. BREATHE. Curtain call. The topic is picked for tomorrow’s show “A REASON TO BELIEVE”.
