Masochism…again

19Aug07

So last night I spent three hours taping christmas lights to the back wall of the stage to use as a star effect in Kentucky Cycle. I arrived today only to find that alllllll the christmas lights had fallen off the wall over night.

So, lucky me…I got to re-hang them today. I tried it a different way and it only took me about two hours this time…but when I was done I plugged them in to find that half of each strand didn’t work. Despite the fact that they all worked perfectly when I tested them before hanging them on the wall. FUUUUCCCKKKK!!!! So naturally, I left them there to be fixed later and by someone else.

And naturally, that “someone else” will end up being me.

THEN!! I spent two and a half hours going over scene shifts with Allie, Dane and Cody. Fun shit. <–sarcasm

This all took place after one of the shittiest 6 hour technical rehearsals ever.

And here I am…1 small order of fries, 2 Red Bulls, 3 Cokes, 19 cigarettes and a fit of creepy, laughing hysterics later…

Guys…don’t go into theatre. It will kill you.
