A long week

Well, the actors got on stage early, on Tuesday night. This gave me time to crash load all the cues in two evenings. This is just roughing in most of the elements I want to see for each scene, without subtleties of timing or even accurate levels. Just following along with the actors as they work, creating as much of each scene as time allows. Now I can tweak for the next three days, adding the subtleties (and the moving light) starting tonight. Once I have the bare bones, fleshing it out is easy. Everything was going swimmingly. Until last night. Then we had our usual tech meeting after rehearsal. It took 2 hours, and lots of changes were made. Some things that were done got changed, and other things not started, made simpler. Mostly we discussed the problems each missing element poses, and how to resolve it practically. Blaaaaahhh. Though I finally got my after work drink and darts. Boy, bars are deserted at 11 on a Wed. night. There was only the bargirl and her boyfriend and me, but I was sure glad that at least they were open. And
SCORE
somebody left three credits on the dart machine! that's a game of cricket, or one and a half games of 501 DI/DO.
Just what I needed after a long day, and in the middle of a really long week.
