a couple more pix

Here are the trees on the set. The color isn't right, but there is a worklight out over the stage, and I didn't feel like turning on the stagelights just for this shot. I've forgotten to mention that the two raised areas in the steps are two water tanks. Each is 10' long and 2'6" wide and has water to about 9" deep. Creates a nice tidal wave over the edges when the actress gets dunked. They have covers for the palace scenes, and the dunk tank also lives with a fishtank circulator and heater. With the cover almost on, it will get over 80 deg. F. Not too bad.


Here's the medallion. The roman coin with the profile of the lead who plays Theseus the Duke of Athens. This is in the center of the floor, and, as you can see, is already accumulating scuff marks, making him a brown-noser.


We had a mini poker night last night at S's. We'd invited a number of people, but it was just TD and I that showed. Oh well. I came in second, but by that point, was so far behind, and getting such crappy cards that I had no real chance. I miss the larger poker nights of days gone by. Maybe someday. Today was a lethargic day. I got a packet of drawings and inventories together for the next designer, and got those mailed off. Only then did I discover that she really does have an email address, but just not listed on the contact sheet. Maybe I can mail her files for hookup sheets later. Funny how we come to expect people to have email access. Although two ladies of my acquaintance hate it, and after being on a computer all day at work, doing accounts and data entry, the last thing they want is to go home and get on the computer as well. I find it indispensible now. Gotta have my Fark and my blogs.
