finally
Since the last time I was going to post, I realized I hadn't done my interview yet, now I can post about what I STARTED to blog about. Last weekend.
What a great time.
Dear S had organized our little gang to have a special dinner out. A local riverfront upscale restaurant had a friday night fish buffet for $16. Can't beat that. Then, to top it all off, Wife decided that she wanted to join us for a change. I'm sure that some of the group had actually never met her, after all these years.
So I got dressed up again, in my goombah suit, no tie this time. The dinner was fantastic. They had a tub of cold crab legs and a pan of hot legs as well. They had about 6 different recipes of Cod, but also MahiMahi, Tilapia, Tuna, and "Whitefish". Most were broiled, but of course, there was the obligatory pans of fried everything, including Calamari Fritas. It was all exceptional, though the first pan of Sesame coated Tuna was dry and overdone, the next pan was perfectly done. After dinner, we all went out to a local bar to hear one of the acting assholes from NAT in his band, the Stevee Nicks. That much was a let down. While the band was great, he sounded like shit. Out of tune, gravelly and just bad in general. We found out that he currently had a 102 fever, and usually sounded much better. Unh huh, ok. Wife was her usual wet blanket at the bar though ("I got the bar scene out of my system 20 yrs. ago!"), so we left early. Not a bad choice since the dogs had been left for 6 hours by then. But it was a fun evening, and both friends and Wife enjoyed each other, my two worlds in a rare meeting.
Saturday was a build day for Red Herring, and that went well. I couldn't start doing any of the lights, because it was all in use in Into The Woods in the upstairs mainstage. So yesterday (Monday), I started that. Of course I had to retrieve the lights from the battens, which meant that I had to climb the open spiral staircase up the 75' feet to the 'loading gallery', not my idea of fun, but one of those necessary evils that comes with a fly house. Since the kids hadn't finished strike, and there were still set pieces in the way, I couldn't bring in the last two electrics to get the last of the lights I needed. I'll get them (hopefully) today. So now I'm up to date here. Next weekend is Tech for Herring. This means that I'll be busy, but also sitting under a wifi hotspot, so who knows if I'll post or not.
