well that was strange. went to the venue, sort of a community center with a small simple stage in it, ate a quick dinner, did microphone check, and spent an hour talking about changes, and running some of them, and finally had to stop to let the people in. didn't have the three main big set units. had our small backdrop, and used most of the furniture and props that we carry in and out. backstage was tiny and packed with stuff. just had to do it as if we always did it that way. there were a few mishaps and confusions, but i thought it was a pretty good show, considering... and the audience really enjoyed it - that's the important thing.
there was a curtain track thing across the middle of the stage - we had to work around it - some of us, including me, have to stand on big crates during the show and we had to be careful not to smash our heads.
oh, and then there were the seven-swans-a-swimming on top of the curtain track... (see pics)...
our crew chief convinced them to let us take down the swans for the show...
thank goodness.
have to ride all the way to the middle of the florida atlantic coast tomorrow - about 11 - 12 hours. but don't do the show until saturday night, so we get a day on the beach...
