These pictures are terrible BUT do show a percentage of the platforms that we painted today. This is about...I want to say maybe 23%. Lots of platforms. Lots of blue and gray paint. Lots of legs. My rockstar son painted a hole bunch of legs. There was one platform that was brilliantly assembled with too-short staples holding the plywood on the frame. It broke and had to be repaired. They look like lap lanes in a swimming pool, don't they?
I'm a little bit exhausted. Load-in is tomorrow and all I can say is:
1. At least I am not running a marathon beforehand.
2. It's nice not to have to clean everything up beautifully for rehearsal.
3. There is nothing else.
EXCEPT that I think of all the other things I need to be doing right now. I think of the opening night of another show and the show of a good friend I'd have liked to have seen tonight and I wonder why I was crawling on hands and knees, getting covered in paint, trying to pull everything together, challenging my gimpy elbow.
And thanks to Scott, Emma, Bailey and Chris for coming in to help. Thanks to Justin for coming in and not making things more difficult.
