Back... Almost...

Well... You've probably noticed that i haven't posted in a week... Well, here's a rundown on how i've spent the last week;

6:00 AM; Wake up (in theory)
6:30 AM; Leave for school
7:00 AM; Get to school
12:05 PM; Skip lunch, and head to shop for lunch and 4th block. No food has been aquired.
2:05 PM; School ends, keep working as more crew shows up.
3:00 PM; Stop and do homework. Then continue working.
5:00 PM; Onstage for rehersals.
7:00 PM; Crew orders pizza.
7:25 PM; Pizza arrives.
7:30 PM; Show opens.
8:30 PM; Largest scene change-- always mayhem--.
8:45 PM; Intermission. Run to get drinks.
9:00 PM; End intermission.
10:30 PM; Show ends.
11:00 PM; Finish fixing most of the things we managed to break.
11:15 PM; Drop off friend at his house.
11:45 PM; Get home.
Midnight; Go to sleep.


I've been doing that for a week now, and its not over yet... The SOLE reason i'm able to stay awake, is that the ONLY thing i've been drinking, is mountain dew (contains caffeine), and i'm taking caffeine pills...


Not to mention, that every other scene change, we have to move a castle which weighs two and a half tonnes. So the bottom of my feet are quite raw, and my hands are torn to shreds.


But alas; the show must go on. And other than a few screups that seemed to be more a problem with flying pipes in, than moving stuff, things have gone pretty smoothly...

So anyway... 2 shows today, one tomorrow then the cast and crew p[arty, and some striking... THEN, i'll be back for good...

You should probably add 'two solid days of sleep' after striking and *then* come back. You need to rest and take care of yourself, man. We'll still be here when you get back.

Caffeine pills sounds bad. Switch to coffee, you can't drink too much of that because, well, your bladder won't let you. People die from caffeine overdose, you know.
And whoever is leading that play is doing a shoddy job of taking care of those who do the work. You should always keep yer people fed, especially when you're talking abhout volunteers.

fixed the image...


Caffeine isn't the badguy here though... I have enough medical training to tell me that ODing is bad...


Though, you can get high on the dry ice og machine thing if you stick your head in the tube... Its short lived though...

Time doesn't allow that though... We buy pizza daily... Papa Gino's has made over $800 from delivering to the crew... not including the cast...
