That first split was enough to make me cringe!

Do you have the Holiday shows starting soon?

After the seventh shot of novocaine I felt the same as B. Cosby was describing. Finally getting the feeling back.

I have a week of Ballet's Nutcracker starting on Monday ... other than that, just a concert or two ... It slows down like this every year for us. So I pretty much plan for it, some of us call it "Vacation Time" ... if you are smart enough to save $ and book early ...

it got resolved that afternoon ... although the IRS is sending me paperwork to file for another year I didn't

if I got a pic-text like that from you ... I would consider it an invitation

Cool, working towards her goals. Always a good thing.
Thanks for the add.

ooo, thanks.....that should help! I have Rosetta Stone software, but alas, it does not have a sign language component to it. now...time to learn!

pretty much everything was on wheels, ... carts, hampers, gondolas ... we even had to fork 3/4 of it onto the truck.
but the shit is HEAVY, and doesn't roll easy. Some pieces had to be pulled up a 6% grade out of the Theater by winch, onto a flatbed Tow-Truck, then taken out to the street, onto a flatbed trailer, and pushed into the Traveling Trailer ... pics tomorrow when I upload them
We had 2 teams of 6 truckloaders ... average about 1 1/2 hrs per trailer ... but the shuffle of trailers was what took the time. (I think I have some pics of the "dock" situation ... WAIT! ... there is no DOCK! )
and yes, with the team, ... we all know how to 4-Man lift a box/case, by the corner ... it's just the long hours that can kill you
... not to mention ... this was a 32 show run, in 4 weeks ... 8 shows a week, 6 days a week ... I have had only Mondays off, in the past month ... I even turned down work, Dispatch called me to work, Twice!, on those Mondays ...

and yes ... living in LV ... I was not doing as well, as I am here, now ... being gone for 5 years, and paying my Union dues - keeping my Seniority - moving back was a smart move. I just wished LV was "The Entertainment Capitol of the World", as it's advertised to be ...

I agree, it's not the early starts it's the long hours... why is this not considered when shows are booked... did a 4:30 am call and finished at 2:30am the next day... 1 break, and dinner on the fry floor during levels... I feel your pain that you will be feeling tomorrow...

good luck...guess we'll see you when you recover!

As of now, no. But who knows. Looks likei am solo here for a while

most of the TV I watch comes from Netflix actually as well. as for the car fluids....well, if you're not sure if they were stored properly, I'm not pouring it into my transmission or brake reservoir. and the oil....an open container is never good! I did keep the fluids I know how they were stored, though....so we have transmission fluid, oil, and brake fluid. most of what I got rid of came from my step-father's father.

my first professional gig was as a dresser... hope this show runs well and tech week does not kill you

We didn't have a "tech week" ... just a 1st act rehearsal, then a 2 show day crash course.

good luck with the Subaru - - they'll generally last forever, but not without some $.

Good luck with everything!

means i lost 175 lbs, and am currently sitting at 246 lbs.

I don't work there regularly ... it was just for the All-Star weekend. I get dispatched to work at all the major venues in town ... tonight, I load out the Josh Groban show at ESA

I hope you get to hear this
