die Klinge von Damocles

Somewhere in the art dept's mind, this Cabaret isn't shocking or edgy enough. ( it's amazing the reaction to one bad revue...) And to rectify this, they brought in a huge nazi banner for us to add to the show ( Some point in Act 2 I guess ) But, it seems they've changed thier minds, but not.

So this long...

Honestly, I have no idea...I think the director is nonplused about the reviews of the show not being edgy enough and that thier's no suprises other than a bunch of great tripple threats in the cast.

Either that or he's seduced by Leni Riefenstal's films....

Just an FYI in response to your comment in my journal, I didn't have an aneurysm, I had a subarachnoid hemorrhage. There's a difference. There is no way to correlate its occurance to stress and, in fact, after the 5 CT scans, 3 MRIs and the angiogram I've had, the docs think it's probably just a weak blood vessel that I've had since birth whose time had just come. This could have happend years ago or it could have happened when I was 80. No way to predict it. Even if I really DID have an aneurysm, stress is not typically the primary etiology. It's kind of an old wives tale that too much stress can blow yer brains out. High blood pressure is more likely to cause a SAH like mine but stress alone is nearly impossible.

Dream / Memory

I dreamt I kissed her.... like I've dreampt I've kissed her before

It was as if I kissed her then. As I did all those years ago.

I hate the way she treated me. Cheated, lied, returned, promissing to stay only to cheat and lie again. And once again after all that. ( The second and third times I know now where...

I've been updating on the tabulas site of late. It's less pretentious than this site.

I think, maybe it's the show. Although I love Cabaret as a musical. ( it asks you to think...) in between the musical numbers and the pressence of Nazi's on stage. - man that Swastika is a mind-fuck at times. It's fun to watch individuals in the crowd...

Shanghi Express

So, our Stage Carpenter has been injured by a piece of scenic equipment during the tech of Cabaret. He got his hand caught in a cable drum that's part of the working mechanism of the trap door and broke several digits. he's lucky it was a really light dancer on top of the trap otherwise he would have lost his hand. And seeing...

Minor technical dificulties...Please stand by.

Due to the current changes, father North on Granville St. (they're building a new RAV line station underground for 2010.) We've had rolling blackouts down the street. Which unfortunately resulted in my old iMAC frying it's logic board and with it every call I've been making for Cabaret on Excel. So, the last few days have been San internet and...

Holy crap dude! Thanks!

You got so descript! You helped me out just now in ways you'll never know. biggrin

Thank you dude, I appreciate it tonnes!

sonofapunk:
Oh yeah dude! Those are some good pointers! Thanks!

I can honestly say that no matter what I'm doing on set, I'll be having a blast and a half! To contribute to the creation and presentation of something that will entertain people immensely is my only dream. And to be a part of it somehow, whether I'm shining shoes or calling the shots, I'll be having the time of my life!

I could give less of a shit about pay. It's all about the experience. As long as I don't starve to death doing it, I'll be smiling non-stop.

I'll keep the whole absorb-everything pointer in mind. I'm gonna be learning from here to infinity.

I'm gonna go and continue reading and whatnot.

Take care, and thanks a lot dude! Once again, you've helped me out WAY more than you'd ever think! I appreciate it, seriously. Thank you.

Tips are wellcome....


Or Stagemanager went a bought 39 lotto 649 quickpicks for everyone on the crew in a thankyou for all the hard work ( The Georgia Straight calls Faust the show of the season.) The Opera is selling out, and we may even cover all the costs for the season. But, I'm banking my check just in case.

The last time I got...

Instinct....

I just can't help it....I'm a nice guy ( Putz...Whatever.) All my adult life I've been the the white knight to artsy drunk chicks who get all obsessive about men hotter than me and I've paid the price. Watch them bend over backwards for some other artsy guy or more often to a musician. While he gets them on the hook and bails for...

Yeah, Meg Ryan DOES look like hell these days doesn't she? Poor thing....she was so cute back in the day.

As for your "possible loss of hooking up"....sounds to me like you're just being a good human. No matter how you approach it, you're building good karma for the future. The payoff will be spectacular, I"m sure. smile

Faustian Agreement.


I've gone from almost no work last month to "Jesus Christ I'm too busy to clean and do laundry." A quick jump from Godot to Faust with Queen in the middle. The Queen show looked awesome. Wacks of Movers on four sticks of truss. With some on Speed motors to move the rig in and out to different configurations. And on deck, huge...

Fall Out Boy....

A busy weekend of jumping to and fro, from gig to gig making a bit of cash for a change. ( God, it's been so slow...) And seeing as Godot is such an easy pull for me I've been double dipping crazy for fear I wouldn't have a gig next week when Sephane returns from Vacation. But, low and behold I'm going...

Thanks. Wait, Quebec girls are all brunettes or have all been fucked over? wink

If you mean the "dating rules" thread, yeah, I saw that, but it's ok. Sid is one of my best friends in real life and she's jsut teasing. ProjectWarbeast is also a real-life friend of mine.

But, yeah, I do get dissed there a lot. I don't mind it though. As long as it entertains someone, I feel my train-wreck of a life is all worth it. Plus I love telling stories.

I'm gonna go post there now.

We could insult each other?

What do you know the reviews are great for Waiting For Godot. And, stranger still the weekend houses are starting to fill up. It's like ACT is the new Playhouse ( Our Premier Canadian Regional Theatre in town. - The one with all the government grants and is currently bankrupt. ) All the actors in the show, and the ones...

Golden slumbers fill your eyes.....


My god what a boring show. A couple of pulls of the main drape. A moon in act 1 and one in act 2 and a main drape for the end. Thank god it's over before 10:30 and I'm only filling in for half the run. Of course, the minute I'm in a dark theatre working, on this terrible existential...

One Step Forward....

ACT has realised that they have to have a running crew guy ( only til the regular Stage Carpenter returns from his vacation in mid April.) Because the ASM is complaining about a bad back after pulling the main drape too many times in tech rehersal.

So, seeing as I'm the old man on the roster list. I'm going to do the...
