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? 
aegiswings:
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.

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...

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...

I'm currently working at the VECC ( Art house: I.E. Work your ass off for low pay. ) The Godot people are countervening the contract by having the A.S.M. pull the big red ( Main Drape.) And I gather they haven't cleared this with the Union. But, as dispatcher I haven't been called to dispatch a crew guy. And as the senior crew...

They don't bother me too much. This last thing was a road crew, or really one guy who had his head up his ass. As for the ol' boys, they can be obnoxious, but mostly because they are a bunch of idiots, I'm starting to realize. The people who know their shit like me just fine, otherwise I'd be out of a job, there certainly isn't a ton of work to go around where I live.
My dad is a regular carpenter, He's the one who was really giving me hell. Sigh. The non union company that owns me the majority of the time calls me a lighting technician, I should just stick to that to avoid confusion.

Oh and good luck...there's some goddamn movie fever going on down here as well right now...everybody and their mom is fleeing to one set or another it seems. Get on their asses and get yourself working.
Isn't the calling steward a paying position though, that people vote you in for? The person who does all of our calling of crews and whatnot here is the business agent and he gets paid to do that so he doesn't have to work all the time.

Limerick Junction....
Another weekend off...I hate this inactivity in theatre right now. It's busy in film due to pilot season and here I am stuck with this stupid calling steward job that nobody wants. I'm tired of being the pick me up guy. the shit shoveler. I've asked that this job be made part of the regular calling steward's job but we're not going there...

I've never had a good St. Pat's experience EVER in my life. And I've got a good old Scots-Irish last name and real Irish heritage to boot, so what gives??
I think there's too much expectation placed upon the frivolity of St. Pat's and far too few happy outcomes to the partying. Why else do they mask it in a haze of alchol, do you supose? It's just another day so don't feel bad about it.
Being a shit sherpa does suck, doesn't it? There's being part of "the team" and then there's that thing called occupational self esteem.
I'm off today to see a local play called "What Mad Pursuit" -- supposedly a so-called world premiere and a friend of mine is cast in the lead. (He's actually one of my Greek theatre cast members from last summer) It's even gotten a decent review from the local paper which is amazing since they tend to hate EVERYTHING!!!

Ah, the opera is back......
Unfortunately I didn't make the show call but a few days of the VOA at A house pay is far preferable than slumming it at ACT for the same hours. I expected a bigger set than what showed up. Another Michigan Opera set. Man the warehouse they store these old bugger sets in must be the foulest, dilapidated...

7 things I want to do before I die:
1. experience real love.
2. create life
3. have a place and a space to call my own.
4. circumnavigate the world
5. make more friends
6. make art
7. breathe my last breath doing something happy
7 things I cannot do
1. Not think about every little thing.
2. Not grow long...

I think that most urban living girls don't care if someone has a car. They know it's usually not necessary for life in the city.

those G3's keep going and going, my laptops a 500mhz g3ibook im still using it every day as my admin /email computer plus some photoshop work.
I dont believe in replacing stuff until its not repairable broken or it doesn't do what you need it to do anymore.
so while ive kept my g3 i have put my g4 tower (for editing) out of service, and man does the G5 dual 2.5 fly for editing and rendering/compression.
hope all is well in the land of theatre

It's a 95 VW Golf Gti ( Metallic Surf Green, sort of the colour you find on the outside the 7UP can.) I'm so into this car right now. I'm drunk on driving. She's

How long were you car free?
I've been without for about 18 months now.
You've been tagged... what else is there to do on a Thursday night.
