Day Eleven
We were prepared for anything, but we were not needed all day - only for a few simple things. We went to the MPS at 7am to get some more equipment, then I was able to get a ride with Tom - the director - so we were able to talk a bit as we drove up the canyon to Vivian Park. It was a cold day today as we had rain, snow, sleet, hail, wind, and everything in between. The sun decided not to come out until we finished at 4pm. Oh well. Tomorrow is our last day. We have one location left and it is mainly in the evening. We get to build a great bonfire and have firemen watch it for us. I'm excited. So I guess today was eight hours of nothing. But at least we were there and ready if we were needed.

Stagehands have astonishing learning curves. It's not unusual for stage crews to have trucks full of unknown scenery arrive at a theatre on Monday, which we need to assemble and understand to open a show we've never seen before... on Tuesday night.
Most people, if confronted with such a task, would flatly say it was impossible.
Stagehands find ways to make it possible. We learn quickly, we draw upon years of experience, skills and training, and (all too often) we drink lots of coffee and work all night.
I've had one longstanding handicap in my career as a stagehand. I don't drink coffee.
