More Interesting Observations:

Oh, so I guess I should give an update on the weather … I think it is nice, but humidity is very high so we can feel the height as soon as we take a step outside. We just begin sweating. It doesn’t bother me much though. It’s a change from what I’m use to, but I think it feels good - although a bit sticky. Yep, I apparently can withstand any kind of weather. Hot, cold, humid, dry, rain, snow, you name it, I’m okay with it …

We have some great photographers on tour, who promise to make DVDs for everyone on team, so I don’t go out of my way for pictures. I’ll still take some, but I’ll put off my official tour slideshow until I’ve got those images. We also have a few video cameras, so this year is going to have a lot of photo documentation. Wow … we just laugh at how many pictures are taken in an hours’ time …

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.
