So, I stay up all night packing and doing laundry and cleaning my room then report to the RB. Thanks to my wonderful brother, I didn't have to walk at three in the morning. Mark and I begin organizing the tech equipment and promptly at 3:30 we load the bus. Unfortunately, there were NO dancers. It would seem that the call time was changed to 4:15 ... well, at least tech is finished and out of the way! Dancers are slowly trickling in and loading up. We will be driving for at least nine hours as we head to Denver, Colorado for our first performance!
Ever Onward!
From September 2009 to March 2011, I will be posting to my other blog. For those who want to follow my mission experiences in Florida Fort Lauderdale, please go to:

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.
