countdown
Haha. Okay.
So I didn't post again in Tampa. After I posted that entry, I went to the pool and jacuzzi for a while. The pool was just cool enough to be completely refreshing after boiling in the hot tub. I alternately stewed and froze for about an hour. Instead of heading straight back to the room, I decided to walk the dock outside the hotel for a while to dry off. On the way back to my room, Nick called me over to a table outside. Several people were beginning to gather with drinks and laughs. I went to my room, changed into some dry clothes and brought a couple drinks back to the table with me. By the time I got downstairs again, quite a few people that I don't normally get to hang out with were joining the party. I really can't post too much, 'cause I don't want to get anyone in trouble. Ha. Talk to me personally if you want to know anything else. It's not a big deal. Just more than I can post in a public forum.
So that took care of my time in Tampa. I slept a couple hours and woke the next morning for our eight o'clock call. Tampa had great catering guys. They were super friendly and offered some really delicious suggestions. I guess they get a good bit of work, as they were with us the next day in Orlando, too.
Orlando was nice. The weather was perfect, especially later in the afternoon, and I tried to stay outside for a while. The show went well. Set-up and tear-down were bothersome. We were told to set up the back screens again. The back screens are for the people with the worst seats, near the back of the stage. The problem lies in the positioning. The screens are so far off the stage that you actually have to turn your head in an awkward direction to see them. Oh well. Not my decision. It kinda doubles my workload... ugh. The stagehands in Tampa and Orlando were very competent. I love a good crew of hard workers. They showed a lot of initiative and would start working on the next project without me telling them to do so.
The shows right now are just a countdown to Christmas. We all want to be home now.
But we're not home. We're in Columbia, South Carolina, where it's rainy and kinda depressing. The steady rain is making everyone sleepy.
Steve gave me an entire dvd full of pictures he's taken. I'll do my best to post a lot of them or maybe stick them on Flickr and link you.
Here's one to hold you over. It's Shmaba, me, Jody and Arnold.
I'm giving you the stink eye.
