Play! Hee.
For everyone who didn't manage to get there, y'all missed out -- it was our best show yet, even if we did flub a few lines. The bit where I fell right on my butt was apparently very convincingly a part of the play, which is nice because it certainly wasn't planned. Oh well, I'm made of pillows and I didn't fall that hard. The costume mistress's reaction was great, though, when I got back off stage:
"Oh goodness, are you all right?"
"Oh, I'm fine, I just -- "
"Is the dress all right?" *pivots me around*
The dress was fine. My stitches are the stitches of STEEL. Nothing is going to disturb those cartridge pleats.
Also discovered my new friend is also related to an old Cam buddy who was rather surprised to see so many people she knew on stage.
Things To Finish For The Week:
Tent --
* Will buy better stakes from Academy/REI/whatever.
* Must finish support poles/ridge pole arrangement. Shouldn't take more than an hour with a drill and a wrench, and then we get to try to
put it up. Yay.
* Must practice tying knots for ropes.
Dress --
* All cut out!
* About a third sewn together! Well, except for the right sleeve, which I'm going to have to rip out a part of. At least I (hopefully) won't make
that mistake twice -- the points of the rear gore are sticking OUT. Also I kind of wish the sleeve wasn't so farging huge. I guess I could rip
out the entire side gore set and raise it slightly and take the sleeve in but you know what? Not gonna do that this week.
* I still need to hem it and improve the neckline from the hacked out bits it is right now.
Test --
* Studied for half of it on Sunday. Realized that I actually GET most of this stuff, which is quite the revelation.
* Must finish studying tonight.
VB .net class --
* Read chapter 3.
* Do chapter 3 assignment.
Miscellaneous --
* Go to Academy and pick up tent stakes and possibly a foldaway bed (will it even fit in the car along with tent and clothes? WE SHALL SEE. Or possibly, we shall try and buy it on Friday.
*
.....yeah, somehow I don't think I'm going to a Wednesday rehearsal on top of Tuesday and Thursday night stuff. If anything gets dropped by the wayside it's the dress. I HAVE enough clothing to wear this weekend, just not "and look nice" on top of it.
