super carp!
so winchester is pretty cool thus far. lots of pretty mountains around...good places to explore on our days off. (we work tues-sun, which is weird. it'll take me most of the summer to adapt to working on sundays)
everyone seems to be pretty cool, and my roommate and i happen to have very similar habits and schedules and such. plus the best shower of my LIFE in our own bathroom (hooray!)
we spent the first few days getting the shop ready for the hectic summer schedule. which meant changing the rehearsal hall to the paint shop and the blackbox to the rehearsal hall. kind of a pain. then we got to build three MASSIVE props boxes (my happy job to lead, as master carp) and then the extension on the loading dock...all of which had their quirks, but hey, they're done now. we finally started building things RELEVANT to the first SHOW (go figure) which is 'Thoroughly Modern Millie," and i'm pretty stoked about it. i picked my project for the day to be this huge art deco...THING. it's going to be a flat, well, two of them, that mirror each other, are about 16' tall, and split apart. the fun thing is that they lean out at about a 7 degree angle, and let's just say that their construction draftings are more...guidelines. so it was basically a full day of work just ironing out this one stupid flat, because i had no measurements OR angles, and used a scale rule, only to find out AFTER i made the cut list (and cut it) that the printer hadn't printed in scale.

so yeah, it was a fun, fun day today...but i think it'll be a really fun summer. can't WAIT for millie.
