The madness of flooding
Flooding creates all sorts of complications in life. The first is moving Shakespeare Festival from City Park to the auditorium in City High! This require a lot of time, money, and general panic from everyone involved. I'm just thrilled we didn't have to cancel festival altogether, but this situation creates so much drama! Besides that, Dubuque is closed north of Park Rd., so there's no way to get to I-80 without going to Dodge St. This is going to be problem in a couple of days when Park Rd. floods, so there will be no way to get to the Coralville Strip (aka civilization) without going all the way around on 80 and back again. The madness! It's going to be a wild week. I heard the theatre building had to evacuate the basement as well! During 1993 floods, Summer Rep could only do three shows and then had to close on account of all the water damage and low seat counts. It's all just so crazy.
I've discovered that painting has really helped me not feel so stifled creatively between theatre projects. This is good, because I really don't know when I'll be acting again. I painted this bloody awesome painting on 16x20 canvas that I'll have to post when I figure out my camera. Also a random wall hanging, a little sign for our kitchen, another picture frame, and I'm going to do one more frame for Wayne for Father's Day, hopefully with a picture of he and I dancing at the wedding together. I think I'm going to get the one painting framed; I like it that much.
Also, as previously mentioned, I got a digital camera! One of those dumb pink Kodak ones, but they wanted $67 for the pink one instead of $119 for the EXACT SAME model in silver! I may be stubborn about pink things, but I'm no fool. Almost double the price just on account of color? I think not. So now I have a snazzy new camera to take to St. Louis next week. I've set up some appointments, although I'm realizing how crazy this is going to be. We're going to have to leave way early Monday morning, live out of the car all day, and then drive back by very early Tuesday morning. Thank God Casey is coming. I'd be too exhausted on my own.
All right, over to City High to take a look at the space. This is the best house management training ever: two spaces in one summer!
