we play along, so bitter sweet by our design.

I write to-do lists only to lose them within the hour.
I'm either too nice or too selfish to turn down LMC design ops.
Any idea what As You Like It is about? I need to design a shirt...
I've been seeing iStockphoto "We Miss You" ads all over the web.
Haha. I miss you too, iStock. You and Photoshop and InDesign.
I've been a slave to my job all summer

you can say no if you want :). we won't dieeee if you don't design shirts for us.
basically:
1. there's a good nice duke [bjesus]. everyone loves him until his brother[jakem] usurps his dukedom. they both have daughters, who are bffs. the good duke's daughter (rosalind [lauren p]) is allowed to stay in court to be with her cousin (celia [kim]). then one day this guy orlando[pat], who has a shitty older brother (oliver[mike]), shows up to wrestle in court. rosalind falls in love with him and he her. however, the usurping bad duke doesn't like him so he banishes her.
her father had gone off with mad friends to the forest, where they're happy. so rosalind thinks "that's where i'll go." celia won't let her be banished alone, so they go together. rosalind dresses up like a dude to protect them and celia makes herself look poor (sort of). they take the court fool (touchstone[terry]) with them.
they buy land and meet a bunch of native forest people. audrey [jenna] and touchstone decide to get married. phebe[fiona] falls in love with rosalind's fake male self. silvius [alex] is in love with phebe. orlando gets banished or something, too and then comes to an agreement with boyrosalind to practice wooing real rosalind with boyrosalind. they do that for a while.
then orlando saves oliver from a lion, but is injured and can't go to her that day. oliver is reformed and comes to tell them. celia falls in love with him. thennnn rosalind convinces everyone to get married on the same day, tricks phebe into marrying silvius and reveals herself. and the bad duke repents and goes to a monastery. jaques [dave] decides to join him. the good duke can have the kingdom back and they all live happily ever after.

oh and they're setting it in a super modern world. lots of technology-loss related physical gags when they go to the forest. (no cell reception! horror!) steve's got a concept that's something like: get off of facebook and have face time. but i think he wants a more clever way of wording it.

haha. thank you :) and i love designing shirts, i just think it's crazy that i'm doing so many/really sad that i'll be missing out on all the cool things the shirts are for. i really wish i had gotten to asm this show for you. it sounds awesome. and i love steve's concept. i've been wanting them to do something like this for awhile and now i'm going to miss it :(

oh and i kinda have a cool idea for the shirts thanks to your synopsis. where is steve setting the show? and i can't wait to see how kristi interprets this into a poster :)

ps, why is there a one before the synopsis in your comment?

[3ducker1culter4]

the one is there because i started writing something, lost my train of thought, and did not proofread.
the court is a modern city like thing... there are giant city "gates" that are solid and meant to look like blue glass of a skyscraper. then the gates open up into woods, which are arches of tree things. did you see the model? it's REALLY good. best kb's done since translations forsure.

[slightlylost9]

yess. i did see the model. it just slipped my mind. and i loved it! i agreed with your comparison to the translations set. another reason i'm sad i won't be there. hmm... hopefully i'll get you a shirt design soon. i think liz will be my go between with holy shirt! (i already asked her about helping with tmfset stuff so maybe we can do both at once.)
