Alive and full of glitter
Because that is what Disney shows are all about. SRSLY.
And hey, if anyone wants to see Disney's High School Musical 2: On Stage!, tickets are REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY discounted right now!
Alive, working, TECHDAMMIT.
Tomorrow Isaac and I are going to see This in Davis Square. Who'll be with me?
And quickly: This weather SUCKS. Between my knee, my back, my ribs, I'm a cacophany of ever-shifting aches. Not to mention the migraines from the 13 degree Monday morning shift to 60 degree high on Wednesday, plus the rain and the ice and the sleet etc. GRR. Oh, and the girl issues, let's not forget the extra free additional bonus fun of those! (and for those of you playing along at home, round 5 of testing was still inconclusive. So now I need to go in for round 6.)
In more fun news, here are a bunch of quotes from work recently:
"I gotta go pee on a few sticks in the steel shop so no one else takes them." -Megan
G: My mom never wore make-up, I couldn't wear her clothes, so the only thing we had in common was this scent.
M: There's a script just WAITING to be written out of that statement.
S: No, a LifeTime movie.
M: Oh, totally!
S: With Stockard Channing!
"Oh look, there's glitter on it." -Collective
J: So what color are we painting this?
S: [cringing] Well, it's a tiki head so...rustic, um, wood...grain...
J: [glaring look of death]
S: Hey, I'm sorry, it's a frigging THEME this season!
Aly: So what would the theme for the "Aly and Steve" show be?
Steve: Like, theme music?
A: Yeah!
S: Mmmm...the Benny Hill music.
A: The...what?
S: You know - [singing] Daaaaaaaaaa da-da-da dah dah da-da-da-da dah dah da-da-da-da...
Peanut gallery member: Would there be scantily clad girls running around?
S: There should be!
A: Oh, I don't think there will be any of that!
Sarah: What's your catch phrase?
A & S: Oh shutthefuckup!
"Well, I may or may not have gotten a third degree burn on my lip. Yeah...when Hot Pockets tell you to 'allow to rest one full minute', they're serious about that shit." -Leighanne
"I think we need to make this a little more sturdy...I mean, ACTORS touch this." -general Prop Shop mantra
S: [looking at particularly gaudy costume piece] Wow, that's...certainly...a color.
P: Oh,...*sigh*...yeah...there's lots of those in this show.
And, a typical conversation regarding a note from the rehearsal report:
S: So they want to add a [insert name of prop here].
M: Which scene?
S: They don't say.
G: Who is it for?
S: Dunno.
***NOTE: One or more of the following questions may apply. This is only an EXAMPLE list and not meant to be a complete list of all the possible questions we'll need to ask to get it right the first time.***
-Did they happen to say if anyone picks it up?
-Does anyone sit on it?
-Is it for the big dance number?
-What color is it supposed to be? Does it have to match anything?
-Is it practical?
-Will it actually need to be played?
-How big?
-Is this an actor grip or a crew grip?
-Does she carry it in her purse? Or can we give her the big one we already have?
-Isn't that a question for costumes and wardrobe?
-Shouldn't that be under paints?
-Wait, wasn't scenic in charge of this?
-Wouldn't that be a sound note?
-Will that actually fit in the aisle?
-Does the designer know about this? Shouldn't we be asking HIM this question?
***this always ends with***
S: *sigh* I'll send an email.
