Great rehearsals the past couple of days. Tonight really kicked ass for me. It was the first time we actually ran through the entire show. I wasn't really nervous about the ending, because I've been working on some of it for longer than anything else in the show. But, it's important, and the show felt incomplete in my mind without a sense of how we were going to do it, how it was going to feel and sound.
So, we rocked all the way until the end. It was fun. The show ran 50 minutes and it actually feels worthwhile, like it has value. I knew I wouldn't be caught dead doing something I didn't believe in, but there was some question of if I would ever be convinced that someone might enjoy watching this show. So, I'm saying it here for the whole world to read - "I think this show has value. I think it's worth seeing. Some of you may even enjoy it." So ... there.
Seriously, it's a good feeling. I've had a weird sort of tension on my left side the past week and I wondered if my heart was having problems or if it was the manifestation of some larger issue. Well, I'm pretty convinced now that it was the manifestation of a smaller issue, that issue being the show. I've got very, very little tension right now, and I think it's because I'm feeling so good about the show. Tomorrow of course, when I face trying to remember all those words in front of people, it'll be a different story, I'm sure I'll be tense as hell (in fact, I'm getting pretty tense right now just thinking about it). Anyway ... onward.
I wonder if anyone's coming tomorrow.
Oh, I know more people read the whole thing if there are pictures at the end. So, here are a couple of crappy cell phone pictures of Dave's (AKA sound designer extraordinaire AKA DJ Easy D) rehearsal set-up. Enjoy!
