Time is almost up. Fringe is here, it opened tonight in the Nati. Wow. How did I get into this?
I'm maybe a little bit scared. We added two elements to the show tonight that I had almost forgotten about. Well, one I had completley forgotten about. But, it's kind of good to do that. It guarantees a little extra energy to push you through to opening night. Anyway, that's what I'd say if I was directing. As it is, it's two more things for me to worry about. As if I didn't have enough, since our tech was pretty much a disaster. I'm pretty sure I'm going fall off the platform. It's the walking backwards part that'll do it. So, I have two big problems. I may die, and even if I don't I'm going to look timid as hell. Alas and alack.
It's been a harried process getting this show together. The worst part of it, I think, has been the fact that Dave and I have been doing it primarily on our own. We've had great help at some moments (John, Ian, Dan, Brant, Acacia). But, for the most part, there hasn't been anyone to turn to when we've been tired or scared or too busy with other things to make this a priority. For that reason, I do miss the Group.
On the other hand, it's my turn to get my picture in the paper. Woo-ha!
Just kidding.
I'm really excited to open tomorrow. I hope some people are there to see it. I hope you are.
