Asking for it AGAIN
filed under: Idle ChatterWe took a week+ down in Charlotte with the folks, for a much needed decompression period. Max discovered to his delight that the front patio at my parents' house becomes strewn with toads around dusk. "This is TOAD LAND!" he shouted, chasing them with a flashlight. "How did there get to be SO MUCH TOAD in ONE LITTLE YARD?!"
Arrived back on Monday, and headed straight into production for ASKING FOR TROUBLE. Yesterday's tech rehearsal was somewhat impeded by my discovery, fifteen minutes before we were supposed to tech 11 short plays in 1/2 hour time slots each, that the lighting plot bore no resemblance whatsoever to the rep plot that was supposed to be in place, and that I would instead have to improvise a new plot, re-focus 3/4 of the lights and start tech an hour late.
Still, by 1/2way through we were back to only 10 minutes behind, and we got through it all. Graeme and I even made it home by 3:15am, which is not that bad for an Asking For Trouble tech.
The show runs tonight, tomorrow and Saturday, at 7pm (212-247-4982 x20 for reservations) and is only $10, which as Graeme pointed out comes to $0.91 per new play. Not too bad.
It also gave me an excuse to flex my photoshop skillz, resulting in the below. Enjoy.
How did there get to be so much toad and so little poster in one little blog space?

Nice try, Mama-San. I can fake it now (I did the credits in Illustrator, even!) but for the real stuff you're still on the hook. You're the only graphic designer I know who'll work for sushi.
