More staff members have shown up today, so the “space wars” continue. Also, the video screen ripped, so that has thrown off the time schedule for everybody. The only place to work on the screen is on top of the stage, where everyone else needs to be working. This was an unforeseen event, however, so people have been keeping their tempers under control and just finding other areas to get some side projects completed. We have to get four separate shows ready anyway so there are plenty of things to be working on.
Once we painted the stage floor gray, the powers that be decided to make it a darker color. So we had to speckle it with other paint on top of the gray. We made up two pails of watered down paint, one blue and one darker gray. I felt like I was feeding chickens, by trying to broadcast little drops of paint over a wide area. At the end of the process, Zach, Jeff, BJ and I were covered head to toe with blue/gray measles. The floor looked pretty decent though, so the idea worked.
