My theater tech life

Jun 26, 2009 13:44

Last night, I had a rather interesting night of doing theater tech at IB. Instead of our normal Thursday lineup, we are hosting the first Queer Qomedy Festival (no, that's not a typo). I have to say that working last night was pretty darn awesome. The stand-ups and the drag queens were not only a joy to watch and to work with, but it was fun, ( Read more... )

no such thing as too late

Sure there is. I could be dead. :-p

there's always time.... catch it.

manley1 June 26 2009, 18:46:23 UTC

Indeed. Tempus fugit, carpe diem, and what not. :-)

I am sure there's more. :)

You know I'm the Devil, right? Like, for serious.

I see you as both the devil and the angel on my shoulder. :-)

Good thing you're so buff, and I'm so short.

some performers are insane talking piles of douche

You misspelled "all".

manley1 June 26 2009, 21:19:02 UTC

I also misspelled "people" as "performers." How careless of me.

Mark, I think this is my favorite post ever of yours. You know what this sort of reminded me of? Remember the episode of The Wonder Years where Kevin and Paul got jobs as light techs for Winnie's play, and Paul got sick, and Kevin had to run the spotlight, holding her up? That's sort of you, right now. You are the glue that holds these productions together, and it's important work.

I'm so glad you're finding your level in theater and in life. This makes me so happy.

Awww. Thanks!

And that's when Kevin complimented me on my work and I knew that I had achieved something. It was turning point in my life, a moment whose significance would stick me for years to come.

LOL! For reals! HA HA HA HA fun!

And hearing that voice over again reminded me of the last time that voice over gag got used. Over and over and over again.
