Ok, not really. But rehearsing for and performing the Frontier Frenzy show has consumed most of my time here. the rest is relaxation and hanging with the awesomely awesome cast we got here.
In the beginning, days were filled with orientation interrupted by the Berklee World Strings' tour from NYC to DC to Jersey. Then it was back to the grind for 10am to 9pm rehearsals in the Dungeon of the Hershey Arena. Who can forget lunches at the Coaster Cafe? I sure can't...
Those blissful days were also filled with the bedroom all to myself. I remember arriving home every day and tentatively pushing my bedroom door open to peer through the crack at the other bed, hoping it was still sheetless and uninhabited by my then-unreachable-by-phone-or-email roommate. It was two weeks before we heard she didn't have to arrive until the last Wednesday in May, putting an end to my private evenings laying in bed all night.
Now that the intense rehearsals are over and the shows have begun, I have roughly 19 hours a day ALL TO MYSELF. This time should really be used for some String Rev cleanup, and I plan on getting on that. First step: listen to the audio CD of the Passim show, edit it, distribute it to all performers, and post it.
Second step: update all sheet music in folder for String Rev and note what needs to be done for upgrades.
Third step: Expand library! And work on organizing more shows. Ivonne is still willing to do a String Rev/FAQ show together, but booking is the challenge. Who will hire us to perform and where? Buffalo contacts are a bust...
Ok break! Gotta sleep but will get on this shit soon...
