The Last 10 Days
10:02PM, February 18th, 2007
Four performances. Three days. Months of rehearsal. A few hundred audience members. All on a desert island inhabited by hungry cannibals.
Except for the last bit (we were fed an abundance of lollies), this signals the end of the concert. As usual, such a delight of fun both backstage and on stage. I got to do a few songs I had done before and a few new ones. I got my name in the program as Musical Director alongside Tim, even though it was he who did most of the work.
The backstage behaviour forms quite an unusual bond; a group of people who meet for the purpose of running through the (hopefully, but not always) same motions each performance, and trying to laugh as much as possible when not on stage.
While last night when I came home to scrape the makeup from my skin (caked on from two shows), it felt like we’d been doing the show for a month, when we finally settled down after the show tonight it felt like we’d stopped just as we got started.
Oh well, no time for post show blues, I have another show to continue work on, a new student to tutor and uni starts back in one week’s time.

It’s always good to be able to sit back and admire your handiwork when it’s all over and done with. Enjoy the lull between now and Uni.

Troy - Thanks! I’m in love with this dingy old lens. I should also thank Chae for his photographic contribution. He took the lower two shots.
Kass - I promise I applied the eyeliner. Maybe I accidently applied it to my finger instead? Thanks to you for never having to race around desperately trying to find props!
Kevin - Thanks. It’s not much of a lull, but I’ll try.

Bless me Father for I have sinned. It is quite some time since my last confession. I have sinned by thinking a man wearing a nun’s habit looked quite cute dressed up as a woman. Please Father, pray for him in the hope he doesn’t do it permanently!

James - Sneaking in with a late comment, aren’t we? I wonder if my resume and headshot to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence got lost in the mail?

Just wanted to say that I wish the show went for longer than one weekend. Some bits (the bits you weren’t in) weren’t so hot but everything you did was fantastic. Love your work. :) And a historical quote from the dark ages of our friendship… “Tyson rocks!”
