Called Aaron today to give him the condo phone number, and to make sure he knew we
were here and rarin’ to go. Found out that the Hideout, which is where we’re performing
Monday through Thursday, changed the layout of the theatre. Aaron told them that this
was bad, since we couldn’t possibly fit the sets in there. So, tomorrow (Sunday)
they’re re-vamping the theatre again back to the way it was when the contracts were
signed for all this. Some of our folk may go to the Hideout, and help with
this – which will also give them a chance to scope the place out.
We ended up, due to not really having any real lines
of communication, combined with the fact that some folk needed some “flake” time,
mostly not showing up for any performances. Anne met up with some friends of hers
locally, and went out to go see shows, and hang out with them.
We had everyone but Michael and Iana (seemed silly
to make them drive out here) at our condo to have lunch and discuss “plans”.
We’ve decided that each day around 10:30am we’ll get together, discuss what people
want to do that day, and then we can head out from there. This is because some
folk may want to see performances (there are some in the daytime) and some may
want to do workshops, some may want to come into town later in the day.
Michael and Iana may see shows this evening, and
Anne and her friends are going too.
I spent a bit of time online today to look at
the workshops, and some of them are REALLY interesting looking (including one
two-day (two-part) workshop ...). I was getting details for those morning meetings ...

Taking it really easy today.
Did a store run to get groceries and such. I
forgot the USB cable to attach my digital camera to my laptop. Figures.
I couldn't find a cable to replace it either. Bum rap. I ended up buying
a cheap camera and film to give me the flexibility I wanted. Oh well.
I'll probably just get the pictures developed to CD at Bay Photo.
People are tired and fried. The nice thing
though is that everyone is realizing that if we treat this like a vacation,
then we'll all be better for it and able to deal with each other without getting too
crazy.
We had a planning meeting and decided that the best
thing to do would be to get together every morning at 10:30 to decide what we
are doing for the day. (My idea and I'm glad I got it out. I think it
will help people stay sane.)
There is some stuff to be done tonight at the
festival, but I want the down time to settle in. Staying in to do dinner and
probably will end up playing Chez Geek. <G>
Later -
Yup. Played Chez Geek. Also ended up writing new
Chez Geek cards based on GSP/SCA stuff. We may even print up the cards and
play a round or two with them. Mostly we did it because it was funny.
I have a feeling that Chez Geek is going to be a
life saver for some of us.<G> For those of you interested in what Chez Geek
