Somehow I forgot just how much of a pain the ass it is to tear down and set up a trailer-full of equipment several times in an evening.

The show itself went well – a reasonable performance I think, no real technical problems, a decent stage & sound system, and a supportive audience. You can’t ask for much more than that.

I owe a debt of gratitude to quite a few people for helping make this happen. Van, who programmed the lights & video and assisted with the live arrangements, Chris & Lisa for help and words of encouragement along the way, Anne for coping with my mood swings and general grousing about the live show…all without resorting to the use of either duct tape and rope -or- a blunt instrument of any kind… Ilana for reminding me that once I’d finished rehearsals I had to actually book the show somewhere. And of course Eric for offering ARF a slot in his record release event.

So now the next step is to get this production stuffed into a van and out to a few cities. Should be interesting; traveling thousands of miles a week is another thing I haven’t done for a while…
