"That man is on stilts! Oh wait, those are just his legs."

The EVVY Majestic show is tomorrow. Production week has flown by, and I'm not as tired as I was on Tuesday and Wednesday. The safety meeting was on Monday, and of course, as one of the managers of the Majestic is emphasizing the fact that we CANNOT eat or drink anything, even water, in the house, Kevin Bright strolls across the stage, drinking a bottle of water. (That sentence had a lot of commas in it, sorry.) Dave said that that was going to be the only funny thing KBright did all week, and sure enough, later he made a Friends comment that even I groaned at.

Tuesday was load in and I think it was the fastest load in of the EVVYs. It was the fastest one I've ever been a part of, anyway. We had most of the equipment in place by the first day, so Wednesday was a lot of running cables and making sure things worked. The tech team is awesome and there are so many innuendos that come out of running cable ("Just push it through the hole." "Come on, I just need a few more inches!") and with tech in general (there's some kind of audio thing that's called a butt plug), so having down time sucked but doing actual work wasn't too bad. We also get to use $900 walkie talkies, so we look badass running around the Maj and the Tufte building. On Wednesday I fell asleep in one of the windows on the 9th floor of the Tufte building. Oops. It was Jake's birthday on Wednesday, so we had Boston Market in the Common for lunch and had a cake and sang happy birthday to him...over walkie. I love tech nerds.

Our "tech office" is one of the dressing rooms in the Maj, and we've taken over the group dressing room across the hall and set up Guitar Hero. I think we played for six hours yesterday.
