collisionwork | A Rushed Friday Morning Thing (Reply)

The reading of The Confidence Man last night went fine - smaller audience than we'd hoped, and a lot less reactive than when we last did it -- Danny Bowes reminded me that it was April 1, 2007 in Coney Island, and that the show had run about three hours with no intermission that time - yikes! - it was almost 2 hours 30 minutes last night.

B & I are off very shortly for an all-day dry tech to have Penny Dreadful Episode 10 ready for tomorrow. It's a big, complex one, with a cast of 21 and two entirely different "mini-episodes" within it. And lots o' tech. And I return, acting, as George Westinghouse (so I've already shaved my beard back to the Westinghouse chops, which also worked well for the Melville reading last night).

The video of Episode 8, for those watching or catching up online, is now online HERE. Saturday night's performance of Episode 10 is sold out, but there are still some tickets available for the Sunday matinee.

Quick Friday Random Ten -- if I get a chance later tonight, I'll try and put some links to the music in there (but I don't think I'll find links to too many of these songs . . .):

2. "She's My Baby" - Mazzy Star - So Tonight That I Might See

Here, Hooker and Moni enjoy their current "favorite spot," one of their oddest - on the arm of, and endtable next to, the sofa, as Berit computes . . .

Hooker in another favorite spot that gets him scolded and squirted with the water bottle - rolling around on the power cords for the computers and A/V equipment . . .
