Well, OKAY! This is more like it, goddammit!
So, here was a stack o' tracks, some platters that matter, to get some some dip in my hip, some cut in my strut, and get me up and out and working. Unlike last week's lame-o ten, which was like being sung a lullaby covered in warm oatmeal.
Here's what got me going today:
1. "I'm Not in Love" - Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food
2. "Like Jimmy Reed Again" - The Yardbirds - Having a Rave Up
3. "El Groover" - El Vez - G.I.Ay Ay! Blues
4. "I Can't Turn You Loose" - Was (Not Was) - What Up, Dog?
5. "Oceanside" - The Super Stocks - Toes on the Nose
6. "Immigrant Song" - Led Zeppelin - Golden Years 01
7. "Mythological Sunday" - Friend - Tektites - Vol. 1
8. "You Better Stop" - Maltese - Ear-Piercing Punk
9. "Life in Mono" - Mono - Pure Moods III
10. "Sam Hall" - Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around
Yeah.
Yesterday, Berit and I brought a load of set pieces over to The Brick - a desk and pink rolling chair (formerly from That's What We're Here For), two endtable/mirror pieces, and two flats I scavenged from a hauling job the other day, which I can use as the basis for the two bookcases I need on the set. We were going to hang at the space longer and work on the set pieces -- Berit was sanding down the endtables and we bought some (pink) paint down the block at Klenofsky's on Metropolitan to put on them, but I had been mistaken about what was in the theatre that night. I thought Michael Gardner was having a rehearsal, which we could work around, but Qui Nguyen was still having his staged readings with Vampire Cowboys, so we had dinner from the Mexican joint and went home.
James, the house light designer, was there when I showed, and we went over what I was hoping for from the house plot, and it looks like I'm getting it -- both Michael and Glory, as it turns out, are planning to light their shows, as I am, almost entirely with practicals, so that's definitely being set up (what is it about Havel plays that brings out the desire to light them with onstage lamps?). Glory's set designer was there, and I guess had put together the set to look at it and was breaking it down efficiently (thank goodness) to a small footprint in the backstage (the size and shape and place I was planning to take up, but no prob, I grabbed a spot right next to them).
So, I have to run out and get groceries for the weekend before Kosher Palace closes, and then we're back off to The Brick to work on set things. Last night I also made up a list of all set/prop items needed for the whole show -- what we have, what we need, what we need to build, buy, or (hopefully) find -- and sent it to the cast for their double-checking and possible help. I need to do the same thing tonight with costumes (I started last night but got too tired).
Onward.
