Surprise! It’s holiday time!
As posted last time, Fall has been a constant flow and no days off. I figured I would finally get to have a break just after Thanksgiving – finish my corporate gig, come back to Fairfield U for the second show of the season for a week and a half, and then rest.
70 days straight with no days off…that’s rough no matter how you slice it.
(That second show at FU was a success, and was the first show the program ever took out to another theatre for a bit of a road show! Not a real tour, but I love touring so I was happy to guide them through the process.)
But then Fairfield Ludlow high school called me, needing a lighting designer for their holiday concert! So I have been trucking along, still without a break, doing lighting for this show as well as some light video projection. I figured my January 3rd date with Power of Love is coming up fast, so why not use this as a chance to test out some new technology. OSC control over VDMX is what I’m currently playing with.
I’ve been bouncing back and forth between here and FU, which are mercifully only a half mile away from each other, and 15 minutes from my home. Just gotta hold on until Christmas. THEN I can sleep!
