I'm in the show, and so far, so good.
Right now I'm doing 2 hours of makeup (that'll get faster soon, I'm still learning all 35 steps
), 10 minutes of wig prep, 15 minutes of getting into costume (most rigged up costume EVER.... un-fucking-believeable!), and 5 minutes of harness stuff. This comes out to 2 1/2 hours of preperation for *drum roll* 2 MINUTES of actual performance.
Should I complain? No. I get show pay for 2 minutes of work. Will I complain? YES! I prefer to be busy than bored.
*bitching, over*
Otherwise, life is good. Cirque Du Soleil took the cast of Ka (my current show) and the cast of Mystere (my former show of 3 years) to San Francisco to see Corteo. (a new CDS show) It was like a school reunion for me. SO many friends, old and new, worlds combining, booze consuming, life living. It was great! Corteo is BEAUTIFUL! Really, I loved it! I prefer it to Varekai, Alegria, O, Zumanity, Ka, La Nouba, and though I feel guilty saying it.... even Mystere.
San Francisco was INVADED with Cirquies. We were everywhere! Hundreds of foreign circus folk ravaging the city in their drunken stupor. It was great.
Some guy called me a midget and was surprised when I flipped him off. He tried to defend himself by asking if a black guy could rightfully call another black guy a "nigga". I reminded him that he was tall and white and asked him to try and make sense. He then told me that he was a San Fran native and was totally accepting of the gay scene. Once again sir.... Whats your point? You called me a midget, stay on topic.
I asked him if he might want to walk up to a couple of my friends who were standing near by, Simon (who is quite dark and from Africa) and Ross (who is British and gay) and prove his right to call people stupid shit. I suggested that he try and call them Niggers and Fags and report back with the details of how it went over.
Seriously people. Am I supposed to giggle?
My apologies for the poorly written update... I'm too tired to fix it.
