Spam...Spam...Spam...
I've been very busy the past few days... I got a call to replace the IA touring Spot Op on Spamalot. Who are here in town for another week. The guy had a funeral to go to and that last minute replacement gigs is something I like to do. You know... run in and be the hero sort of thing. And it was a chance to get back inside a theatre that used to be union but now isn't. A chance to see how the other half live.
I had to memorize 26 pages of spot cues and run 70% of them myself ( and call the other 30% for the other two spot ops...) thankfully I said unless I was going to be filling in FT I wasn't going to go that far. Especially sice the other girls on the other two spots were already three weeks ahead of me.
So, for the last weekend I've been living, breathing and shitting Spamalot. Three shows into training I was calling the spot cues back to the guy. And on my solo flight I hit 95% of the cues ( It's always the ones you did at the start well... they fake you out and next thing you know your light is flailing all over the theatre. ) I'm pretty impressed with myself... I think this bodes well for the future.

You need some wind-down time on SG to mellow you out.
