Heart....
They're @ The Orpheum tomorrow. And, I'm show crew for Heart... Setting up the show & running spot.
I'm always amazed when great old bands are still together. When I heard them in the 80's they were a slightly older prog metal band that my friends cool MILFY mom's listened to on CFOX when I was in the last stages of elementary school. in...

Nixon In China
Sounds like a political Alt punk band name... A quick day off of paying bills and then... The First opera of the 2010 season starts loading in tomorrow.
I love working in the big house on the big opera. Especially after working a bunch of shows there through the Olympics ( I spoke to a guy in a wheelchair today while in...

Thank you for your words. It is really great insight. Today will be ane xperience, that's for sure. One that I hope to come out of wiser and stronger than I'm going in.
I also hate goin to the movies alone. Which is why I never end up seeing anything good in theaters. I wait for them to come out to rent... I did see shutter Island in theaters- I went with mom. Apparently she's my date fir most things these days. There's a lot more I feel like I'd do with my life if I had someone to do it with. Being alone is cathartic sometimes and sometimes it really just sucks.

I Could Sleep For Years....
I can feel the crash comming...I have this verge of a cold... Which I can kill with echenacia and continuing to work. I have to keep working. Thankfully, We go straight into " Nixon In China " and iI've been able to be AE throughout the Civics and just hang and focus rigs, my favourite thing to do in theatre....

Thanks for the sweetessage about Barney! I really felt like I needed the support yesterday since everyone in my real life thought I was dumb to be sad. Today is much better 
I'm with you on the wanting to travel, etc. I want out of here but money wise it's just not going to happen. Well I'm going to NC in July but that's not really a "vacation". And even if I dd have the fnds, I'd be too afraid and bored to travel alone. I can't even bring myself to go to the theater alone!
Lately I have been feeling lonely and wishing there was someone here to counteract that. But it is what it is. I'd rather be alone than with the wrong person

The F&*k#ng Olympics....
Are finally over... the last of the steel staging came down last night for us....Sure, changing the final numbers on march 1st strike day call. The same night that the Canadian team wins the gold and the closing ceromonies happens... Hundreds of thousands of local Blue Collar workers abandon their next day jobs and head down to Granville street to celibrate.

Best Olympic Day... So far.
Earlier this month I had to bail on working the opening Ceremony. The pay sucked anyway... but watching the show on the TV I kinda wished I'd stayed on... But, then again... I never would have met, and worked with Laurie Anderson and been in the presence of Lou Reed. So, things are kind of coolest - event - equaling...

Thanks for the critique-- point taken. No reasons to give, save that the obvious has to end up somewhere. The rest got given at the office.
Running Up That Hill....
I recently heard this song again... Sung by someone else..... A band I kinda like... but never got... till now.
Because the song... written and released when I was in High School. ( At my most confused about me.... about my desire... and how I never got women...) I just didn't LISTEN to....I couldn't identify with... Artsy girls that I carried...

Right On The Cusp....
The Worst thing about being the dispatcher is.... I can't smoke Pot.
Seriously the last time I tried I got all Paranoid that I'd missed a gig didn't dispatch a particular crew or that the person I'd sent to do exact thing that would royally F&*^K up and I'd end up holding the bag...
Other than the rare sleepy summer weekend...
