Why I am so busy, a theory in a narrative
Oct. 12th, 2008 01:34 amI went into today completely dreading it. By Friday afternoon I was looking at a Saturday that involved me driving parleys canyon at least three times. Things took a turn for the worst when arriving at my parents house in Park City I find that my house key no longer provide access to the top two levels of the house. Another piece of bad news comes from my email, I now have to find time to swing by the Egyptian to look at a piece of equipment that is all sorts of funky. So really I felt quite justified in dreading it.
I end up leaving the house at 830 to swing in the Eccles theatre a couple of minutes early for the 9am call. The load in starts and after a few hours I find I am having a fun time. the road crew is fun and knows what they are doing. By 1pm when I done helping with load in. In the intervening 4 hours I had helped upload the semi and got to play with some new LED lighting fixtures in addition to focusing. After leaving the Eccles I head across town to the Egyptian to look at the broken equipment. I decide to fix it by wiping its memory and reloading it. The thing starts working fine. By the time I finish with that the crew is finished their preshow and I head with one of them to get coffee before I head down the mountain.
First off let me say I was surprised of how warm a reception I received at the Egyptian. Anyway, on the way to cows to get coffee the discussion turned to religion. I mentioned that I still consider myself a christian. Kat, how I was walking with, said he considered me a Buddhist because of how calm I am. This statement took me aback. And is still echoing around my brain giving me ample things to think about.
So I continued down the mountain and headed to my internship/rehearsal at Plan B theatre company. For those that that don't know I got a internship at Plan B as a live folly artist(just google it) for the month of October. This internship is becoming more and more something that I am greatful to be doing. I learning a whole new things, ideas and philosohpies about theatre and sound design that I have never consider before. The rehearsal lasted for five hours, it was the first time I ran the show with a cast. It was 8pm when it finished. After that I picked up a coworker and headed back to park city for the load out at the eccles.
After the day was done, I realized what I had been dreading was nothing more then me over thinking the day. I loved that I was exposed to many different things and types of theatre in a single day.
Random Stuff:
The opening of the new RSL stadium was amazing and glorious and only sullied by the result of game.
