Opening Night

Finally, a great picture of my chins! Left to right: ME!, Marc (drums), Nick (guitar), Ed (bass)

We got rained out. If there is rain the show does a "rain show" where there is less dancing and more band feature stuff because we are covered and the dancers would fall and hurt themselves. But we have been so rushed to even do a normal show that we had no rain show plans. So we just got cancelled. So the entire cast and crew of the Medora musical did a "bar crawl" of the two bars in Medora.

Gerry my lovely flamboyant southern gentleman and Trish the..... something director, it escapes me at the moment, but she is really cool!

I really am very happy with the cast and crew. I have had nothing but good happy experiences, with one notable exception. We have all been putting between 10 and 18 hour days so for me to say that everyone is laid back and cool is amazing. Someone should have yelled by now (someone has but I shall talk about that when it has been resolved). I am very fond of Curt the director and Sandy the musical director. Last night sandy took a picture of he and I in the bar together to send to Paul (the guy who got me the job). He read me the text he sent with it and it said "she is perfect and we love her." I was so flattered I was kind of at a loss for words. I think I just screeched "awwwwww!!!!" It should be noted that having Sandy think highly of me is so flattering because he is REALLY good at his job and seems to have his life together. I'm starting to feel a little like he is the older brother I already have two of.

Today we have a luncheon where we sort of meet and great so I got up early and got my hair and face all did up. It's kind of fun being a sort of celebrity here. People love the show and being in it means you are instantly liked. I also for the first time experienced the oil worker phenomenon last night. There are lots of lonely guys so I got chatted up a LOT last night. I foresee this happening all summer. But hey, it's good for my ego (like I need help with that) and I am always out with the boys in the band so I am totally safe.

I am just really happy to be here so far. This was absolutely the right decision for me. Check out the tv ad here:  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=598983357009
