Can I just crawl into a hole and hide until November? Too much stress, not enough volunteers.
Saturday and Sunday actually had decent volunteer turnout, though we didn't get enough useful hands in the main room to set up the walls. Only about half of 'em got up. I thought Matt had helpers, but apparently they kept wandering off.
Pretty much everything else is built, though. Except for TC, who decided he wanted to build a station for his character instead of using a tent.
TC rocks. And he's a scary dude. If he can't make the guests freak, nobody can.
The faces for the room are awesome -- I have pictures, and will take more once they are installed. I have a gory arm that is totally amazing, and the lifelike arm is good too.
I need to make fingers and paint up the dissection leg.
I have a speech to give tomorrow (which I still have to prepare for) and a final Thursday. I can barely concentrate, though, with trail hanging over my head.
I still have about five or six roles to fill (dress rehearsal and MEDIA NIGHT on the 16th... today is the 11th). More for the second weekend (some of my folks can only come the first weekend, because of a HUGE SCA anniversary event).
One of my actors (awesome guy) got cast for a movie and had to bow out. One experienced guide is being sent to Shanghai -- he'll be gone both weekends. Good timing, guys. It's not like his company didn't know about this, and he had the time set aside for guiding.
It's almost like the universe is conspiring against me.
The lighting and sound is starting to go in tonight, if we can find our tub-O'-extension cords. My sound guy has come up with some great background sounds, too. Ryan is awesome. All of my people are awesome, the ones that are coming. The best.
5 days, 9 hours, 47 minutes, and 7 seconds until First Run.
