Show went well

Well, the show last night went better than planned. Despite all the problems, it seemed like the general audience enjoyed it. The first show was bigger than the second, but it seemed like the performers were ready to stop anyway. I'm just happy that I don't have to work with some of the people again. Jakob and Brad did well with their fight; although the first performance went better than the second one. Jakob did his dance stuff on que as well.

The only thing that went wrong was I dislodged a few fingers on my right hand when the costume rack went bonkers. Story goes that the costume rack was only supposed to have 15-20 lbs of clothing on it and we overloaded it a bit. The first time it cracked was when we were trying to get it in the elevator. I felt something in my hand kind of pop but didn't think anything of it right then because I've hyper-extended my fingers before and that is all it felt like. But then we were moving it into the room that we were going to stage everyone out of and we didn't see the vent in the middle of the floor (who puts a vent in the middle of the floor?!) and it caught on that and there was a loud snapping noise that made me turn around and I saw the rack coming down so I reached out to stop it and that wasn't a good idea. The rack was heavy and came down wrong on my hand. When everything was over, I was on the floor with the costume rack on my hand and my pointer finger on my right hand pointing the wrong direction. I was able to pop it back into place, but that was a really rough night for me. I still had to costume everyone and trying to tie a bow with your ring and pinkie fingers is really different. I taped everything together, but it was still a rough night.

But my marathon day is over and now I've got another project to work on, but while I'm working on that I've got to get ready for my new "teaching" post . . . elementary physical education. Yeah, it isn't teaching as much as instructing. This should be interesting.
