What a weekend

This weekend was fun, albeit long. I was asked to do the costumes for a film entitled "Capital Punishment". I read the script and since the costumes were easy, I did it. They filmed up in Northern Utah, which for me is at least a 2 hour drive, so when they said the call time was 6:30am, I realized that I had to get up a 4am to get on the road by 4:30am to make it to that call time. And that was Saturday and Sunday. Long days, but I had fun. Most people don't realize that if you're not acting, lights, directing, or camera operator you have the "hurry up then wait" syndrome. You have to get everyone and everything ready before hand while people are telling you to hurry up because they are needed on set and then once they are on set you are just waiting until someone needs a touch-up or wardrobe fix. Other then that, you have a lot of time on your hands.

The other thing is my dad's work had a party on Saturday night. I wasn't able to make the food section, but I was able to make everything else. It was fun. We were able to see some of the dancers that we worked with at the performance a few saturdays ago. It was nice to be able to see them in their element. They also had some dancers/performers from the Broadway Stomp come and perform. They did pretty well. There was one girl that I wasn't too fond of. All she would really do was a few flips. The street dancing wasn't all that good. But there were some amazing performers. I'll see if I can get the video posted. I took a little bit of video, not from the best angle, but at least I had something.

This week is going to be interesting to say the least. I've actually got time for myself in the afternoons. Jakob is at rehearsals this week so I'm a theater widow once again. He's in Antigone which will be going up at UVU within the next month or so. I'm not too sure of the dates, but once I have them, I'll post them.

Well, my dear, my husband is at the same place your husband is, so when you have time on your hands I'd absolutely love it if you came over and hung out. We can watch movies and eat. :)

Theater widow. Yes. I need to adopt that term. I have been a theater widow for about 4 months now. Oh way, make that 7 years. Haha.

I rented Ladies in Lavender. I LOVED it!
