The day begin with a bagel and a vanilla latte with a pinch of cinnamon. I sat in the local Starbucks enjoying the day - checking emails - and one in particular really stood out. It was an email from the print company - saying "ATTENTION PLEASE CONTACT." I was hoping the email wouldn't say - we had a problem with all your show promotional materials because we need it NOW! So I cautiously opened the email and it said... "we had a problem with all your show promotional materials." I immediately contacted them, and they said 2 of the files were formatted wrong, and wouldn't print to their dimensions. No sweat-- i created them ( another little side thing i do- graphics) i was smart-- i emailed the files to myself- just in case this would happen. I created them on my MAC - which is a tower and wouldn't be able to bring to NY, so o converted to a pdf. well- I emailed myself the wrong- F%@#in& files! UGHHHHHHHHHH!!!! so I HAD TO START FORM SCRATCH!!! it took me from 9am - 5pm to fix the files. GREAT! It's done - so now i can email them the correct sizes, and have the materials sent over night... right? WRONG! The files were 2 big to go to their site! UGHHHHHHHHHH!!! Now they are closed. so i cant deal with this until tomorrow. i go to the bar next door to get a drink- b/c i need something a little stronger than coffee to calm my nerves. ( just a beer) it worked. So I meet the cast at Dallas BBQ in time square at 7pm to at before our 10pm rehearsal. Everyone made into NY safe, and was eager to get started on the reh process. We enjoy a nice dinner - then head over to 46th St to rehearse. Walk in all our packages have arrived! NICE! A immediately look at their instruments ( lights) b/c they play such a huge part in the mood of the play. I thought I would have to hang a few to get the specials I needed on actors - but every thing was positioned perfectly. The night is going well. we jump on stage an Begin to re block a few things ( stage has a weird shape) so I had to adjust a lot of the blocking. It was great. Everyone did their jobs-- I look at my watch and it says 11:15am -- I m like cool - we have lots of time until Thom ( actor in show ) whispers to me ... its almost 2. GEEZ! I'm still on LA time ( lol) but the guys didn't complain-- they were having fun. so i stopped the rehearsal at 2am. I forget I'm not in LA- and can drive everywhere-- I'm using the train system -- and this shit takes forever!!! I got in Jersey City at 4:45am - and have to be back in Manhattan at 8:30am for a meeting with one of the press agents. Ohhhhhhhh for the love of theater.
