I picked up Aiden before 8 and we headed to the theatre for a lighting workshop. Kris Aasen has the experience and was brought down from Edmonton to teach us. Thanks to a Christie Lights donation he brought a second board so we could let everyone have opportunity to be hands on. There was a lot of information but it was super educational and I saw some lights go on in peoples eyes as it clicked.
While we were at it I was able to nail down the details for the tech for the upcoming show. I will be rehanging and designing on the fly with Trevor and Sanjay next weekend. During lunch break Aiden and I tried out the Aurora Borealis projector which works great except that it only has about a 4 foot range for the remote. I or someone else will have to lie down back of the tree line and turn it in and off during the show. At the end of the session I as able to get advice from Kris about the lights, which to keep, etc. I then spoke to Trevor to find he is not going to be involved with CCT for a while. I am sorry for him but feel the pain. I will continue to do what I promised I would. It did my heart good when Director Bob reached out for answers. That is respectful to go right to the source and I appreciate him.
As Aiden and I were leaving I heard a joyous shout of my name and it was Shea in his first car. Gosh I remember that joy. His 2009 Camry is my 1972 Dodge Colt. The freedom and complete joy of your first ride is a brain scar. I was so moved by his joy that I just hugged him and forgot to take a picture. I did take ones of the sky when I went to pick up food from Family Thai for Rae and I. The western states are sharing their misery. We had to cancel our outdoor movie and bbq as the smoke is too thick to enjoy outdoors.
I did stop to check on the Renos at the Campbells and not only did Diane give me her gift certificate to Family Thai but she had picked me up a fabulous picture! Have to find the perfect spot to hang it. had a quick visit as well wit( Danika and Emmy. Don’t get enough of those.
Rae and the three younger boys came over as we planned to watch the new Mulan. I’ve never seen the cartoon one and I liked it. The awkward thing is Rae called first to make sure I would be comfortable as all three boys went to a young friends birthday that was supposed to be family and a couple friends only since they have a new baby in the house. Turns out there were at least 32 people there and they even had a piñata and used a shared bandana for an eye mask. Very irresponsible. I said they could still come but we put to practice social distancing and I sprayed and wiped everything down after they left. Sawyer said the night was sooo special.
EDIT: it wasn’t his first car lol
