09-25-21 Workshop and a game
Up and at it to be at the Studio early to be sure all was good for the Set-Design Workshop. I can’t begin to explain what an amazing day it turned out to me. 11 of us had the privilege of being instructed in the made skill of all things set related by Gene Leveque. He even made us cute little gifts to take away as a souvenir. Afterward some of us walked over to the Heidout for bevies and snacks and a great further chat. To have spent the day among like minded friends learning to make models, to interpret the script into the setting for magic, to talk about all things not gossipy, was amazing!! When I asked Gene where he was before Winfield, he said he grew up in Kimberley. I asked how old he was and when he said 80, I mentioned that he may know my step-Mom as she was the same age. He said he did remember her, that they were in the same grade. Once again, that lovely small world experience!
After getting back to my vehicle, I drove up to Bill and Deannes and she had kindly picked up my season tickets and Parking pass for the Bucks games. We walked down to the game and enjoyed a 3-1 Final against the Trail Smoke Eaters. It was fun to be there with the Fam and Sawyer talked me into a sleep over. By the time we walked back to the car and got home it was around 10, way past his bedtime. He went to bed easily thank goodness. He has also promised to climb into bed with me and watch TV if he’s up too early.
When I arrived at Bill and Deannes I saw that they are tearing down their garage/shed/playhouse in anticipation of the builders starting on the new one. I instantly asked Duncan, the Director of the show in February that I am producing, if he thought we could use the siding for our set and he was down with that so we made a plan to meet at 10:30 in the morning to begin stripping and denailing. It feels so synchronistic!
Sorry that was one long run on sentence, lol.
I hope your day was as unstressed as mine was!!!
