obligatory alice by heart post
my tech issues #mytechissues
shoegate
this one was scary but not the worst scary. alice's shoe fell apart... and on hand we had broken glue guns that wouldn't spit out glue and wood glue. so i shitty sewed the box of the shoe back but then the sole was still an issue! felt bad that day, because it was all lumpy (badly placed "hot" glue and globs of wood glue), but the issue was solved in the end the next day with fabri-tac. yay!
dressgate
this one was scarier. because of the sheer fabric, there was no real way to sew it back prettily (and the gathers?!) but it worked out in the end. but visible stitches on closing night,,, eek
lightgate
this one was REALLY SCARY. on the 11.15 show i think, the lights randomly turned off during preshow and this was AFTER two of our eight mics went down too so everyone's already stressed and then the lights are down too?? not sure how this fixed itself but there were no issues after. just scary.
micgate
literally not even my issue but this one was STRESSFUL. im shaking my head as i write this currently just thinking about it. initially i had around five mic changes on my hands, which was scary because i .. had not ever touched a mic before. but it was fine! and then we went from an 8 mic plot for the 11 person cast where everyone sings to a 6 mic plot (changes upped to 6 now...) to 5 by closing (kind of better?! had only 2 changes this run). Ok.
flamingo-tea-party-gate
this is when my lack of exercise and stick arms really killed me because tell me why pushing wood blocks through curtains was that hard. sequence of ALARM cot three blocks raiser now follow me, i followed you TRANSITION. EEK.
curtaingate
evil curtain. evil curtain. ts pmo
tablegate
least scary issue by the time my goat elizabeth had fixed them. but was concerning earlier... the legs were too flush with the leg extensions that the angle was incredibly particular (especially after the cots had settled during runs) that the tea party transition would just never work. but they were fixed!

- waddles stickers to give to a friend
- faber castell pencil
