end of summer

It's strange, the weather's gotten colder, the sunlight's lessening,
it's reflecting the end of the festival. It's only the second day
from the end and we've deconstructed past where we were when I arrived
the first day. I should have a chance to put up pictures within the
next week, so I promise you'll get a look at it all, the theater
spaces anyway. Anyway, it's kind of a comforting feeling, autumn's
coming, already fewer people, everything's much calmer. At the end of
the day it feels like it's time to go home and curl up in blanket with
a book instead of going out and seeing shows and partying. Of course
there will be one last big party on Friday.

Nearly time to get back to work, but I have to let you all know what's
next: Over the month I've become good friends with Cho-in Theater
Company, the Korean group that was in -1. A week or so ago their
director offered me a job with them as a lighting designer and, after
working out what I'd need to do in terms of visas and plane tickets, I
accepted. So on Sept. 8th I leave for Seoul, arriving on the 9th,
flying through Dubai. Cool, I get to see the UAE, briefly, and I'll
cover those last few lines of longitude between Varanasi and Chong
Qing. All right, sounds like they're moving steel deck again.
