In Japan again

So as it works out, we`re stopping in Nagoya for a night on our way to Europe.  The most important part of this is that it means nobody has a good reason not to be well-rested before our flight tomorrow, which is important because after we get in to Paris we`re probably going to have to drive straight to Avignon.

 

It also means that I`ll have a chance to meet up with a friend I met in Edinburgh last year who lives not too far away.  So it`s actually quite a nice little break after the craziness of the past few weeks, and especially the past week.  We had some fun in Singapore, but it was pretty much non-stop work for me.  Even after getting the show up and running I was still spending much of my free time working on press materials for Avignon and Edinburgh.  Not much fun.  But it`s done now.  I have one project left to finish up for Edinburgh, but that should be easy, so I should have a good deal more time to explore and do non-work stuff in Europe.  Seriously, except for a little hanging out after performances, the only free time I had in Singapore was from 4-8ish Monday evening.  Everyone else had already gone out to do stuff.  I just wanted to get out and see something besides the same few blocks we walked by every day, so I went for a walk in the other direction, got lost (basically on purpose) and then had to find everyone at a food court near the hotel.  I didn`t even get to use the pool in the hotel.

 

Anyway, it`s about time for us to get going.  Will write more and post pictures in Europe.

Logistical nightmares

Geez.  Really.  I have to move out of my apartment today.  We leave for Singapore tomorrow morning (early), and after we come back we only have a day before we leave for France.  So besides packing all my stuff up to move, I also have to pack up my stuff for Singapore and prep my stuff for Europe.  Oh, and I'm also nominally in charge getting all the company's stuff packed for Singapore.  Fortunately that's mostly taken care of.  And I also need to get all my stuff organized for tech and writing light cues, work out exactly which lights will be used when...   one last thing, coordinating the production schedule so the actors are around when they should be and aren't when they shouldn't.  So many things getting confused in my head.  Why am I writing this?
