Two More Nights

bethlakshmiSo... it's Friday. The week of frenzy is nearly over. Two more shows, and then strike on Saturday night.
It is a happy/sad for me:
- Happy:
- I get my life back! I can proceed to finish my project, and do my work stuff, and get my dental surgery without worrying that I will screw something up for the Baby Dolls.
- We've done a good show. I'm happy with the work I put in, it's definitely challenged me and left me with idea for what to do next time. That's always a good place to be.
- Crowds are getting ever bigger. Yay! So the best is yet to come (although last night was pretty great!)
- Sad:
- Despite the stress of ramping up and sorting out who was doing what, casting wise - I've really enjoyed the last few weeks. We certainly have a collection of things I don't like. Some of them are mutable - like the minuses of the theater space we're using. Some may be here to stay. But... adding up the factors - I had a good time. And true to Lakshmi Form - I don't want to stop having a good time. :)
- Wouldn't it be neat to be SO freaking spectacular that we had to play an extra week or so to accomodate all our raving fans? Well... maybe next show....
- I'm kinda gonna miss seeing most of these performers nearly every day. For better or worse, by the end of a show, you feel a bit like a family - up to including love of those one or two people you don't actually *like* very much. But it all dissolves once the show is over... although, on the upside, chances are many of these faces will be seen again for the next Baby Dolls Endeavor.
A HUGE thank you goes out to all of you who came to see the show last night! I think many of us performed with super-extra energy because we knew you were there - and I think it gave the show a perk that will carry us through our last two nights. It meant a lot.
I especially enjoyed meeting![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jdulac's dad. A sweet older man who remembers the days of Sculley Square when he snuck in as a young lad. He told me about a dancer who could twirl each tassel INDIVIDUALLY. Yep - one is twirling, the other is hanging still. Oh Mina! We have to work on this!! And also told me of a girl who did a back bend onto her hands and then vibrated. Ah if only there was even a slight chance of me doing such a thing. Perhaps I can convince Morgan to try it... maybe teach her how to do an undulation so she can to her wacky contortion and then have her stomach ripple in an even more super-human way...
But... seeing all of you was really great! Thank you thank you thank you!

Carrie Finnell was the tassel twirling champ -- I wonder if he was lucky enough to see her. She could twirl her tassels individually, pop her breasts out of her dress, and twirl tassels on her rear.
