Well it was certainly a bit different. If you have ever tried to fit a stretch limo into your garage at home which is to be honest a little small for your average hatchback, you will have some idea of the task that was ahead of us for this gig.
To say the setup for this one took a little longer than normal would be a slight mis-justice, in fact it was a mammoth 18 hour task that involved removing doors, destroying steps and a lot of sweating and even a small quantity of blood. There were a few "hair raising" moments like getting our truss cross beams resting on the in house truss - probably best I don't tell you how we did it, just rest happily in the knowledge we did it and the building is still standing.
It was a bit different not to have to rip the whole show out after the show, instead for a rare treat the crew were allowed into the nearest watering hole for a well deserved glass of Ice Cold Coca Cola. After some fun it was off to Sue's Chinese Chippy for a late night snack before heading back to Text House for some sleep. I say some we didn't have to get to the venue until 2pm the next day a very different affair from the normal 8am. So a very relaxed day and another flawless (sort of) show.
All that remained was to get all the stuff crow barred back out before Nick turned up with his truck and we put all the stuff back to bed for another weekend. A totally shattered crew made a LONG journey back south. The most notable moment when Ben Peters baffled the entire crew for around 40mins with his chosen character in "Who Am I?" - John the Baptist for those of you who care.
Well That was quite a rant, see you soon.
