Well the new cast opened Tango last night. They have two other shows left to put in. Funny thing, by the time we get to Florida and the put in is over, so will Tango. All that work for just 3 nights of performances. Oh well. With all the techs, I think I can run the thing blindfolded and with no sound. Teching that show, without the singers on mic, and without the tango dancers and musicians it can get somewhat tricky to figure out where the cues go.
Looking forward to tomorrow. I haven't seen my best friend from High School in a number of years. I am taking a number of the techs from the ship with me to see the Boston University Theatre where he works. I think the guys will get a real kick out of seeing a real land theatre.

Who would ever have thought the two guys from the University of Idaho would unkowing meet and work on the same cruise ship in the same department. Dean you must be doing something right!!! I also hear that the Light Tech on the Mariner is also from UI. We must be taking over the world!

Almost heading South
Well it has been a while since I last posted. Things have been busy with work lately, and being is so many US ports it had been great to get off the ship as much as possible. If you don't know I have been porting out of Boston for the past few weeks. It has been so nice to see so many people. My Father and Step mother were able to make a visit that was unexpected. My friends from Yale made the trip north, as did my Aunt and Uncle today. I have had so many visitors it has been great. So many people know what I do, but never get to see where I work. Others need to come sail with me for a while, you know who you are.
Things are getting cold in New England, although no where near as cold as my father and Sister said it was in the Inland Northwest today. Now that we are getting ready to head for warmer water, the leaves are finally starting to change. I was beginning to wonder if we were ever going to see them change before we left.
Some news that I might not have told people is that our new Stage Staff on the Jewel went to the University of Idaho. He has a degree in Mass Media, and Theatre. He started 2 years after I left and just graduated. He is great, we have so much in common, and its nice to talk about home with someone that is from the same part of the world. Although I really haven't lived much in the WA/ID area other than college, we still have a lot in common.
I might be coming home for the holidays, I have been told that I might be heading for vacation on Dec 16th, but I still haven't seen it on paper. I have a contract till the end of January, so we will see.
Our Rigger just got promoted to Production manager for a trial period, so he left today to join another one of our ships. Studio B will be interesting for him. He has never worked with ice before. I forgot to ask him if ever ice skated before he left, of well. We wished him all the best.
Well for those of you that actually read this blog, and have been bugging me to keep it updated, here you go.
The new cast just arrived today so many tech runs over the next few weeks to look foward too. I am exited that I have already worked with one of the Singer when I worked on the Oosterdam, small world.
