Two down more to go.

Well we have now finished two Amway charters, and still have four more to go. I am so board I can’t even tell you. I know some people onboard would kill to have two days off a week, but let me tell you, when your not used to it, it is very boring. Now granted I do get a lot of time off, but I need to work a few hours a day to feel productive. I would be getting lots of maintenance work done, but I have everything working and in good shape. I think I am going to get some real deep cleaning done, work I would normally do during a dry dock, like taking all of the conventional lights apart onstage and cleaning all of the lenses. They get covered in hazer fluid, and you loose a lot of the output of the light from this. When I did it on the Jewel, the overall brightness of the stage increased about 30%.
As I sit here in my light booth waiting for another Amway Talent show to start, I am dreading what the acts will be like. I wasn’t needed for rehearsal, so I went to lunch. What I did see well lets just say it’s a Talentless show. The main problem with the Talent shows that these people do every week, isn’t the fact that most of them are bad, or that they are very disorganized, it is the fact that there are so many acts. The show is usually 2.5 to 3 hours long. I don’t even understand a word of it, but trust me a bad singer in any language is a bad singer. Oh geese, there they go again taking photos of themselves, they don’t listen!

Well after trying to stay awake enough to do the talent show, two and a half hours and twenty five + acts, it is finally over. I think I will forgo the coffee next time, and just find a couple of red bulls. I think all the hot milk is what put me to sleep.
