First Night was good. I love getting paid what worked out to over $29 an hour for basically sitting and listening to music. There was plenty of actual work during prep and strike, but the 6.5 hours during the performances were incredibly laid back. Crawling around in the beams in the dark to fix things during one of the performances was pretty exciting, too, but mostly it was just sitting.

I feel extra rich right now because I'd completely forgotten that the school still owed me a paycheck from the beginning of December, so that $100 seems like an unexpected bonus.

Also, I am a champion at Tim's puzzle box, and Tim drunk is one of the best things ever.

I don't really do New Year's resolutions, but here's to figuring out what to do with myself, graduating, and making a clean break for something new.

1) GO VOTE if you haven't already.

2) These shows are going to kiiiill me. I thought I could swing this massive A&C set last night, but now I'm not so sure.

3) This is so incredibly epic. It's History and Change and I am hopeful if not confident; regardless of what happens, the world is going to look different come tomorrow morning*. And Virginia! Maybe, maybe Virginia will go for Obama, and then I will be proud of this state for pretty much the first time ever.

The fact that there are people standing in line in the rain for over an hour in order to vote makes my heart swell. One of my professors said he showed up at his polling place at 6:05 this morning and there were some 300 people in line ahead of him.

*Or afternoon, or Thursday, or whenever the hell they have a solid outcome. :P

If you are in the general vicinity of Virginia this weekend, you should come to Williamsburg and see my show! Pirates of Penzance, aka the thing that has taken over my life for the last several weeks.

To copy shamelessly from the facebook event:

Full of outlandish pirates, bumbling policemen, beautiful maidens, and, of course, the very model of a modern major general, Pirates of Penzance is sure to be the next big hit in the Sinfonicron tradition!

Jan. 17-19; 8pm
Jan. 19, 20; 2pm

Price:
Premium seats: $15 (no discount available)
Adult: $12
Faculty: $10
Student: $5

Box office open 10-6 Monday through Friday
or purchase tickets online www.sinfonicron.org
or call 757-221-2674

A note: If you do plan to come, a) let me know so I can see you! and b) DO purchase tickets in advance. A lot of the seats are already gone, and Sinfonicron shows tend to sell out. I'd hate for anyone to make the trip here and then not be able to get a seat. So! Buy tickets, see the show. It's very, very silly, and ought to be a lot of fun. And you can see my kickass barrel, and the kickass dagger, and a lot of other kickass things.

Today I made a barrel out of 3/4" ply and lauan.
There will be pictures once I finish sanding the fuck out of it and put on the straps.

Basically, the only way you could possibly be more hardcore than me today is if you're Rolfe, who made me a gorgeous dagger with the welding corner and the lathe.

Today I made a barrel.
Yeah.
That's really all that's important.
