Hello all,<\/p>\n
So the 4th of July holiday is quickly approaching, you can almost smell it in the air.\u00a0 The scent of super sized beef deals at the local super chain grocery, and the stale yet electric smoke scent that is gunpowder in the air.\u00a0 I say that “in Boston at least” this holiday begins 3 weeks before the actual day.\u00a0 Fireworks jump and sprout like flowers throughout the intercity suburbs blasting light and sound into the midnight air…\u00a0 It is an interesting sound which i am sure would be fearful in any other setting.\u00a0 The sirens from the police are a constant hum in the air as they illusively try to put a stop to the merriment. Bang the roomates look at each other, “was that a gunshot” someone says, “no this time it was a fire work”…\u00a0 “We celebrate the independence of our country by blowing up a small portion of it.”<\/p>\n
Soon the decision will come, which type of light do i want to be surrounded in.\u00a0 Should i bask in a field by the charles river all day surrounded by friends and sunlight, waiting for a classical concert and fireworks display?\u00a0 Should I trek up the coast of Maine to Blue Hill to see a homemade display and taste fresh shellfish? Or should i go home, and enjoy one of the largest bonfires this side of burning man?<\/p>\n
I will let you know what choice i make later.\u00a0 Right now I am faced with the task of reading and cueing my script for Grease, and making magic sheets.\u00a0 Magic sheets are little maps that let me know what lights are coming from what direction.\u00a0 Essential papers which help dull the mental chatter of numbers in my head.\u00a0 I love that fact that math is not my strong suit, but when i am thinking about channel numbers and voltage drops i can remember and do anything quickly and with accuracy.<\/p>\n
I am looking forward to this job in particular because.\u00a0 This is my first large company job, I had a budget, and I am working in repertory.\u00a0 This basically means that i had to make a lot of choices to both constrain and free my creativity and the final design.\u00a0 Repertory means that 3 shows run a day, and that we swap the shows out after each one completes.\u00a0 The lighting rig is fixed, so i had to come up with a pallet that i felt would work for Grease, Cabaret, and West Side Story.<\/p>\n
All of this being said I think I have successfully achieved the tasks at hand, and I am excited to see what it will actually look like in the air.. I find this out of the 5th.<\/p>\n
The cat is next to me in bed, he is under both blankets, and nuzzled against my left leg, as i sit proped up on pillows trying to understand this thing called the internet and networking.\u00a0\u00a0 NET-web: construct or form a web, as if by weaving.\u00a0 WORK-<\/span>exert oneself by doing mental or physical work for a purpose or out of necessity; “I will work hard to improve my grades”; “she worked hard for .\u00a0 Interesting one must exert quite a large amount of force to ripple the pond.\u00a0 We both may take a little cat nap, as I count the days remaining before my feet stop hanging off the edge.<\/span><\/p>\n So remember be safe and well on this long weekend.\u00a0 I will continue to post, but if we dont speak till then, have fun…\u00a0 AND DON’T FORGET TO HAND JIVE!!!!<\/p>\n Namaste<\/p>\n Mikey<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello all, So the 4th of July holiday is quickly approaching, you can almost smell it in the air.\u00a0 The scent of super sized beef deals at the local super chain grocery, and the stale yet electric smoke scent that is gunpowder in the air.\u00a0 I say that “in Boston at least” this holiday begins […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[15,14,7,9,8,13,12,11,10,16],"class_list":["post-4","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life","tag-cabaret","tag-design","tag-feet","tag-food","tag-fourth-of-july","tag-grease","tag-hand-jive","tag-lighting","tag-smell","tag-west-side-story"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mwonson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mwonson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mwonson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mwonson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mwonson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mwonson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mwonson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mwonson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mwonson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
