At the final dress rehersal there was a call for volunteers. Some of the props needed finishing off. Bart said 'yeah, I'll do it' then turned around and looked at me. Fan-fucking-tastic. So there I was yesterday at about one in the afternoon reading over lines and wondering what the hell I'm supposed to be doing.
First off I made paste. I had no idea how to make paste, but I do now. The recipe for paste is as follows: water, flour. You gotta do tricksy-shit with it to actually get it to adhere to stuff, but that's basically it. Flour and water.
We then stuck bits of crepe paper to a shape that had been made out of wire. Fun. The shape was one of three that were sitting on flower pots. We had to cut out carpet and glue it to the bottom of the pots. Then after that I happened to observe that the curtains that needed to be sewn together weren't, so we ended up with that job.
I finished with about an hour to go. I went up the street, called home to tell the parents I wouldn't be there to eat, then went back and got ready to perform.
