The matinee finale...sad it's over...

Because Hwy 6 going to Atalissa finally opened up, I was able to get to Iowa City for choir practice and sacrament meeting at least, so I decided to go ahead and do it. I was able to get out in time to get back to Muscatine for the matinee performance yesterday. And when I walked into our "dressing room", I was greeted by Guns and Roses singing "Sweet Child of Mine" on YouTube. Quite a jarring contrast to the nice spirit I was feeling as I came back from church, that's for sure.

There were only a couple glitches this time around, the first one being that Courtney's gun didn't go off when she tried to shoot "the dead guy", aka James at the beginning. We just shrugged and went on with it. The second glitch was actually my fault. I had the wrong shoes on for the club scene. Hopefully no one noticed. ;)

Afterward the cast stayed to strike set, but I couldn't stay. I was still wearing my Sunday clothes and I had wanted my mom to help me take all the clothes I had brought for the production home (although I probably should've just donated them to the drama costume shed since I really can't wear them anymore).

All in all, I enjoyed working on the musical. I had a very cool experience playing four different characters onstage and I made some new friends. Now what am I going to do with my spare time besides look for a job? I could start exercising more and get my body back in shape since I do have to donate blood in a week. I could work on getting my 72 hour kit together. I got started on it while my parents were in Kansas.

Oh the possibilities! =D

Slan go foill...
