Just got back from the second night fo the show - or in my case, the first night. It seems our hometown has embraced the concept of the Bohemian Love Theatre, and the venue was packed pretty tightly. So tightly, in fact, that it caused a few mishaps - for example, I poked an innocent bystander in the eye with my flag during the "human cockfighting" sketch!
A recurring problem in the BLT happens during the big finale, the Goldie Feather spectacular (in which I appear as 'Lady Boomsticks' complete with a busty corset and fishnets - ooh la la!). The stage vibrates and bounces quite a lot, and it loosens the legs on the drums. Every night, when I first hit it, one leg collapses. It happened during every single performance at the Peats Ridge Festival, and it continued to be a prick tonight. Luckily I had a gap in the song in which to figure out the problem and fix it. Another crisis averted - there would be nothing more mortifying than the whole kit falling over and all four drummers tumbling offstage!
One more night to go, and then we get a well-earned break before planning the shows for the remainder of '07. That would be an excellent time to go through my Goodies footage collection...
