Today we docked in Norfolk, VA. After 2.5 days at sea, it was nice to see land again. We docked right next to the USS
Wisconsin, a sister ship to the USS Missouri, which I saw last January at Pearl
Harbor. The USS Missouri is the
ship upon which the Japanese surrendered, ending the Pacific portion of World
War II, in 1945.
It was very grey, cold, and damp, so it was fine that I was
in the theatre almost all day teching THE V-SHOW. The show is in somewhat rough shape, but our lighting
designer boarded today and will work tonight, while our sound designer will
board tomorrow and we’ll throw him right into the fire. The band sounds awesome and I have no
doubt that, with tonight’s clean-up in the aerobics studio, and tomorrow’s time
on stage, plus a tech/dress rehearsal, it will be fine by the 7pm performance.
I am fighting a little head cold, but I think I’ve nipped it
in the bud quickly, and am keeping it from getting any worse.
It was a tough day, but it beats sitting in a cubicle in
fluorescent lighting . . .
