We shall overcome

We understood that going for a world record was not going to be easy, 50 shows in 50 days and all. This week we realized how tricky it really is to do those 50 shows in 50 different places. We have come across some interesting venues that have forced us to put on our thinking caps. For example, churches come in all shapes and sizes (we've gone into 3 churches this week), so it always takes a bit of quick thinking to figure out the best space for our stage. Often times we have to move different bits of furniture out of the way and work around various steps and platforms. These venues can bring added stress to our setup time, but we have always managed to get everything in order and still put on a great show for whoever comes to see it.

With the added obstacles that churches (and sometimes schools) can bring, we have really come to appreciate our theatre venues. The spaces are always ample, there is technical staff on hand that are willing to help out, the lights look great, and WE GET REAL DRESSING ROOMS! Needless to say, we were excited to get back to a theatre this morning, until we found out that the theatre was on the third floor, and there was only a tiny lift to move all our equipment up there. It's a good thing we got there over two hours before the show. We had our doubts at first, but the theatre people were really nice and helpful. Packing up went much quicker with extra help and a big, lift-sized trolley.

Tomorrow Star Citizen goes international! All the way across the border to Wales. Yes! See you back in Potters Bar next week.
