Thursday September 24, 2009 – The Day of Tuning the Air’s Opening Night
Travis, Mary Beth and Christina were over here at 7pm last evening. We spent an hour consolidating all of the House materials and the lighting equipment, making sure we have everything necessary for tonight’s opening, and loaded it all into my car. Fortunately, it looks like we will have ample storage space at the Abbey, so I won’t need to be carting this stuff around all season.
Up this morning at 6:30am. Took some time to send out the rest of the announcements to our emailing list about the Tuning the Air Season Pass. Just 2 of us for the sitting at 7am. After something of an attendance spike in the first weeks, it is back to being a bit sparse. Once I had completed the regular morning exercises, I took a few moments to visualize the setlist for tonight. Shortly after 7:30 I was out the door to Fremont Abbey Arts Center, to hang the banner and set out the sandwich boards. Home by 8am for some tea and some clerical work relating to the upcoming Guitar Craft course before my first student arrived at 9am.
One more lesson today, and a number of details to attend to before heading to Fremont Abbey at 4pm to begin setting the stage. Right now, practice.
