...I'll get to it.
Hi everybody, I'm talking again. It doesn't look like my article turned out in the Fan Word section, but whatever. It's probably Karma's way of saying "Don't submit random impulse-driven pieces and expect them to get published." Touche.
Anywho, today is the last day of the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at our high school. Finally. I've been waitin' for this sucker to end since it started. A few fun moments I'd like to share with you. On Friday, as you might have read in Katana's post, the fire alarm went off. To be accurate, it went off three times at random intervals. Because I was tech and important-looking, I was crowd control and helped people out of the supposedly burning building. However, people are stupid, and once they exit the door they stop, so nobody else can get out. That's how I became Man with Wrench. You see, people pretty much do what you tell them when you're a 6'5" techie hitting a wrench into the palm of your hand. But anyway, because we live in nowhere, it also took the fire department twenty to thirty minutes to arrive at the school. I kinda half expected them to be a horse-drawn carriage, pulling a wagon full of Dasani water bottles. Apparently, our automatic 911 caller system is just as glitched as the fire alarms. Our school is a piece of trash.
Later, we went to Colonoial Cafe, where we discussed nothing in particular. Just good times, and ice cream.
Last night, Saturday, however, was the worst night thus far, although there was no fire alarm. Two minutes before the show, a noob sitting next to me in the lightbox accidentally pushed the houses off button, and so the lights went down before we were ready to go. Obviously, anyone who didn't see him do that at first blamed me. >:( Then, during the show, light 6 exploded. Didn't go out, didn't surge then pop, it fucking shattered. These are halogen lightbulbs, so there's a little punch to them. Then there some little problems in terms with the cast forgetting lyrics, but that was minor. What was fun, though, was the cast party.
Oh the party...
It started off fine enough, people playing MarioKart on the N64 inside, some playing ping-pong and foosball, people outside were singing and talking and rolling down the hill in the dark (what?) But then some people started leaving, and it got kinda cooky. We switched the game over to Rockband, so now we have these annoying techies with bad voices trying to sing into a broken mic (one of em tried to hit on me *shudder*) And then they brought out the hookah. Hurray! In case you didn't know, the majority of these kids were from chorus/chorale, so they liked to sing. What happens when you mix young ensemble vocalists with a hookah? Perfect harmony. It had to have been one of the most funniest things I've ever seen. Four part harmonies in very elaborate choir songs with a slightly sinister bubbling sound in the background. And this was also a party where many people (myself included) slept over, then left in the morning. I woke up at 730, got home at 815, and went paddling at 830. O_o I'm kinda excited how everybody is going to be today, both on and offstage. Leaving in about thirty minutes for it...this is going to be so funny. >:D
