DAY 6 - Things Start Hopping!
Today was a VERY busy day. In fact, at the moment I'm
sitting at the Production Company offices taking a crack at writing Ted's bio
for the program - it's 10:45PM - and we haven't been home since 1PM today!
We've had meetings about clothing (we don't call it costuming - it's clothing
for this show), food, hotel rooms, party plans, tickets, VIP lists (there are
some MAJOR, MAJOR names coming to this thing!) and God knows what ELSE - and all
of this has to be pulled together in under 6 days! It's pretty crazy
around here!
And, among other things, I had a pleasant surprise today, when we ran into Kat -
who has also been working on the Benefit since she found out about it at almost
the beginning. Somehow we've been missing running into each other for the
past 6 days!
Incidentally, I know that one or two of you wonders whether things went
"as I planned" here - actually, in a lot of ways, things have gone
better than I could ever have hoped! I've made a lot of major connections,
I'm working on a MAJOR project that has worldwide notoriety, and as far as
getting in the show - that remains to be seen, because casting is still somewhat
up in the air, in ways depending
It's been quite an experience so far, and I'm really having a great time
here!
I managed to find a computer with Front Page at the Ricardo Montalban, and I did update
the website today. All the new tour venues are on it now, and the articles
Da:S found are there - with her credit, of course. I will be adding the
new postcard tomorrow - the jpg is getting e-mailed to me tonight from the
Production Offices. Go take a look!
We got a look at the big program tonight that's in the works for the VIPs - and
it is going to be GORGEOUS! We're all hoping to get a copy, since we're
all working on it, and our names are going to be in it. The VIP's are
getting some beautiful things for their donation, plus a great reception and
dinner. So again, if you're coming to see Ted - it may be pretty
difficult. But we'll see.
Tomorrow will be more of the same, I'm sure. More meetings and plans, and
then the cast has fittings on Wednesday and the stars start coming in.
Ted, Ben, Barry, Yvonne, Jack, Chris and Larry will all be here before we know
it - and will be dropped into the show very quickly. It's going to be
quite an event. I'm REALLY GLAD I'm a part of it!
More tomorrow!
