Exhausted
Well, the first weekend of shooting is DONE for GOD ROCKS. Whew! It was such a crazy past 5 days - unbelievable.
The open house on Wednesday was a HUGE success - great food, tons of wine, lots of new people to meet. It was really fantastic. I was so impressed with the turnout and the COOLNESS of the people we met. I'm excited that there is such a supportive community for us here in Duluth - yay!
Thursday & Friday were our "tech" days at St. Scholastica. We had to get the theater ready for our ROCK SHOW. We had to paint the stage & hang curtains, set lights, drape the risers (after moving some), clean and put away and stash and haul in groceries, and costumes and TONS of rock show gear and fog machines and 3 very large crosses (note: a nun (it's a Catholic Monastery/College) walked past Jason on Thursday night as he was carrying in a 10' cross - her comment was "you're working late." - as if it's just an every day occurence to see this! haha), etc etc. It was fun but exhausting.
Saturday & Sunday we were shooting! We put on the rock show both days - one day with extras (yesterday) one day without (Saturday). The extras were AWESOME. they brought so much energy and gave the musicians a lot of great feedback. The bands really rocked! We had some technical glitches but for the most part I think we got some really amazing stuff this weekend. It'll be so much fun to edit!!
Today I'm taking OFF. 7 long days in a row warrant a good day of rest, don't you think? My plans: laying on the couch, planting petunias, reading, knitting, watching a movie - oh and then I have to go back to St. Scholastica to load out the sound gear (ugh).
Next weekend's shoot will be FAR less crazy. Whohooo!
