Beast...

not you, on the Moon...silly.

Beast has not had a mention since it was budgeted or drawn or something some time ago. So what we have here is a wall. Not just any wall, no no...this is what happens when designers spend to much time together they want similar things. This year we had a set of curved walls (Urinetown) and a set with back lit walls (Nathan the Wise) and here in Beast have the 2 put together...A curved backlit wall. hehe...the offspring of our mainstage shows that occurs right between them.

So I got to come in and teach somebody how to roll some steel, although for how much rolling I have done, this was my first attempt at rolling to no radius on one piece of steel on multiple passes. Amazingly, the pieces actually looked the same. Then off to the job leads first (I guess we could this as challenging) welding project, but still not structural...don't worry, you're time will come when you stop listening to how 4 different people weld and add in your own style.

I enjoy the sparks... But that show has moved on and got built...took a little to many opinions. Sometimes you just have to pick one person and go to them for advice. If you get to many opinions things like welding with no gas might happen... some people actually have a good idea of how it works... that is why they tell you how to do it from the begining...some people don't which is why they are slightly more long winded (they are making it up as they go). Choose your source, stick to it the combination of ideas sometimes doesn't work on abstract things.

Thank God the scenery always eventually gets there. Even if it has to be cut in half to fit through the door.

But all in all, it is assembled and lit and life goes on... It may have been just a studio show, but you still must give it the time of day! I hope this isn't, as George Clinton put it, "A taste of things to come."
