Despite missing key people, the rehearsal last night went really well. Strangely enough, although Salazar was unavoidably detained elsewhere, a giant snake was sitting in the audience and agreed to play the part of the snake in the act. Yay! Fortuitous, indeed. Vlad is now doing amusification between acts - which helps a lot. Lucy does audience audio warm-up. Maxie was right there with her act and handled her set and music herself. Enjah will do High Flyer understudying, which will be good as last night I was the lone High Flyer, doing intro, curtain, and music and admittedly did not try too hard as it was obviously going to be funny anyway with one person.

Afterwards we stopped in at the Pantheon, then Ida and I went to Grignano. It was hot here in RL and I was sick with it, but it's cool today and I got up at 7 to find Ida had recorded the audio for the next GBC spot. I made it, then we decided that we needed a change in the audio, which I said I would only do if she sent me a file rather than using Hipcast. Now I'm driving Ida kookoo by emailing her every 30 seconds.

Tiff is coming later, which will be good. we'll get the book put to bed.
