SCENIC: -drop brakes on everything except for the filing cabinet (lift brakes) – sounds great, thank you (1/2” drop into the deck). Brake on bar table?

And thank you for the table. -spacing on Wednesday: can place things and drill holes that day.

Little rug spot for her just in case – 2’ X 3’ block of space. -check on exactly what would work with guitar – talk to Seth about price of guitar. -all heels are pretty chunky, we are good with the holes in the stage. -dressing station? R would be nice. Check it out, then Duper will help. -the couch issue: Will be a chair. It will be here on Tuesday. Check and see how weight bearing and all that jazz. Maybe needs a slip cover. The chair will need to have casters so it can be part of the scene shift. It can be on a wagon with brakes. Yes, wagon – low profile casters and two brakes. Maybe just call casters – super easy. -the stump is just sat upon – yes to getting casters and a wagon on that. -microphones are just props that you saw today – they are good – but might need to have a change of color (match the opening outfits). -signs: country music heaven – there the whole time. The drop is a one person deal – Lindsy can do it on her own.

PROPERTIES: -the iron in the beginning – anyway to gut it? That would be wonderful. Thank you. -same with the phone – see if there is anyway to gut it. -Sue Ellen – it’s her jacket she’s using as her pillow. -Angela’s purse – the gum, some sort of mints she can pop (tic-tacs or something) instead. -2 fake sandwich bags and 2 individually wrapped real sandwich halves, 2 fake pork rind bags. -tissues was great – will just buy a lot of them, maybe try and re-use – buy the cheapest. -Darlene’s outfit at the end – guitar strap, it’s a turquoise beaded gown – gold and silver accents. -3 skinny mics – silver? With black top. -in and out boxes do exist, and they will be permanently attached. -purse should be fine – and her luggage can open for extra storage. -hat box can open so the tambourine can go in there. Page 1 of 3 -pink accent on hat box – there could be more. -pictures for the backwall of the set – for the bar: the backwall is just covered in pictures. Again, will talk about it. -pendants: will talk about it. Can match color scheme in sign. A picture of seabiscuit. Monochromatic would be fine. -blinds for the LA office will be coming in tomorrow. -the fans are getting more love, yes.

Wednesday maybe? Will look it over. -Duper and Corey will look at the convention center together. -with the band – got all the shirt sizes, they just need to blend in – the set is a lot of browns and woods, little bit of green. -the 3 girls and lindsy need to be in costume for the scene shifts – country clothing. -angela is in flats for the first act. -only heels in the first act are Sue Ellen (rubber heel). -will do costume fun on Wednesday. -costume change plot will be given to kate as soon as possible ( to post for the girls.)

Don’t see set being in their during the evenings. -Monday night/Wednesday night: events in the conference center – need to revise tech schedule if it overlaps. -Everything needs to be pushed behind that white curtain. -Can’t write cues with the curtain in the way – maybe tie it up? Would like to start writing cues tomorrow night – crew will look at it tomorrow. -Christmas lights – get a crew hand to help out – maybe have to do a zig zag of Christmas lights. Can be hung there for rain shows, just not lit up. Ask Jill about the Christmas lights and rain show. -Christmas lights: tomorrow morning, 2 sets of hands from the crew to help out. -writing cues: will just be building cues for the next couple nights right now but will talk and give cues soon after. -the run lights – jen will do a count and get back to me. -the lights in the bus: turned on when the unit gets moved – under the luggage rack. -shouldn’t have any problems with the blocking, so no problem – no re-staging necessary. Maybe just look at the triangle formations (probably just can’t be fixed).
