Day Off again again

Howdy,

Thank you Jewdee for answering all of the questions with great thoroughness and thoughtfulness. I forwarded them to Jamie D and look forward to incorporating them tomorrow at rehearsal. It was really very helpful. I am really glad you are part of this process and that Mr. Hudson got to share in the Barn Series process.
I love the idea of a day off, got the great email from Florida, talked with Lea who thought she could find a better option for one of the costumes - that anyone else working on a workshop would've called done last week, talked with Sarah Sidman while teaching a LAB Master Class at NYU with her and Andromache, spoke via voice mail and email with Jessica about next week's prep for production, and finished the night with detailed conversation with Scott about the next steps the script (maybe not text) but interpretation needs to take.
In that conversation we both agreed Judy Bowman, our casting director, needs a big shout out for finding Eric T. for us. She did a great job and is not to be forgotten as to how important that part of the process is. Casting 90% of directing Which is true when you get it right, when you don't you end up working 90% harder - not necessarily better. Thank you Judy - I hope to see you at the performance June 20th or 21st.
Okay - I got the time wrong for the second show - 2pm on Saturday the 21st. 2pm for the show the Penalties & Interest cast who will be coming then. If you get a chance, check out their blog. I'm a little jealous. They have gone high tech - they have video blogs. Video blogs - they may not write every day but it is impressive. I wonder how they do that - I hope some one will show us. Not to have me on the video, we're trying to keep people engaged in the process - but maybe we could get the very attractive and talented writer Scott Hudson's face on the blog. Hopefully they'll share the technological know how.
We have plenty of work to do in the upcoming rehearsals, but as promised - we are doing an open rehearsal. I don't know what we will be doing but the schedule is 10am to 2pm. Feel free to drop by - sit quietly in the back and then on a break make sure to say hi.
Went to see Isaac Hayes in Prospect Park tonight - for those of you who don't know him, as my friend Michael said, 'he's a bad mother, shut your mouth'. Happy Birthday Hideki Matsui!

Goodnight,

Padraic
