It was a fairly easy day here in Portland.
Prehang wasn’t finished so it took much longer to get focusing than it should have. But Leo did have about an hour before lunch. He wasn’t finished by dinner, however, and we were started tech at around 8:06.
The crew was fine. Good guys. The house carpenter was with us in the Schnitzer when I was there with Cunningham. He really sorted out our problems and we gave him a bottle of wine on the way out.
Tei had a rough night from food poisoning. None of the rest of us who ate oysters were in trouble so he figured it was from a vietnamese sandwich he had from lunch.
We went out to get a cup of coffee found a great guy running “Cafe Velo” a bicycle driven cafe cart. He had two large pots boiling water behind him and a rack of drip set ups on the cart. You could chose your coffee and he would drip it fresh. Mine was goooood.
The cafe velo was in in the green market that appears downtown. Leo and I had lunch there. We both had tomales. Not bad but not spectacular. Only $5.
Hilary stopped by in the afternoon and I showed her around the theater, everything from spike marks to the fly system to how the lighting computer works.
We went to dinner at Indonesian Place. I had fried rice.
Rehearsal went very well. But we kind of fucked up the spacing for “Place” and Ana was quite upset, but she usually is.
Hilary came and watched the rehearsal as well. I think she had a good time.
I walked around Portland and tried to find a bar. I was able to get a beer at a place called lotus. But they closed at midnight. So I bought some beers at a deli and came home. They had a publication called “Busted” a round up of police blotter info from around the area. Something I’m sure that noone wants that kind of press.
