Hazardous work environment

Those of you who follow the weather for central Wisconsin are probably aware of the tornadoes that passed through on Tuesday. Lucky us at APT...our first dress of Matchmaker was postponed as a funnel touched down in the golf course directly across the street. The costume shop had front row seats to the spectacle. The twisted touched down, played through, jumped up to a nearby hill and then meandered down towards Dodgeville, following the river. Surprising the only damage was a huge branch down and buckets of rain. Tech commenced as planned. The only downside to the storm was that the bustle dresses acted as a mop for the stage. By the end of the night, all of the costumes had knee high water marks.

Should I ever manage to connect to a wireless network in the area with Andrew's computer, I will post photos of the boots were cranked out last night. Unfortunately, public libraries are touchy about floppy discs, CD or flashdrives even being in the vicinity of their computers.

THE WEATHER IS OUT TO GET US! I'm not kidding! It has a vendetta and it means to destroy us! A mop for the stage, are you serious, or there was just that much water onstage? I've been to APT once in my life and I just remembered its outdoors! Ha! I'm stupid...
