Hit the Ground Running

As par usual, Mason Gross wastes no time. Meetings are done and over with until individual productions get underway (two mainstage are already being worked on), and we are slowly settling back into some sort of abnormal schedule. It amazes me every time how difficult it is to go from a 9-5 (or in APT's case 8:30-6:30) schedule to chaotic schedules here. I only have two scheduled classes and my TA this semester (I am teaching makeup design to one student--another graduate nonetheless). The remainder of m y time is spent in the costume shop or at my internship.

"At" is relative in regards to the internship. Devon is an extremely active designer. She was just heading to Utah few weeks ago when I reminded her about the internship, and now she's heading back this Friday with 3 more shows to gear up for. I've caught in the beginning stages of all three shows--an excellent place for this internship. Of course this means the first few weeks will be spent primarily in front of a computer of buried in books as I do research and paperwork.
Sunday and Monday I will be attending two production meetings with her for separate shows--one in DC and the other in Delaware. Thankfully, we're traveling to Philly instead of DC for the one meeting. And Delaware is a mere hour 15 away from New Brunswick so the commuting is not as frightful as I originally thought. After being in WI for three months I've forgotten how compact much of the East Coast is.

Shortly after arriving in NJ, I picked up some extra work through a classmate on a commerical. Elf hats for Black and Decker. As I don't watch much TV, y'all will have to let me know if they ever show up. This is the sort of quick work that pays off right away.

So busy as usual...
