Tues 28th – A Relaxing Time @ 70m High!
(Photo's - the broken Asia truck of a few days ago & Adam & Jules on the Anti Stoop.)Tonights rehearsal was hilarious as they were only rehearsing scenery stuff – there was no performers etc. & did they happen to rehearse the scenery section that required myself and Kev…? Hell no! Very funny! 6 odd hours, sitting on a platform, rocking out to iTunes with not a care in the world! The jacket makes all the difference warmth wise and I’ve managed to perfect the picking of Prem’s voice over cans – as soon as I hear his voice, pause button is hit and then back to iTunes at the earliest convenience! I didn’t tun on or even get close to pointing my dome at anything for the entire time! Hee hee hee!
It did start to rain at one point and I’d gone over to visit Kev as I was bored. Headed back over and got back on cans to hear the tail end of conversation re. the rain. Someone asked how I thought it was and I chimed in with “It’s fine – annoying but fine, wouldn’t even classify it as heavy”. Found out later on when we were at home that people who were undercover were having a little whinge about the rain whipping in and getting the back’s of their legs! Paul & Adam thought my perfectly innocent comment was the best thing! I had no idea that people had been bitching! One of those beautiful moments where I may have come across as a bit of a bastard but people also knew that I’d been off cans and that it was an honest call! GOLD!
Today is also Marie’s 40th birthday – she one of the spot ops and hails from England although lives in Dubai – we think. She’s a weird one. Good sense of humour but just a little strange. She claims to be a dominatrix and runs a fetish club back at home. She’s harmless but some of the comments she comes out with just cross that line way to far – and that’s me saying this! She’s very forward and open about, well, just about everything! The comments are of the level of if you’d known someone for years & years – not just a few weeks! Don’t get me wrong, I think she’s OK and when sitting down at the Canteen, having a coffee and a chat she’s harmless but, it also has to do with that one-upmanship that happens on cans, in a group, she can be a little freaky. Eh, what are you going to do!
Her birthday drinks were a resounding success – we’d gone and got her this huge & rich chocolate cake and had invited some of her friends who we knew from around the Stadium to come join us. The festivities led to our first official noise complaint…. At 0330 when Kev was belting out U2 – with numerous back up singers we heard Steph, one of the SM’s yell out that she appreciated the concert and it was semi in tune but could we please save it for the daylight hous! Kirsten said to me & Adam the next day that it was really weird going to sounds of Adam & my voices! “Just like being back in Ballarat but with sand!”
We then moved the remainder of the gathering out to the Rear Stoop, or as we’ve now christened it – the Anti Stoop, fired up the Shoosha and sat back and chatted until the wee small hours – yes, I saw the sun rise again. Wasn’t a messy night, just a relaxing few beers.
