Yes, I know this was yesterday, I am a day behind. I had a few things to do today what with tech in the morning and our opening show in the evening, but more on that tomorrow. . .
Day Two:
Our first full day in the Twin Cities brought the moment I feared most, my first attempt to lead the group through public transit I was unfamiliar with. Alas, it went just as horribly as I had feared. Our bus driver was not helpful and friendly. He had clearly woken up on the wrong side of the bed. He certainly had no patience for tourists and affirmed we were on the right bus with an exasperated grunt. I then proceeded to put my bus pass in the wrong slot and it was devoured by the cash box, never to be returned. Well, at least then I knew what to tell everyone NOT to do. Thankfully, we did manage to make all our connections and enjoy our first public transit ride to the Walker Art Center.
Here they are doing that thing they do in the sculpture garden.
After the Walker visit we had our first performance, at the out of towners showcase at the Bedlam Theater. They performed only the opening piece, but the packed house of tipsy fringe goers really enjoyed it. We got a lot of laughs and lots and lots of people had very nice things to say to the performers after the show. Hopefully some of this will actually translate to audience numbers.
