Thanks again, Trudy and juliana. Off course, if I get through this without a) getting fired , b) the designer quitting or d) the artistic director hating me, I'll be lucky.
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
The designer seems flabbergasted that we don't normally tech in costume-- the artisitic director, the production manager and the director seem flabbergasted that we would even consider trying to tech in costumes. I don't have enough experience to tell who is craxy-- does anyone know?
My experience is like juliana's. We don't do costumes during the 2 long techs unless there are complicated costume changes. If the costumes affect the way an actor needs to move (shoes, corsets, big dresses, etc.), we usually get costumes (if not the whole thing, then key pieces) well before techs.
We also have costume parades before one of the dress rehearsals where each costume comes out on stage and the lights are set for the scenes that costume appears in so that the lighting designer and costume designer and see how everything looks under the lights.

Illinois now has another convicted ex-governor. Yay, us?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Illinois just has a high rate of successful prosecution of ex-governors.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah.
It just proves the system is working....

That's two convicted ex-govs in twenty years, though--rather high rate. (Daniel Walker served two years in federal prison for S&L hijinks in the late 80s.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Quote of the Day: "Woman's sexual organ is like the open mouth of a snake filled with poison.” —Rev. Sun Myung Moon, whose pastors, under George W. Bush's Healthy Marriage Initiative and abstinence-only grants, have won nearly $1 million in public funding. Read the rest of this. It’s wild.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Ohio is trying to do Illinois one better by prosecuting a sitting governor.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Please tell me that the Moonie religion is based on a Monty Python sketch. It's the only way to explain comments like:
"After the act of love," read the instructions from the Rev. Moon's conservative Family Federation, "both spouses should wipe their sexual areas with the Holy Handkerchief. Hang the handkerchief[s] to dry naturally and keep them eternally. They must be kept individually labeled and should never be laundered and mixed up."
[eta: It took me until I posted to fully comprehend the "should never be laundered" part of that quote. Now that I have....ew.]
