A volley of questions

This morning Leigha played her first volleyball game, well, games. They played three times, each lasted 15 minutes. Her team won the first two times then tied the third. They decided to play to the next point and the other team got it first. Pretty much at this age it's all about the kid managing to get it over the net on the serve. Leigha got a point! She actually did pretty well until she started being hyper aware that people were watching her. Can't imagine where that awareness comes from. I ran lights at the theater for the seven and eight o clock shows tonight. It was fun! I loved getting to pick the songlist and I loved the fact that there's a "blackout" button on the light box. Sweet. Playing Carl was fun! The nine o clock show was a Hypothetical 7 show, so we got to play. We had a pretty good first half, and the second half was and Armando. Keith Curtis was kind enough to step in and be our monologist, his first time getting to do so, apparently. I think he really enjoyed himself, and he did a great job. It was Patrick's first Hype 7 show and he did a great job as well. Our edits were super tight and snappy. I ran across that stage so many times I was sweating buckets. It was the kind of show where it didn't actually matter to us if the audience was even there because we were having so much fun with it. I love that kind of show.

My favorite: the double-sweep edit, when two people on opposite sides of offstage know it's time!

Tell Leigha that the way she's standing probably isn't the most helpful way to play volleyball! :)

yeah, those double-sweep edits are the best thing since triple-sweep edits. It's a group mind thing.
