And So It Begins......

Well, this is officially my "first" day as a roadie w/Sesame Street Live. It has certainly been interesting, and not at all what I expected.

Got into Minneapolis around 2:30, got to the shuttle, then arrived at the hotel around 3. Checked in, was informed my roommate had not arrived, then went up to my room......to find that there was only one bed. Yes, thats right, one bed. As it turns out the couch in my "suite" is actually a pull out sofa bed, but it is rather ridiculous I think to expect 2 adults who have never met in their lives to coexist in a space made for one. (not to mention the fact that I'm still coughing my lungs out, which I'm sure she is THRILLED with).

Went to the crew meeting, got the schedule, then went out to dinner.....talked to some cast and crew, a lot of them have been doing this for several years, and they are still excited about this job.....so obviously something must be working, super cramped shared rooms and all.

At any rate, I'm chalking my hotel room stress up to being overtired and still kinda sick, and hopefully it will get better from here on out (crosses fingers)

Load in at 8am tomorrow, and I have NO clue what I'm doing.....woo hoo!!

More on that tomorrow....
