Blunders

Well, this is my impression of Milwaukee so far!
 My dresser rocks it! Her name is Aggie and she is fun and really good at her job, although she unerringly makes a trip to my dressing room every time I have just dropped trou... And there is a super HOT stagehand, a big yummy Bubba of a fella... they do exist!
Got to the city and into the Hyatt hotel, as I decided to splurge this week (never a good idea as once the expectations are high, there is only one direction to go) I have to say the bed and pillows are yummy, but my non-smoking room had been smoked in so a room change was in order. This bed not so yummy, with a rather large dip in it...
Day off evening, a couple of us went to a famous local German restaurant called Mader's, and had a really lovely put some German-Meat-On-Your-Bones food... followed up by a sour cherry bread pudding.
Opening night we had to stop the show right after Jolly Holiday because of some set issues, we had one of our covers on for the first time, and he and the whole company adjusted to the scene (although Queen Victoria never made it out on her throne from behind the trees). Our amazing crew patched us up and had us back and running in 20 minutes. Later in the show, same fella who was doing the split track got sacked in the face with one of the step-in-time brooms (ouch) so it was packed full.
Woke up yesterday with a really bad chest cough and laryngitis (not happy....Firstly, I haven't accrued any sick days yet, and Secondly, I can't stand the idea of the show going on and not being in it). I took myself off to the Urgent Care, thanks to having NO INSURANCE my visit cost $350... really? Just to walk in the door and have them take my blood pressure and give me a prescription... aaaagh! Got my drugs and went home and drank a huge amount of throat coat, had HOT Thai soup and noodles for dinner to try and sweat some of it out, and went to the show. Another series of 'only in the theater', the local reed player didn't have his reed in his instrument.... again, really? How does that even happen. We had another cover on who did a great job, in the second act, one of our cast tried to make a mad dash through a small space and went flying, second male swing was called up on the fly... end of step in time I got to yank him hither and yon (which was actually really funny as I had both of the swings as my partners so it was pretty much a free for all).
Came home with the intention of writing paper #2 for school (I should be on 3 or 4 by now... just a little behind) and had to suffer through the rhythmic banging from the room next door... THREE ROUNDS OF IT. So actually staying up and researching all of these recordings for class ended up coming to pass after all, and the noise next door added a little percussion to the 20th century vocals on my computer.
To top of the night, I had to pee in the middle of the night (which I try never to do) and so couldn't fall back asleep for about two hours.
Today is PAY DAYand I am going to the Cleopatra exhibit and to high tea with friends... things are looking up!!!
Cheers
