Tales of Tech: Play by Play

Twas the night before load-in, and all through the house
Kinch was sewing and making like a crazed little mouse...

Anyways.  Worked for 10 hours and still didn't finish everything: finished enough for the fittings though, which I guess was the important part.  Here's a chronicle of those 10 hours:

Ready for Battle


2:42 PM: Maybe 20% of the way there for Not A Box.  But I’m ready for the ensuing battle.  Loading in tomorrow at 10:30 AM.  There may be very little sleep between points A and B, but I’ll get there. I will.

3:19 PM: Neon pink fabric paint vomited on my hands.  Jaquard Textile Paints were the best and worst discovery I made senior year.  Now, to the tea dying.

4:37 PM: Lovely phone conversation with Oee while making a tiara.  Tiara half done!

6:08 PM: How is it 6:08 PM?!

7:01 PM: Regency bodice, done! Yay! Now, to finish painting, and then skirt-problems.  Always skirt problems.

7:54 PM: Same tasks as before, only to the sweet sounds of Boondock Saints.  Yay guilty pleasure movies! The Departed is totally next.

9:41 PM: Skirt on, ZIPPER TIME! Achilles tendon burning from squatting while painting. Waiting for the paint to dry... still more to do! IT WAS A FIRE FIGHT!!!!!!

10:13 PM: I hate zippers. With a fiery passion. On to Moulin Rouge.  A singing Ewan McGregor will ease my ire.

11:08 PM: Phone call with MEEAH and hat draping.  I’m getting sleepy....

12:51 AM: Hat draping... eh.  Tiara, 90%. Regency Era dress, 80% -- fittable.  Reversible wrap dress, 30%. Need to finish this in the morning.  For now, four hours of sleep?
