The Longest Yard
Posted on | July 25, 2008 | No Comments
Sunday is a very special day.
Sunday is the first entire day in months when I have no obligations. No day job. No rehearsal. No extra-curricular filming. No show I promised to see. Nothing.
(Well, I do have a costume fitting – but seriously, that’s dress-up.)
Laughter on the 23rd Floor closes – and I say “finally” in the most non-loaded fashion possible – tomorrow night. Trust has a designer run-through tomorrow during the day.
But Sunday is mine. All mine.
What shall I do? Watch The Wire? Watch Deadwood? Sleep? Who knows!
Well, actually, I know what I will really be doing. I am mere hours from sending out the long-promised PerformInk/Chicago Theater Database Season Preview. The prep work for this has been insanely consuming – I had to design a new survey from scratch, trying desperately to anticipate the needs of every possible user, while still figuring out a way to ensure the information we get out of it is actually, you know, understandable.
I’ve also spent a considerable amount of time tracking down email addresses for theatre companies. Of the 239 companies I will be emailing direct, personal invitations to, we only came up short on 17 – a hit rate of 93%! I’ve posted a call-to-arms on the Datablog – so please head over there to see if you can help close the gap.
I also know we still don’t have everybody in the tent – so I’ll be asking you all for help on this in the next few days. Please check back this weekend for your mission, should you choose to accept it.
And I promise (super pinky swear) my imminent return to semi-regular blogging grows imminent-er.
