Day 2 shows its bruises



Well friends Dia Dos showed some promise,


Once again starting at 2, we all crawled slowly to a start.  All the gals had to prep their heads for wigs, seeing as how no lady that takes a step on stage has her real PELO(hair in Spanish) shown.  So, I think we may have not started til 3. But, then started diligently working on the WHAT YOU WANT section that takes place at Harvard. 

Spacing was extensive, cause no matter how much it looks great in the rehearsal room you always have to rework things. Not only do we have more room on stage, but we finally have the double doors, costumes(which are slightly restrictive and about as nonbreathable a fiber as if you wrapped yourself in your grandmas couch upholstery from the 50's---classic band costumes), and an army of bun heads running around.  Its funny, cause all the Nu's have their mic packs in their wig cap. So, its like the TV show ALIENS combined with CONEHEADS.  

As we meandered into BLOOD IN THE WATER, doorOGRAPHY soon reared its pretty head. Ven and I turn the Callahan door unit at the end as Becky is ejected, and the combined weight of that and our cast was like figuring out how to get a huge double wide down the highway.  And in the midst of movements, accident #1 happened. Tally had his fingers slammed in the door.  

After two hours, and the appearance of two bands of bruises(which could be internal bleeding), Tally went to the hospital.  Three hours later, he was discharged with the official diagnosis that he was just bruised. BUT, he was also given the great present of a huge block of cheese that looks like the head of a PACKERS fan. This is to help elevate his finger to prevent too much blood, though i would have opted for popsicle sticks and just sticking his hand in the air.  I smell a possible halloween costume...

We ended up the night with the HARVARD Party. But, sadly, the bunny costume had to be flown back to NYC cause it didnt fit Becky perfectly. So, we were met with a nice plush pink jumper.   Boys across America let your mind go wild.....

Tomorrow we have press coming to take photos and some video for publicity, so I am finally going to have to break down and shave- as will the rest of the men.  I am now going to look like a 15 year old ........GLORIOUS!
