Seriously I deserve a medal, not only for the craploads of work the committee and I put in to getting the concert going, but also for dealing with a select few naggers who just wouldn't leave me alone, (this includes the member of the chorus who knows nothing about sound tech and wanted to sit the Technician down and discuss how he was going to be setting us up on the night! Not kidding!)
I did have one break-down on the day, more in anger than stress. But after our insisting pleas to the main MGLC to buy their tickets ASAP as we were almost sold out, I was presented with the dilemma that most of the main chorus had not purchased their tickets!
It's great to know we have sold out a show sans a good chunk of people we were relying on to fill the audience but I think my outburst of, "What do you mean you all haven't got fucking tickets? Do you think the emails saying there are ten tickets left had fine print saying - don't worry though, I'll get you in on the day *wink*."
Needless to say, I may have insulted a few people...
So with my amazing charm and a little guile, I was able to procure another 20 seats (despite OH&S concerns).
I say guile, because I set up the extra seats and then showed the operation manager they were far enough from the stage, and I think she conceded to avoid the Wrath-of-a-Raging-Queen...
So my day started at 9am, and I worked (and sang) right through until 11pm... I didn't feel like going to the after-party and to my absolute joy was able to have one drink and then blame my boy saying he was too tired (he took one for team Damo) - GTFO of there and go to bed!
