So we are now 1/5 into the run and starting to settle into a bit of a rhythm. I'm getting used to becoming a night owl, as that is the only way I actually get enough rest. The Aerialistas are still rehearsing daily (except on double show days) and constantly evolving and refining our act in the air. Our next big project is a white trash Thanksgiving celebration and we've invited the whole international cast and crew. We will be provided a very modified historical pageant of the Thanksgiving story...think cowboys, reptilian overlord, Noah's ark.
Things I've learned so far...
1. It is okay to wear three bras in my bellhop costume...bigger is better
2. Olive oil removes stage makeup and makes you smell like a sauteed version of yourself
3. Passing gas is more offensive here than in the states
4. Dogs are really gods in the German mind
5. Food service that is not motivated by tips, is...less than motivated
6. Someone going "gluten free" here would essentially starve or resort to cannibalism
7. Gluewein is the universal lubricator for creaky bodies
8. Don't order water at a restaurant, you could get a cocktail for less euros, and why not? Cocktails any time of day is the norm
9. There are as many varieties of cured meats here as there are varieties of singer/songwriters in the PNW
10. A post show beer from the vending machine massages away any bumming of what went wrong in the show.
