Typical life of a performer I guess... by 11am I'd had two shows cancelled (tonight's due to staffing problems at the venue, tomorrow's show in Brighton due to poor ticket sales), at 2pm I got offered the chance to do a TED talk, which I've agreed to, naturally. Lots of ups and downs, isn't there?
Had a cracking meeting about my team building with drums malarkey (and have a contract heading my way next week for this which is for 6 sessions from the same organisation which is brilliant) and then to my regular freelance post to get some work done for them.
My fringe shows are nowhere near ready, but I've successfully managed to re-cast the murder mystery show, with actors rather than musicians, which is cool. And for my Edinburgh show, where I've lost the band, I've decided to replace them with a choir instead. I think it can work. I've also got a director for my Edinburgh show now, finally admitting that it's not quite working the way I thought it was going to and maybe I just need a little guidance here. We worked together on a Christmas show last year and she'll kick me into shape - I won't enjoy the process as such, but it'll be a better show for it.
Got back from freelancing and with this unplanned night off I looked at my to-do list and procrastinated far too much.
