First day in Toronto
// July 4th, 2007 // Blog, Kris's Soapbox
It was a bit precarious, but we made it. I got a lift to The Big Smoke with Dave Dawson and the crew from Blacksheep Theatre (they’re doing Tangelico and Trashcan Duet) and got into town sometime after 1 AM. I imagine we would have been here earlier, but we had a lot of stuff to pack into Dave’s van (a seat, a goat, a pot, a very nice sweater, and a ton of clothes) and we had to attach Cara Yeates’ bike to the roof. Cara Bye Bye Bombay Yeates bought a bike for the Ottawa run of her show and asked Dave to bring it to Toronto for her. He said yes, because he’s a sweet guy, but he wasn’t thinking about how he was going to attach the bike to the van. Being theatre people and having no bungee cords, we resorted to duct taping the bike to the top of the vehicle. There were momentary fears of having to give Cara only one wheel when we got here, or having to pull over to pull a helpless woman out of a burning car that was suddenly stuck by a flying mountain bike on the highway… but it all worked out.
Today we hang up posters and give flyers to anyone who will take them. Tomorrow, we tech. I hope I remember my lines.
