I have just landed a dream job. Ector Theater in Odessa, TX is contracting me to build, and design, a brand-new set of Little Shop puppets. I won’t quote numbers here, because that would be rude, but it is enough to hire a shop space and employee stitchers, mold-makers, and builders to make a really hot set of puppets. Which means that I have enough work to be able to afford to stay in Portland until July. At least. AND they are bringing me down to perform in the show. Hurrah! I don’t have a physical contract in hand but they’ve accepted my bid and sketched the details of the contract via e-mail.
Did I mention that this means I get to stay home with Rob?
