Life with a touring puppeteer: 1998, Day 13

Tuesday, October 20, 1998
Day Thirteen

Load inSorry about the hiatus in updates, but I have the power cord for my computer again. A quick summary of Tuesday.

I thought I had fixed Sungura and he was mostly better, but of course, broke again. I just don’t have the right tools on tour to fix him.

But it’s becoming so normal to repair him that the real highlight was our load-in for the second show. I’ve already said that we don’t like stairs. Take a look at our load-in. We were on the second floor. Those stairs Joe is standing on go down two more flights. It was extremely unpleasant. If you ever invite a group to perform, please let them know ahead of time if you have stairs. This load-in added thirty minutes to our set-up time.
