Random mumbling


It's almost midnight and I'm just about to run out of zap-a-gap. The problem? I've just had something of a breakthrough and I'd really rather keep working. That and I just downed a bunch of coffee and trying to sleep will be futile. I have plenty of Sobo..but large doses caffeine and glue that that takes ten minutes to dry don't go very well together. So I'll post instead.

The pic? That's the 'Glen', where Shakespeare Santa Cruz holds part of it's summer festival. The model from part one is of THE TEMPEST...ack...just got bit by a mosquito! And on my face too.

Crud.

Anyway I'm designing the sets for THE TEMPEST and MUCH ADO which are the outdoor shows this year. The glen is a great natural amphitheater and a fantastic place to see a show. Remember to bring a picnic and some wine then sit back and enjoy the show.

A five minute walk or so from the 'Glen' is the 'Meadow'... you can actually see the trees that surround the glen in this panorama. You can almost see my office on the UCSC campus too, but not really. You can definitely see the Boardwalk down by the coast where I worked as a teenager. Don't ask me what I did there...you're better off not knowing.

Meadow Panorama

SSC is pretty good about letting designers take photos so I should be able to post more of this project in the coming months.

I hate mosquitos.
