here is the prank we pulled for opening on the prop run crew. each candle was hot glued to the floor and filled with yellow sand and yellow glitter. some had fake flames in them, and a few even had battery operated flames. . . we heard it made a fantastic mess!

this was bought at toys r us as part of the opening night festivities. the 'slow kid' came out when either our crew, or other crews were performing, well, slowly at their tasks. a source of great amusement. . . well, for us at least :)

so amy mark was the orchestra services supervisor this year. we saw each other in passing throughout the summer, hung out a bit at the beginning, and here at the end. she had a good summer, and it was comforting to have someone from school around. sadly, our schedules didn't allow us to spend a whole lot of time together during the throws of the summer.

we did the georgia o'keefe hike again this year. it was hot, as usual. and lee here had a few phases of hotness. first, with shirt and tank, then just tank, then neither. . . and how could i stop from taking this shot with all the clouds.
