Tour

"You're confusing me."

(copied from the webs blog)

Floating World has come and gone. After all the prep work that went into it, it would be nice to relax. That's not going to happen... SalonCon is less than a month away.

As for FW, it was a fun event. There was some trouble getting there this week, between cast interaction and not getting direct answers from the venue for what to expect. Sound did not work out as we hoped or expected. In fact we had to use a boombox that didn't carry sound very, very well so who knows what the audience actually heard. But we had an audience! And they clapped! It was certainly my worst Viktor ever; I gave up banter after about a minute and a half of blank faces. But they got way more into during the performances.

"Tell Me" was largely improvised by Regina and myself. We had an idea going in what we wanted to do, but it all came together on the stage. My favorite moments were throwing Regina to the floor (hot!) and taking her against my hips and twirling her around, her hair flying (hotter!).

Genevieve and Danielle rocked the hell out of "#1 Crush" and Sandy pulled off "Closer" very well (I felt so bad that she couldn't hear the music as clearly; with a song like "Closer" that is largely monotonous, that's killer), and Angie mesmerized for both "Poison Ivy" and "Why Don't You Do Right." Jordana, Genevieve, and I got through "Script Language" without a misstep and I think it looked really good.

Truly, the whole set worked out brilliantly. I would love to do the exact set again (next time, as Danielle pointed out, with a stronger final song-- "Why Don't You Do Right" is a lot of fun, but a more energetic track afterwards would've sealed the show a bit better), and we very likely may for the Labyrinth show (more on that another time--but I'm hoping it will feature both irony and ironing) or October if I get my way. The exciting November show is also still on the horizon...

The rest of evening featured our cast participating with Midnight Seduction. After the extremely quick show we just performed, I'm not sure everyone was really gearing to have a low-key roleplaying session with strangers, but we all ended up having a lot of fun. It was far more interactive (and voluntary) than we had realized, and the time flew by. We met a lot of great people, several of whom may be coming to our other upcoming shows or may be able to hook us up.

After the show, we packed and headed to a diner where we gabbed for quite a long time.

As always, a bit of post-show depression (it was over too fast!) but that's good--gets us ready for the next one.
