Faire Report!
Howdy campers!
Well, finally found a little time to sit and report on recent events and such.
First gig of the season went pretty well for us... in fact, it was our second highest paying faire to date, and considering the dreadful heat and smallish attendance, that's saying something indeed. We broke our single show hat-pass record twice over the weekend, and that's pretty cool too.
We did premiere our two new shows, and although they weren't as solid as I might have hoped, they actually went over really well. We held our audiences, and that was important. We added a fifth performer to the line up, and she really came through with flying colors. I was a little worried about her when we started rehearsals... she seemed quiet and a little intimidated perhaps... but once she got on stage she turned into a real tigress... big voice, great physicality... just really put her all into it. I think she may have more to do with our success this weekend than I'd care to admit. :P
So, overall I'd call it a qualified victory. This being only the third year we've been running around and only our second year doing stage shows, I'd say we're definately headed in the right direction. Looks like we might go through another round of personell changes in the near future tho... one of the performers decided this was his last show with us... but didn't bother to tell me why. In fact, he didn't bother to even explain to me in person. I don't know about you, but when somebody decides to give you bad news via email, I consider it a little on the immature side of things. But... oh well. It's not like we're going to give up because he's not with us anymore. We'll replace him and move on... bigger and better things are definately on the horizon.
Hope everyone had a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend!
Peace!
