23: The little website made 700!

Thanks to all the 650 viewers out there. (I say 650 because I'm sure 25 was me, and 25 was the professor who made make this site - which I'm happy he did, even though I like saying things to people a little more than typing).

The things that I learned this week are:
1. Don't bank on jobs until you have something in writing.
2. Once you scan your card to get our of a parking deck, you can't scan it again once the gate comes down until you scan it back in.
3. A new trick that you can use if you get stuck in the parking deck for an hour...
4. Never put events and fun things aside for projects. Be amazing at the work, but don't live work 24 hours.

This weekend we are moving a fellow palacion to Fredericksburg. Steve and Emma will be the first of the Arctic Palace members to move, and hopefully stay, out of Richmond. I hope to hear good things from Arctic Palace: Fredericksburg Edition.

I went to the Folk Festival this past weekend. Not bad, but we moved through it so quickly that I really don't have much to report on it. (Refer back to lesson #4). But I did see a play that I was somewhat disappointed in.

The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail, is an amazing play. I recommend reading - but I don't recommend putting the entire play on without cutting it. The book is very much how Henry David Thoreau thought. He was a transendentailist and the entire play is bascially about his thoughts about life. He goes to jail because he doesn't feel he uses what the govenment offers, thus not paying taxes on it. Again, great play to read, not great to do uneditied. I saw the unedidtied, and quite boring version of this show this Saturday. I won't mention the playhouse, because I feel that they will do amazing work later. (this was their first show).

To make an already long review short, the acting was medicore for the most part, I fell asleep during some of it (I feel this is more because I had been working too much that day), and I'm not sure what was going on with the music. It's 50/50 fault. The director and actors could have done a MUCH BETTER JOB. But, it was also the play. Because there is not much action in it, the director needed to edit this before rehearsal began.

If anyone who saw this play (Logan) would like to add their thoughts, I would love to hear them...maybe there was something I missed.

Yep.
