a little ramp up

in which there are about five weeks before a week long SF-based rehearsal residency at NOHspace and we have so very much to do...

now that the musicians have matched themselves to the individual plays, now that they have the most recent scripts, the most recent run-through audio and are aware of what still needs to be done there comes to light (here on the doorstep of the 2006-2007 holiday retail convulsion) that dawning sense of...dread? desperation? or is it really that big of a deal? Is the actual creation of the music really that problematic? or, let's face it...isn't it actually the logistical arrangements, information dispersal protocols and basic semantic near-misses that are the real challenge?

songs are songs. scheduling...now that's where things can get sticky.
