“Do you know what slap means?”

.
Turns out it’s an acronym for set, lights, and props, usually appended by the word “crew.” I’ve learned a lot of new things performing at the Lutcher Theater, including that people from Orange, Texas are the nicest people in the world. After the shows a volunteer crew set out a potluck lunch, and the whole cast left with a Lutcher Theatre stress-ball and fridge magnet. The food was delicious. I didn’t even know I liked coleslaw, but apparently I love coleslaw.

Getting back into the swing of things after our little break hasn’t been hard. In fact, it already feels like we didn’t have a break at all. I’m reminded of Allen Strange, that old Nickelodeon show about an alien trying to fit in on Earth: “Time has no meaning in the Pod.” Replace the word “Pod” with “van” and there you have it.

In other news, nothing is bigger in Texas except the grass. The actual blades of grass themselves are wider. Neat.

“Have some of this, I bought it for Mr. Lyle Lovett, last time he was here.”


It was tea, in case you were curious.
