Adventures of the Legal Dan

I posted a post last night, but the net evidently wasn’t working, and didn’t post… so here it is:

“Well, 4 of my 5 trials are done… and I think most of them went ok. I have another at the end of the month.

Also in my life, the last couple of evenings I’ve spent helping out backstage with Dad for a performance of “Beauty and the Beast”… It’s been good fun, despite some setbacks. Part of the scenery is a large backdrop, broken into three sections. On one side is a town face, and on the other it is a balcony. This is broken into 3 sections, each about4 metres long, 1.5 wide and nearly 3 tall. Each of these weighs about 500 kg. Now, these are supposed to be turned around several times throughout the play, to change the scene. Therefore for the first performance, they were on wheels. Guess what happens half way through? The small wheels broke . Lots of little ball bearings went all over the stage, and we had to move this huge prop by just scraping it along the ground. So after that, we now have to use blocks of wood covered in lubricant… which means it’s quite a workout! We are hoping to have big wheels by Wednesday though (There is a performance tomorrow, Wednesday, Friday and two on Saturday).

Other than that, I haven’t really done much with myself… so goodnight “
