Burning the bulb at both ends?

Share this Post:
I’m on a show site in Palm Springs right now.

I’m getting married in a little more than a week.

The producer wants to know why (with my meager budget) I don’t have more lights for the cyc.

The band wants to use the CD player so that they don’t have to learn the music for my first dance with my (soon-to-be) wife.

The video guys want to know why I have so many lights on the cyc.

And my dad (for some reason) thinks all of this is happening a week early.

It’s entirely possible that I’m burning the candle at both ends.  Was I shocked then to wake up this morning with a fever and a sore throat?

I think not.

So, it’s not surprising that I was reminded of an article that Brad wrote last year called ‘The Show Will Go On’ .

If you didn’t catch it then, take a minute to go back and read it .  There’s plenty of sage advice to be found.

Now if I would just take a moment to listen…

Here’s hoping for a short rehearsal,

Phil
