Crazy week for me at work.  The annual Choir and Orchestra Easter presentation, First Easter, is coming up on the 5th of April.  I didn’t realize that, so I took off this coming week for Spring Break since Kayce will be out.  I don’t know how I missed that, but I’m going to be working some of this week just to get ready for the program.  I’ve spent several hours already with my good friend “The Soldering Iron” making a 3 to 5 pin DMX cable.  Pat and I came up with, what should be, a really awesome lighting/stage setup.  I’ve been working on making it work.  I had to do some electrical work to get power to the lights on stage, then create the cable so I can control the lights and a hazer from the booth.  We are using Martin Mac 500’s and 600’s, they are moving head intellegant lights, for effect lighting.  All our principal lights are traditional theatrical lights.  It’s alot of fun, and I get to teach myself alot of neat stuff.  I really enjoy my job.  So, I’m not too bummed about spring break, I like this particular part of my job. 

We also had a great night last night…  Kayce and I got a chance to have a date night.  I really wanted to (Don’t know why…) go see Monsters Vs. Aliens in IMAX 3D.  I had never seen a movie in IMAX, before… So we went.  It was pretty good.  I don’t think I would take Parker to see it yet.  Some of the humor was alittle crude for young children, plus it might be alittle scary for young kids.  Especially at the beginning when Susan transforms into the giant and is promptly and forcably imprisoned by a top secret government agency.  But on the whole, the movie was good, and the 3D was better than most I’ve seen.  We got there alittle late (hung up at the Popcorn counter…), so our seats weren’t the best.  Our seats were great at T.G.I. Fridays, right next to our food.  Very convient.
