Two nights one days before I go

I'm sharper. Tell me a date in August and I'll tell you what day it is. I'm on it. I'm not infallible and my biggest fear is to forget to do something, forget to attend to a piece of equipment, miss a link in the chain and for a hole to appear. We are all doing our best and that is all we can hope for. The adrenalin is a flowing.I think I have a better understanding of stage lights, the difference between 16 amp and 15 amp, what they need to plug into and and what converters they need, nothing like being pushed into understanding something to make it happen. Today I put out a fire with my bar colleagues, we were training with the fire brigade... great fun and quietly traumatic... knowing the dangers in sharp focus of taking people into confined dark spaces... reality check Reilly, come back. I'm having CD covers screen printed, window images cut and couriered, screens, poles, black-out, data projectors begged and borrowed, insurances finalised. Mark is whizzing around London collecting slide projectors and lights, Bill Vine is sorting the surround sound computer mechanics, Jon is making the sounds of the universe in reverse, dogs running along corridors and falling diamonds ,Sal is making films, cutting slides, gathering artwork, sewing screens in our clothes... we are a team, we are KlangHaus, we are one. ( and we still like each other at the moment!)

Antidote to panic

When I get anxious, I sing and I breath. I count how long I can hold a note for. Today it's 32 seconds. I'm practicing singing and diaphragm exercises, core strength, support n all that... it seems to be the perfect antidote to panic. I can sing line upon line of song and that's a thrill. Am battling with writing new songs.. just gotta go with it...maybe I'll go here..
