In a recent conversation with a good friend

[anysia]

I emailed him a picture of what I looked like just prior to the Costa Azura performance. He said it looked cool. I told him it took 2 hrs to get ready, and 45 seconds to wash it all off. Then he asked me how long was a performance, and I told him anywhere between 10 minutes to being around for a few hours.

He then quipped "Reminds me of the statue of liberty. With that I mean: 3 hours wait, 1 hour climb, 5 minute view, 30 mins descend."

Ya know, that is probably one of the best descriptions of getting ready for and then performing I have ever heard. (raises a glass of gingerale to said friend) Well said!

I was just thinking about that yesterday while musing on Saturday's performance. Two hours to get ready: two hours waiting around; five minutes on stage. Hmmm...sure was fun tho.

OH yeah

I pretty much busted a gut laughing at his description, as it was so accurate. I am just grateful that we have been getting performances that are 1 hrs worth of time out there. Makes the 2 hrs getting ready, then 45 seconds to remove the make up a bit less.... I want to say wasted effort, but that isn't quite what I mean.
