LIke I said, We're doing my play, but also my Friend Ian's Play. It doesn't have a name and it REALLY tells you a lot about my friend. "Play" is the craziest piece of... that I have ever read. No where in the entire thing can I find one reoccuring theme, any kind of tangible plot, or lines that make sense. And I'm in it! The cool part is I get to break all the rules. My character is a lazy junkie, dressed like a geek that doesn't pay attention to anything for very long. I can do anything! Walk around stage, turn my back to audience, anything! But that's not stressful in the least.

If you haven't figured it out, Ian is a very random, absurd guy. And with my play, no one has been desigated to head the crew for Ian plays. So... I AM! That's right! I'm no director, actor (2x), costume designer, set designer (2x), Set Construction head (2x) and a bunch of other stuff. I also am the one who talks to the "crew head's" (who do nothing) and G for the both of us! It's just too much... My heads going to explode! I have to focus on both plays at once!

Another thing is the attitude in Ian's play, it's completely chaotic! The actors have arguements everyday about what should go on in the play. This stems from Ian, when he wrote the play he thought "Wow, this play is so wierd. Why don't I let the actors change stuff if they want." SO now everyday there's something new someone wants to try, it'll NEVER get done at this rate! Not to mention I'm still getting harassed by Alex in this play too...

SETS! MY GOD! I'm gonna kill myself. All I want is for the supposed "crew head" to paint my tables. "Fuck no" is all I get back! "Get Lee to do it" GET LEE!! YOU'RE THE CREW! YOU DO IT AND SHUT THE FUCK UP! I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU'RE NICE CLOTHES!! JUST FUCKING DO IT! Not to mention the car the Ian HAD to write into his play. Now I'm stuck agruing with WIll and Marty on how it'll get built and with what. After the first day we decided instead of a car we'd go with a truck. 8 ft long, the bed would be 4 ft by 3 ft, the cab 2 ft by 5 ft, and the hood 2 ft by 3 ft out of a giant cardboard piece. I looked at the mesurements on the cardboard today, 11 fucking feet long! And every measurement was off by at least three inches! I was so furious! It was unacceptable! That never happened during working! God, when I'm gone this clubs gonna fall apart...
