Asap, i promise.<\/p>\n<p>As to how they&#8217;re going&#8230; i&#8217;m not the person to tell you. I play piano for it, so i&#8217;m sitting there worrying about not messing up and mostly happy when i or no one else messes up.<\/p>\n<p>After the shows we have some questions and answers and there have been some good questions. I don&#8217;t know if i&#8217;ve given good answers because i&#8217;m in that post show jittery state.<\/p>\n<p>It feels like things are going okay&#8230; as each night goes by the performances are getting smoother and smoother.<\/p>\n<p>What has been very nice is the opportunity to meet some people who have enjoyed the Steampunk Opera and who came a ways just to see this. Two fine gentlemen from Northern England were there on the first night and i got to chat with them and put faces to names in the comment section. I lift my glass to you. And to the girl last night who flew in from Norway JUST TO SEE IT: Bless you. If you tell me who you are i will send you&#8230; anything you want. A video of the making of the show? Of the performance? A pre-release copy of The Dieselpunk Opera? (Jonathan, you guys can have this too) You left before introducing yourself and i had no idea you came so far for our tiny little workshop, but i wish you had introduced yourself because i would have thanked you and thanked you for caring so much or given you a medal, or a flower or SOMEthing.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, i know most of you out there are curious to see footage or hear how it&#8217;s going. Footage will come. There is little else i can tell you. I mean, no one has thrown spoiled vegetables at us or anything, so, you know, that&#8217;s always a good thing. I can tell you this, tonight and tomorrow will be recorded and i hope they&#8217;re the finest nights of the run. And let&#8217;s just hope this all leads somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>A huge Thank You everyone who&#8217;s come and may be reading this. I really do hope you&#8217;ve enjoyed it and we hope we get the opportunity to bump it all up a notch, develop these ideas (you should hear what the ACTUAL vision for some of these ideas are. The little projection thing at the beginning? You&#8217;d have to imagine that much bigger, much more fully animated, and depicting the changes to New Albion at the beginning of each generation in each new Albion song.)<\/p>\n<p>Also, the puppet is kicking ass, as are our excellent performers. I&#8217;ll post some vids when i can, i promise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I will post some video, but you&#8217;ll have to wait until the performances are done.
