Volunteering on Saturday
Today I was signed-up to volunteer over at The Egyptian Theatre .
Grabbed a quick lunch over at Lickity Split . The usual - a turkey sandwich and soup.
I basically did alittle bit of everything volunteering today at The Egyptian, getting people to sign-up for the mailing list, passing out Theatre schedule and helping take tickets.
The series they were showing was "Technicolor".
The first movie was "Around the World in 80 Days" . 3 hours long and an intermission.
The second movie was "The Music Man".
I LUV The Music Man.
Back when I was a freshman in Highschool (1974-ish), this was the first big theatre production I was involved in.
I was on the "Props" Committee. I had to organize and place all the props for the show.
I ended up being on the Props Committee for all four productions in my freshman year.
It was my first real exposure to Theatre.
And The Music Man was the cause of my first High School Crush: The Senior who played Harold Hill.
So.. it brings back alot of memories to see the movie.
Its amazing how I remember all those songs.
I watched the first half of "Around the World in 80 Days" from the theatre. Then during intermission, I decided to sneak up to the balcony.
Its so beautiful to see a movie from the Egyptian balcony. Its just breath-taking.
Needless to say though, my radiation treatments are kicking in. No matter how much rest I get, I am sleepy.
I dosed on and off through out each movie. And I never, ever sleep during movies. I love movies so much.
But it was impossible. Try as I might.
The radiation treatments are just making me exhausted.
Well, only one week and one day left to go. I can hardly wait.
But nod off during each movie, yes, I did.
Since I was way up in the balcony, I did take a few pictures of the ceiling at The Egyptian .
