Alright everyone.
Well it's been an un-exciting week so far, lots of rain during the mornings has left us with very few people in the Audeince. We're still down to 2 shows a day except for weekends and holidays so the workload is pretty decent.
It was Amanda's (one of the yank girls) birthday on Monday so we all went to tyhe local biker bar and resteraunt and had a nice meal and plenty of drinks. Was good fun :-)
No show disasters of recent, we have a guy from Sigma (fx people) working on some of the broken effects aat the moment so the show is nearing completion. We still have some changes due to be made, I've been given some more lines but they havent been edited into the soundtrack yet. Just been told that we'll be rehearsing at some point tomorrow. The end of the show needs tweaking too, at the moment the audience dont really know when to clap which makes it awkward for us on stage, standing looking like lemons :-P
So that's about it for now, hopefully we'll have 2 good runs today despite the small audeinces, if anything happens i'll let you know!

Show highlights, weekend.
Alright everyone so i'll start where i left off with Saturdays shows:
Show 3 highlights: all was going well until Gambits entrance whereupon he proceed to spin his stick and launch it across the stage (it was bound to happen sometime) there was a ripple of pity from the audience and Aidan ran to retrieve the stick just in time for the flame throwers to go off. A bit later on in the show one of the CO2 guns failed to work causing a bit of a plot hole in the script but hey :-P
So onto today...
Show 1 highlights: About 5 minutes from the end of the show we were plunged into darkness, however all special effects and sound kept going so we carried on with the show (pretty difficult for me especially as i can hardly see with the Cyclops goggles as it is!) Later we found out that the lighting programming had decided to skip back to the very beginning of the show where only the stage curtain is lit.
Show 2 highlights: Not too much to report on the show we just did except the CO2 gun i use at the end of the show had been leaking throughout and by the time i picked it up there was gas erupting out of the thing. Still got to shoot Magneto with it though so no problems :-)
Show three coming up soon. We're about due a show with no errors at all!

Weekend!
Hello all.
Well i'm pleased to report that Aidan did a brilliant job covering me on Thursday. I had a brief lie-in before going into the park in time to catch the second show which I filmed. Because Thursday was a holiday in Germany the park was very busy, it felt strange to be up in the audience for a change but it was great to be able to see what the crowd see's.
During the 3rd show I sat right at the front with my camera but had to obey the no flash photography rule meaning all the photos are a bit blurry but nevermind. The funniest thing about the 3rd show were the groupies sat near to where I was who spent most of the time taking pictures of me... sitting there, watching the show. Groupies are funny.
So Yesterday was Friday, David Draves (one of the higher ups from mirage) had been back for a couple of days to monitor the shows progress. He watched the first show and then gave us a few notes on things that are yet to change. Most of the notes werent about us, they were more focused on some technical issues and the like. I've also been told that they'll be recording a new line for me to clear up a mildly confusing part of the show.
We also got payed yesterday so a small handful of us and people from the other stunt show in the park all went to the Irish bar in the local (ish) shopping centre.m I took it easy knowing that we'll have big crowds again today and tumbling hungover isn't very fun at all.
That's all for now, will update again soon :-)

Briefly...
Today so far...
Highlights of show 1: Had to bail out of my wallflip as the cover guy was late getting to me and wasn't holding my arm correctly. Didnt matter too much. Other than that a good show.
Highlights of show 2: Some kid in the front row decides to puke up very close to the stage and sits there for 5 minutes before leaving. Smell was horrible but whole situation was pretty funny.
Show 3 coming up at 5:30, It's very very hot today so just chilling out between shows without shirts on. No internet tonight but we have a router in the green room now so i'll probably keep doing the whole "show highlights" thing :-)
Bye for now!

Good morning.
Hello readers.
Well today is my first official day off, in about half an hour Aidan will be performing as Cyclops and I might start thinking about getting out of bed. Yesterday we did 2 shows with our back-up Magneto, they were pretty disasterous, in the first show his costume pants wouldn't stay up, for literally the whole show. We were all doing our best not to burst out laughing but had to remain a little bit proffesional. Also, he didn't know his lines or his blocking making it harder for the rest of us to perform like we usually do. Anyway, the second show was a bit better but I think everyone will be glad to have Phil back today.
Last night a few of us went to the local Brauhaus for "Die Party", pronounced "dee party". We didn't know what to expect since there's a lot of middle-aged and elderley people in Kirchhellen but by the time we went inside the room was full and the average age looked a lot lower than we'd thought. Beer was very cheap so we all had a few drinks whilst occassionally dancing. Was a fun night :-)
So here I am at home, I'm probably going to Rollerskate into work shortly as I really want to see Aidan as Cyclops plus i've never seen the show from the audience before, will be taking my camcorder in to film the results.
Speak to you all soon folks.

Interesting day.
Hello people.
Well today should be very interesting, we have a lot of people covering today so we're not performing with our "A-Cast" infact it's more like our "C-Cast" but there you go.
We're about to go and do a run-through to see how disasterous the shows are going to be. We still have our lead Cyclops, Gambit, Nightcrawler and Wolverine but that's about it :-P
Big party at the Brauhaus in Kirchhellen tonight so i might not get to update again but yesterday I put another months worth of credit on my internet USB so will no doubt get to write a large update soon :-)
Fingers crossed for today :-S
