THE GOOD
Our exhibit pushed through despite the rain, and things went well. While it wasn't the cleanest show, it seems nobody really noticed. The people who actually braved the weather and came to see the show enjoyed it (or at least pretended to). Looks like we'll probably be doing another show some time soon... and this time we might actually receive compensation for our work.
THE BAD
More than half the world cancelled. Events all over the place were cancelled. Sponsors cancelled... meaning no free printing from Canon. People who said they would come to the show cancelled. Equipment came late. Work was cancelled (but this is a good thing, right?).
Of course, we can't really blame anybody. Despite what we could see right outside Temple, we knew the weather really was bad.
THE UGLY
My old 7110 came to life and died again in the span of only 12 hours. She came back, but didn't stay very long. Well, I'm heading back to have her repaired again today, weather permitting.
The first 2 shows of May Day Eve have been cancelled. Unless new play dates are added, the only shows left are the ones on the 7th, 14th, 17th, & 18th.
As I was driving home last night, I couldn't ignore the darkness. I could have switched off my headlights (and my radio) and I would have found myself enveloped in total darkness. I'm exaggerating, of course, but it really was darker than usual. Why? The power was out. I could have opted to head over to a friend's place, or stayed in Makati, or do anything but head home - but instead I drove home to a house with no electricity.
