Okay, So, TP opens tomorrow. I think I have spent more time stressed tahn ever imagined. It is a good show though. Considering for the most part This show is all me, I am glad to see the cast taking it as their own and playing and enjoying themselves all the way. "Been a long time coming."
There is a TON of buzz about this show right now. Let us hope I have a good monday.
Since this show is essentially set (and I mean essentially), I want to start choreographing DDT this saturday just to get into it (LIKE A SEX MACHINE) Probably start with truancy (Which I totally forgot in my last list.) total pop and lock piece only sexier. Either that or Intrigue... or Something is wrong. Let me look at the other blogs and figure it out.
New List.
Shoes or No shoes?
Lazerfaces' Finale
Traffic Cone stealing/set?
Lobby art work (stencils)
Get music to Dice.
Remember the lackluster reception to TOJ
Steal the bacon (you'll get it one day)
can I get a wall to "publicize" on?
Remember to turn Page's out!!!
Some Audition Material will be from "DDT"
Girls and boys pieces in show.
Need more Boys.
That's the biz for the day, folks. Heade out and about to handle business for tonight's preview. Come see the show. It's beautiful... Daytrip will be prettier.

Last Blog of Spring (or first of Summer)
Heard El-P at a bar today. first time hearing him in a public venue outside of a concert. TPC!! I'm on the Tasmanian Pain Coaster right now. A lot to do on this (Tiger Prawn) show with little time. Let me get to it. Might be a little sloopy since I am on three hours sleep each day for the last 5.
Can't wait to start choreographing.
Michael Dice Jr. is going to help pic show order. (Don't telll him though. You, and only you know this. It shall be a sweet surprise.)
-Top rock piece is going to be awesome.
-I need to get a *bloggin* camcorder.
-This show will look amazing. UPSTAGE AREA AT THE BEGINNING IS A MUST.
-I think TPC is the theme of this show. This may seem morbid butpain is everywhere and nobody seems to want to claim it. "This is the sound of what you don't know killing you. This is the sound of what you don't believe (still true.) This is the sound of what you don't want still in you..."
-"WHO WANTS TO BE AN ARTIST?" the newest hit show in a coffee shop near you.
-"Lazerfaces' Warning
-HOW DO I TALK ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS WITHOUT BEING CLICHE. (Harder than one would think.)
-"Addicted to the groundwork| footwork, you're lovin it..." (cool calm pete)
-Oh, crap!! epiphany time!! just figured out "Intrigue in the House of India" Idea. (see line above.)
-okay so I have five songs so far for sure, and they are, in no particular order:
Tasmanian Pain Coaster
Run The Numbers
TOJ
Intrigue in the House of India
Lazerfaces' Warning
Poisenville Kids/No Wins
Stepfather Factory
Delorean
Okay, so that's not five but I just need to delude myself for a couple of weeks.
This is where I am.
Go El-p. Against the grain is changing the face.
Peace
Kyle

DDT...a blog too far
About to hit tech week (what?) for Tiger Prawn the mountain mover. Excited, Anxious, Pissed. c'est la guerre. So For now these blogs are a bother but I love y'all so I will stay with it.
DDT will open with Tasmanian Pain Coaster. I already have my idea down for that one and I shall "get by with a little help from my friends." HOT!
Finally got my touring schedule which means I got my conflicts down. looks like I won't be gone too many saturdays (that definitely hurt me during TP:MM) It will be interesting to see how I manage this rehearsal process differently.
There is a great song called "Worker Ant Uprise" I would like to revisit but can't since it is in Tiger Prawn. Gotta rediscover that "Little Johnny from the Hospital" Album.
Reconsidering what needs to happen with the Poisenville Kids/No Wins piece. I really enjoy what it could be but still am not seeing it.
Need to start planning how to use that upstage area (or is it worth it to try?) Should go for a visit soon.
What are they going to wear?
think I would like eleven sections in the show (arbitrary number I assure you. Nineteen is my number and I am not THAT much of a masochist)
Preshow and Intermission tracks will be hot (different)
BBOY STANCE
Headed to meet with sarah. We need to move. Holla.

Blog of Blogs.
So...
I admittedly haven't thought about Daytrip much this week. Tiger Prawn Has taken up most of time. Here's the deal, though.
What can be gained (for both me and the dancers) from the screwy rehearsal process of Tiger Prawn?
What happens in a concert show that must be improved upon?
What can an audience handle?
What do I really want to say in this show? (I AM aware that this question has been proposed previously in the blog but I still must answer it.)
How will I make this show better than the previous two?
Rehearsal Schedule(?)
How long do I want this show to be?
Why do we not do rep shows all the time?
Am I good enough?
Sorry it's a ton of questions to myself this week. That is where I am.
Amp is on the way (nice!) finally can start trying to mix things.

The Blog of Frustration (@!*#!!)
So you may inquire where the other, earlier blog posts are.
Well through some fucked up process of dealing with email problems the blogger account has dissappeared. So I will be trying to salvage what I can of the old one through some creative use of google (though I hate them right now.)
Anyway, I'm gonna get to it before I pour bleach and battery acid over my keyboard.
So...
(*still pissed off!!*)
-So I just had an amazing idea for daytrip. The song StePfAtHER fACtorY. Had something in mind bUT Now I have a way To gET it.
-Now that I have the perfect woMen's Piece (interlude or full length?) just need to start cReaTiNG.
-cOLLABORATION?
-Definitely going to end the Show with Lazerfaces' Warning
-Remember to start listening to the HIGh WatEr SesSIoNs and CoLlectINg the KiD again. INTRigue in tHE hOUse Of India is a MUST.
-Purchasing an Amp Next Week. need a table within the next couple weeks as well. Probably start mixing and compiling for serious in mid june in my free time (HA!!)
-Remember: Video Tape!!
Tired and frustrated. Need rest but won't get it. Back to work. Gotta Get this Blog Caught up.

Today is a bloggin lovely day
Forgive me for this "artsy" blog. So I'm shacked up in this hotel room outside of dc and JUST StarTED dANCING In front of the mirror SeeING where THE dAYtrip movement should come from. The only thiNG iCAN remember is speed. LOTS OF SPEED. Flailing my limbs about is fun and liberating and exhausting... all of those things I love and need in my life. I want to make sure this SHOW taps into my emotional side (one which I find hard to not analyze intellectually) and show all of the emotional aspects of my job, my personal life, my love life (or consistent lack there of. It's hard when caring about SOMEONE is always placed on the BACKBURNER after loving SOMETHING, i.e. my craft and ambitions to master it.) What will be FUN challenge is getting everyone to understand where my style of movement comes from. Don't get me wrong, on the surface it is obvious (bboy, capoeirista, ballet, yada yada yada...) but teaching other people how to do it is another. Transitions are important to me but often prove difficult since I am definitely a doter on moments that appeal to me. Smoothing out my love would better serve this show.
Things to remember~
Brian's solo with reinforcements
What will take the place of "High Resolution"?
Who put the bop in the bop-shoo-bop? (just checking if you're reaDING)
Will the ISWYD Instrumentals be available in time to edit some of the show?
How many Full cast pieces should there be? 4? 4's a good number.
Remember: Top Rock Lovers Who do Ballet
What can we actually do that no one else can do, physically?
Are we really a "trick" company anymore?
Rasperry Fields/ Battle for Asgard beat
Sweeps and reverse grinders and cOIN dROPS
I have a poster to edit do to some miscommunications with the DCA. gOTTA go.
quote for the night:
"Centerfold Dreams/ These lights can Unfold to Show you Such a beautiful thing/
Beautiful Thing/ Such a beautiful thing"

What the Blog?!
So, It occurs to me that I have forgotten about the song "Intrigue in the House of India" from the High Water Sessions album. Brilliant Jazz Song!!!!!!! ALL CAPS. The rehearsal process for this show will be very different. none of the ... What I would Like to do is start choreographing and recording during the run of Tiger Prawn. That way, COM aUGUST AND sEPTEMBER, i CAn Just pump it out. and give it to these dancers. I fully intend to over choreograph this show. "Let us pray." That way ALL we have to do is trim the fat and put it in a tangible and evocative order. Gotta start planning this now.
The List
Intrigue in the House of India (By Myself?)
My OWN Soloo (Oh Shit!!) I THINK Dear Sirs is a good candidate. It is short enough to go "Balls out" but strong enough to leave an impact.
Boys piece. (When shall we be graced with more men?)
Ladies' Piece (El-P's music is definitely a man's world)
Lighting the second stage
My Bad-ass Idea for Preshow music (so hot!)
Lobby Display (Very Dark)
Toodles For Now. Enjoy the morning hours.
