Another day on the farm. Yesterday was eventful! I got to show the art director my hand-drawn mazes and he loved them. I got excited hearing about all the production ideas he was considering for them. We talked about printing them off on the new industrial printer Shambhala purchased this year. He also considered laser etching a maze on wood which would be sweet. Either way he wants to use them in the new food court building in the middle of town. It would be a good addition to the new coffee/smoothie bar being built there now.
I got my first taste of wet weather yesterday. The afternoon was engulfed in storm. Biggest hail I've seen in years. I can tell you working under a tin roof, hail is deafening!
I clocked another 14 hours yesterday which, in a kitchen, would usually send me batty but this kitchen vibe is much more enjoyable. Art is a fair boss, but I am noticing his temper flaring up. I'm starting to thing cooking as a job has the ability to get to anyone. Sometimes I think that all my kitchen experience has made me handle stress better, but I'm still done with it. I can't enjoy a life funded by kitchen work. I wonder if I would be a twig that would snap at any soft pressure had I not put all those years of kitchen work on my resume. Either way I need a new gig, but this particular one is probably as good as it gets.
I got a little midnight tour of the stages last night. Got to see all the 15 foot video mapping screens in the shape of giant sunflowers the Fractal Forrest is installing, checked out the new stage additions. if you thought the Fractal Forrest had a packed stage last year just wait! It will be covered in celebrators this year. The village is getting a serious overhaul too. As it was midnight the village crew was hard at work when we got there. The stage will be brand new this year, I can't wait to see it finished.
The beach stage is being rebuilt too. It seems like everything is getting bigger and better. The high water this year did a number on the beach so there's a lot of ground that was washed away.
It is foggy today. it was wet last night. My micro tent survived. I am relieved about this, but I still need a tent upgrade should I expect to maintain my sanity.
As I write this it's 7:30, I'm sitting on the beach enjoying the running waters. I just heard Art blow the conch letting everyone know breakfast is served, but I don't work till 9 so I think I'll spend the next 90 minutes hunting down a good rock stack patch and then maybe start the diamond maze on the generator building.
