Nov. 13th, 2013 04:58 pmI'm shattered! I was up until 1 last night and didn't sleep that well. Why? Because it was a Corrie event night and the show went great! I even got to hang out with the actor and the organizing committee after and i stayed overnight in the hotel. The bed was really comfy but i was still wound up and as it was a different bed, i guess i was just not quite at ease. Up earlyish when a text blasted through my phone at 7:30, right beside my head on the bedside table. I had breakfast with some of the committee women and then headed to the gym. Tired! Got home late morning and started in on the photos, and the write up and I'm starting to fade.
The actor for the show last night was Marc Baylis who plays Rob Donovan. He's a relatively new character but he was amazing. He was very articulate and well spoken, funny and with lots of great stories. He looks tall on screen but he's exactly my height (5'8). A lot of the cast, women especially, are quite small and a lot of the men are short as well so someone his height ends up looking like a giant! These evenings by the Downeast Streeters are always so nice, too. There are usually slideshows, a chance to buy a photo and autograph opportunity, sometimes there's merchandise for sale, raffle tickets, and the guest always does a question and answer, with questions from the audience as well. It always goes over well and the fans that attend always say how nice it is.
It's a late night and i volunteer at the show too so it's busy but it's so much fun. Then during the show I make frantic and sometimes undecipherable notes to do my writeup from plus run up and find a place to take pictures. It looked like he really enjoyed himself too. He's now off to Toronto for a British Isles exhibit where he'll sit and sign autographs for an hour, three times a day for 3 or 4 days. Sign, shake hands, sit in front of a backdrop for a photo, repeat. It's a tough gig up there. There's no q&a, and the fans line up for hours. I went one year and it was a bit of a zoo.
Monday was a holiday and i took yesterday and today off. Back to work for 2 days and after that, i'll be taking Fridays off now until Christmas.
