I'm so tired

We pulled just barely ahead of schedule today. We got the art in the theatre hung in no time. The theatre art is actually pretty neat. It's all Looney Tunes characters in famous paintings. There's one of The Scream that has Elmer Fudd and then Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny in the background holding signs that say Duck Season and Rabbit Season. When they're lit they kind of glow and look like real paintings and not just printed vinyl. After hanging the theatre artwork we spent about an hour trying to figure out what was going on with all of the art for the lobby. It all comes down to things not being labeled well at all. Plus, there aren't really any pictures of what the lobby is supposed to look like when it's done so we were just looking at the ceiling and matching eyebolts in the ceiling with cables on the poles to figure out what might go where. We spent most of the afternoon puzzling over a pole labeled "Horses' Butt" that seemed to go to a print that was totally lost. I finally figured out that the "Horses' Butt" print hasn't been used in that venue for years and actually now resides in the Press Tent (where I've hung it for the last four years). We managed to get few pieces up in the lobby before we had to give the lift back to the Conference Center guy so that they could start setting up for the Mushroom Festival Banquet tonight. We're doing okay, but we have to share the lift with the lighting crew tomorrow so there's not too much we can do until after lunch. I'm actually going to go to the hardware store tomorrow and get batteries for my camera so I can post some more pictures.
