Opened the day in the nicest way, with a companionable walk with Joanne up to Town and Country shopping center, to buy a couple of things at Trader Joe and have coffee-and at Douce France, Joanne’s favorite coffee shop. Well, not only hers, it’s very popular. Don’t tell Joanne, but I think the pastries at Mme Coulette’s are better. But we walked and chatted happily all the same.
Then I did a bunch of tech stuff. I replaced the microphone that got broken during the drama event last week. And I experimented with using BlueTooth to feed audio into our sound system. This involves sending audio from my laptop, at the AV desk, thirty feet and through a wall, to a media device in the electronics cabinet backstage. This seemed to work and I was very pleased. The quality of the music playing through that system was much better than if I fed it from the Mac’s headphone jack into an input on the sound board. Later, not so happy.
At 2 it was time go and set up for the big Val Day rehearsal. There were a lot of glitches, and I came away with a long list of things to alter in the video. My own performance of Annie’s Song went alright.
Neighbor Carolyn invited me to dinner with a couple other people, Bob and Romie, long dinner with lots of talk, very pleasant.
