Ack. Tonight was the sweatiest rehearsal ever. I got to RCW early in order to tighten a shime for the big show before the rehearsal started. That got me really sweaty. It was just dripping off me as I was standing on top of that drum, pulling my heart out. I was a little embarrased because when I brought the shime over to Janet to ask her something about it I was making a puddle and trying not to get it on her. Then when we were rehearsing, I got even more sweaty. My shirt was soaked and my hair was all wet and it was as if there were a raincloud hovering over just me. Janet too. After a run-through she said, There's water all over the stage and I know it's not all from me! It was like a scene from Flash Dance! Not that I'm complaining. Sweat is good. Crissy said that she tries not to drink too much water in order to not get sweaty. I guess that's a good theory, especially when you have such impressive performing experience like her, but you need water to keep you going, and sweat is not such a bad thing. Kinda gross, but not so bad. The only time I don't like it is when I'm performing and it runs into my eyes and blinds me, but, eh. When I got home and out of my shirt, I noticed I'm losing a lot of minerals--salt maybe? I've been drinking gatorade lately--more for the sugar than anything else--but I guess I need that little kick of sodium to keep the blood levels in balance.
Oh this is going to be a great show. I am working with really amazing people, and I know they are nothing but good influence. I have so much to learn. And I am so inspired to work harder on solos and stage presense and all that. I feel like this is just the beginning. Time for bed now. I have tomorrow to prepare and most of Saturday day. Are you coming to the show? Oh, please oh please say yes!?
