June 22

Just past the longest day of the year. Plans continue onward for trip to Czech. Starting to get concerned about all the details that I haven't figured out. I was down with a cold for about a week and I couldn't get much done during that time. I am hoping that I have had my annual cold so I won't have to worry about coming down with one during the performance festival.

I still have to communicate with the rest of the team and let them know how to find this Blog, but so far I am enjoying this virtual anonymity. It is this quiet lonely space that only I inhabit. It is like dressing in front of a window without curtains; one has a similar exhibitionist sense while sitting at the keyboard entering a new blog post: maybe somebody is watching.

Half of our Vancouver team leaves on August 1 to arrive on the 2nd and the other half arrives on the 4th. As far as we can tell, we are sleeping in a dorm like environment and there was all sorts of talk about how to create privacy: curtains, tents, hoardings....

Mostly I am concerned about quiet spaces. Places where I can think about things. I find I get quite cranky when I am continually with people - I think this is a result of living in an almost empty country.
