Awesome. Coldtownies getting in on Maestro action. I love it!

Katie's also a long-time friend of Will Storie, so she clearly has impeccable taste.

My name is Katie Sicking and I'm in the troupe No Chaser (debuted on monday) and also Unfurled (debut on sunday at coldtowne). I've been training/rehearsing for a while and now I'm interested in getting used to actually performing. I've seen alot of maestros, and it looks pretty darn fun.

Yay!

I love being able to have the cast list up even before Thursday. How neat would it be to actually have a list of performers up on the web (or the Web) for people to see days, even a week or longer, ahead of time. Aaaand I say this having not volunteered for this week's show yet myself.

I'm still not though. Gots me some plans. I'll go ahead and throw my hat in the ring for next week though.

Bob A. had a wonderful little application that was in use when I started playing Maestro, where you could say what days you were available for months in advance, and the show admin could go in and put together the cast list from that. It was SWEET.

The system eventually broke down in part because veterans wouldn't bother to use it, and would show up the night of the performance and bump newbies like myself who used the system. I think with a little more discipline and a few placeholder slots for ringer players, we could easily return to a system like that.

That sounds a lot like the sweet application you have set up for the Tuesday Night Jam, which I was thinking would work great for Maestro.

You are God? Take it from me, it's okay to think it, but people look at you funny when you say it. Especially if you're walking around with a sniper rifle.

I guess I'd still be considered "New Blood." I'm Bobby DiPasquale, I'm roommates with Dario, who most of you may know. I appreared in a Maestro show about a month ago and have come to some of the jams. I haven't been recently due to the play I was in going through it's run.

Now, that it's over you should hopefully see me around a lot more. Good to meet you, or re-meet you all.

Dang! You'll have to count me out of the box office duty, I don't know if I'll make it back into town on time. Shucks, sounds like it's gonna be a good one too.

I played Maestro with you!

Okay, Gang! Here's the cast for Saturday night's Maestro. I'm sorry that there wasn't room for all of you. Beth Burns and I are going to be directing so if you're angry that you are not on the list, it's Beth's fault. I fought for you as hard as I could. She just wouldn't budge.

(Actually I tried to be as fair as I could. I wanted to keep it evenly divided by men and women. If you played last week, you're sitting out this week. Sorry. Then I basically went by who signed up first. There still wasn't room for everybody that wanted to play but I did the best that I could.)
