Ahhhhh....details....

Tomorrow is the debut of our Double Take Impersonators show. We’re wrapping up all the details, and there’s a lot of them. Like all the little thing you don’t generally think about….electrical cords, power strips, batteries, table numbers, to name a few. And then there’s the bigger things…..from which door will each entertainer make an entrance…. the order of the entertainers…what’s to be said in between each act…..and so on and so forth.


Then there’s the seating! The tables each seat 10...and we have groups in size anywhere form 1 to 10 people, and we want to make sure everyone gets to sit with their friends. It’s like putting together a jigsaw puzzle.

Then there’s the hair and make up….(neither of which I’m good at)…my hairdresser very generously volunteered to do my hair and make! Lord knows what it would look like if I had to do it myself!

Never underestimate the kindness and willingness of others to help. An old friend and singing partner of Deb, agreed to work the sound system. AND…he’s letting us use his spotlight! All we need is someone to work it…..so while we at the restaurant working out details last night…..we were talking with Nash, one of our servers (who is also helping us out with a few aspects of the show) Nash and his brother were putting up some shelving, we told him we had to find someone to work the spotlight….Nash poked his head through a door and said ,”Hey Randy! Whattya doing Wednesday night?”

“Nothing.”

“Perfect! Can you work the spotlight?”

“Sure, what do I do?”

Sometimes you just have to trust the process of life.
