#12 First Stages of Bump In

So we met in the studio tonight at 5pm to get the flats up before tomorrows actual official bump in. We put in the furniture ie tables/plimphs/barrel and bar and masking taped where they will be ready for the lighting designer Tom to bump in his lights early tomorrow morning. He is wanting to aim spot lights on each table etc

We were all a bit tired so worked pretty efficiently trying to get it done so we could get a good nights rest for bump in and got out of the studio at 8pm even though we had booked it until 9pm. Belinda was pretty organized with the order of how bump in would run writen on a poster and also the order of flats and the floor plans stuck up for us to see. It was very much left to Belinda to decide where things would go, however we had a few changes to the floor plan, ie removing the little table from in front of one of the roisterers as it cluttered the space and moving the bar out a tad.

We are meeting tomorrow at 830am ready to paint over the masked edges between flats/move all the furniture etc in position/start some dress setting/cover the front of the bar with fabric... We are way ahead of schedual and have plenty of time for any hick ups

My parents are bringing grass skirts, postcards and cocktail glasses tomorrow night. If the grass skirts are not suitable we have Monday morning to quickly buy something to replace it or we can use fabrics to cover the plimphs... hopefully it wont be a tiring long day...
