Last weekend I worked my first round of shows. I was first trained as a host, wherein you dress in costume with a persona and welcome guests. In my case, I put on a wizard hat and robe and became Dumbledore from Brooklyn. The next night I wore a white wig and was a Jewish grandmother. Which I pretty much am already, so it wasn't much of a stretch. I also learned how to "ballet park". Not valet park, ballet park. You put on a tutu and a feather boa and wield a lightsaber in the parking lot. When a car shows up I yell at them or sing at them or army crawl towards them to show them their spot. It rocks so hard. I love my job.
This week I worked with Dick, my boss, to figure out projects this summer. One of the first things I am sent to do is this weekend at the Miracle Field in Oconomowoc, WI. It's a baseball league for special needs kids; I worked with them before back when I was with ISU swimming. This time, there is a mascot whiffle ball game, and I am the mascot for Comedy Sportz. Which is a referee with a GIANT head. I mean this thing weighs about 40 pounds. So I may very well fall down while running the bases and just start flailing on the field. But if it will make a kid laugh, then it's worth it :)
Wish me luck! Over and out,
-D
P.S.: I get free soda at work. Feeding my Diet Coke addiction on a weekly basis. It's like crack.
