• Edit…Edit…Edit… May 28, 2009
  Today was long.  LAC went well, everyone seemed to like it.  I was very surprised at the turn out.  I counted 50 people just as it started, this increased quite considerably during the performance.  Becca counted approx 150 at one point, with more arriving.  The “assistants” were great.  Thanks to Isabel for stepping in, XXX.  [...] […]

  Finished performance audio and uploaded it to LAC-live website. Finished painting black board, still need to create “Failure” sign. Started to look for some lab coats (I thought I had some but I must of thrown them away). Easy to find though. So all that remains is pulling the probs and tech [...] […]

  On Friday I worked on finalising the script. I put some more posters about and printed more for Wednesday and Thursday. A bit of publicity saturation needed I think. Might get a few bods about to help. I enlisted the help of Siobhan to take on the role of Higgs in the [...] […]

  More or less finished the physical build on Thursday last week. I found some perspex for the window and used MDF to dress the LAC. I painted the thing with black emulsion after some “Garth” movements. It is looking good, it’s quite big. I intend to work on the final audio [...] […]

  Well, started today with LAC, no problems encountered, and I fininshed the accelerators and collision chamber.  All I need to do now it dress the piece, and start to think about storage, as it is quite big. I’ve build from 12mm chipboard with pine batons to support.  Maybe thinking about pretending the collision happens.  I [...] […]
• 5 days…marks, get set, BOOM!!! May 19, 2009
  Tomorrow looms.  Well here we go, I now have exactly 5 build days left until LAC goes live.  I can finally start building it tomorrow, as it now fits into CONTEXT with the time I had to construct it in Lithuania.  I’m feeling pretty nervous, as I have do not have much time for errors…ick!  [...] […]

• …and moving on. April 29, 2009
  Well most of the people who know me will know that I did not go to Lithuania, shame. After speaking with some of the guys who went, they said it was great. Anyway it is time to move on. I have found the beginning of this term particulary difficult to get back [...] […]
• ***Problematics*** April 14, 2009
  I’m a bit worried about Becca as she has only just started to make ground after this horrible flu thing, and she seems quite low at the moment. She is putting on a brave face, and is saying that she can cope with me going away for 11 days, but I can see she [...] […]
• Render-roo April 14, 2009
  Pyros can be delived by TNT, I just have to purchase them in UK and 48hr them over to the venue. Doneta has confirmed that the script I sent her has been amended into undertandable Lituanian, and is emailing me it back hopefully today. The animations and audio are nearly there and I [...] […]
