Good mail day, plus Naughty inspiration

Ahhhh, gooood mail day.
[livejournal.com profile] sidewinder, the prints arrived just fine. Dollface is ecstatic over her Jackie Chan.

The Oriental Trading Co stuff came. I now have brainnnnnnns. Well, at least a mold for them.

A crochet puffy with chocolate came too.

And Bunny's socks are here! Moony's, too.
These are enormous: 30 inches long, pink and black striped.

Bubba cola Very vanilla is good, but Very Cherry is better.

The hat is done.



I've been kicking myself about an inspiration for naughtiness. Torquere press's next anth has a theme for "naughty."

I think two guys canoodling in the back of a theater during a live play is naughty.
The mezzanine seating for Florida's Coconut Grove Playhouse has 7 rows of 14 seats. My naughty boys are either in AA 1&2 (right at the rail, if balcony is empty) or GG1&2, if it isn't

Must ask [livejournal.com profile] jkb for interior details of the theatre.

Hi! Sorry I didn't see your IM earlier; I was on the phone on the other side of the room. The Coconut Grove theater does of course have a balcony, but I never went up into it. If it doesn't sell very well, though, then they put people on the ground level anyway. The seats on the ground level are almost all pretty good, and also they're pretty loose about letting people change seats once you're in -- they don't watch it very closely. Is there anything in particular you wanted to know?

Glad you liked "Nov. 3rd." :)

I need the usual.
Basic decor. Is it done in the roccocco style of the old movie palaces? Is it assertively modern, with bare concrete walls, uncomfortable benches along the sides?

Do the seats flip up? Are they comfortable? Do they squeak? (yes the last is an important thing.)

Color of the curtain. Does the apron extend far beyond the proscenium? Does the action take place essentially inside a box where we're peering in one side, or is it brought out of the wall?

Are the curtains creaky or do they sweep open quietly? Were they ever closed during the play, or do the lights just dim at the end of each scene?


Sorry for all the questions.
It's all ambient background for my next Torquere Press story.
