It's almost festival time!

We saw the three legged dog again today at the park! He is so precious. Makes me miss Phoebe at home, and she doesn't even like me that much. Since I last blogged, we've been busy with work- the festival starts next week!

Sunday, we went to the West End Live show in Leicester Square with Kyla, Kayla, and Ayumi. Essentially, it was a huge outdoor festival with a mainstage featuring numbers from the West End musicals that are currently playing. We missed all of the good acts since they were spread out over Saturday and Sunday, but it was still fun. We then headed to Nando's for lunch, it a Portuguese restaurant that specializes in chicken, and then went to Covent Garden to the shops and market there. After that we did Little Venice, which is basically just canals in a pretty neighborhood, but it was a beautiful day and was fun to just wander around there.

Monday and today we worked from 9-6 with just a short break for lunch. Things are really busy with the festival coming up- we are trying to coordinate 25 performance days, each with multiple artists/groups, and the task isn't easy. The fact that no one can understand our accents over the phone doesn't help the situation either! We are getting close to being done though, and should have everything wrapped up by Thursday. Today, I spent all day on photoshop trying to finish up the last set of posters to get them to the printer. Who knew that my photoshop experience from Mary Hensler's studio art class at SHS would come in handy one day? My eyes are still a little fuzzy from staring at a computer for so many consecutive hours. We get our last day off for the summer on Friday, and we are meeting Mark and Lawry at Kew Gardens for a picnic. It normally costs about 12 quid to get in, but they have guest passes for us! That is all for now, I am off to go make my evening cup of tea...how British of me, right?!
