I made it to Atlanta. The art show / launch party went great.
I spent the 36 hours before the show cutting out wooden shapes that Jason then painted with various characters from the series. Then I had to mount them on to wooden panels using dowels to make the pieces 3D. The glue was still drying on some of the pieces as we started loading them in to the truck, but most everything made it there okay.
It was a great turn-out. Of the mass invites that Jason had done to the 500 or so people who have signed up to the Red Rocket Farm mailing list over the past few years, well over 100 people showed up over the course of the evening. A performing troupe called the "ThimbleRig Circus" did juggling, fire eating, and knife throwing in between the screenings of the first three segments of "Cradle Me, Sky".
Jason's art is being exhibited at The Alcove (where the show was held) for the next week. Once the pieces come back, I'll be photographing them to put up on the webstore. Oh yeah, apart from doing the lip-synching for the show, I'm also running Jason's web store now. I'm learning all about software called Volusion. The admin page for Red Rocket Farm has links to Volusion training videos, and live chat tech support... Overwhelmingly exciting.
I haven't found a place yet, and Jason and Allen are being very gracious letting me stay with them until I do. Jason suggested that it might be better to get a job first, so I could try to get a place relatively close. Otherwise, I'm just trying to find a place that's cheap.
