B, L, and I all got up this morning and were at the theatre by 8am ish. After walking over ten miles yesterday, I was feeling lots of pain (still not over my back injury), so I was in rough shape. Weird hurts in my hips and back, slow walking.
We got to the theatre, which is on the top floor of one of the university buildings here in Olomouc. Two local guys (not sure if they were students or not) helped us out with setting up for the theatre. No lights were hung, there was no projector, etc. There were speakers that were biamped, but only had amp channels run to one of their drivers. It took us a while to get everything worked out, but we finally did it successfully.
The other three showed up at around 2 to get into mics and rehearse. We did a stumble through at around 3, and then took time to have a siesta and do notes. L and I both needed to rest.
The show went off very well! No major hiccups, and the audience (around 70 students, faculty, and guest artists) seemed to appreciate it. There were lots of questions from the audience afterwards, including a bunch for music.
Once the house cleared after the talkback, we struck our stuff and headed back to the hotel. Some of us may have been inclined to stay out, but with an early morning tomorrow, we all needed to get our rest. Tomorrow we drive 3 hours to Krakow and load-in/perform at a theatre about which we know almost nothing!
Not a lot of time in public today, so fewer photos.
A side note - the food in the past few days has to be some of the most consistently excellent food I've ever eaten. Small cafes, teeny sandwich shops, etc. Really excellent. Who knew!
