The Get-Ins

This isn't the fist-bump, top-score, boss battle 'get in', this is us moving a vanful of heavy set and equipment into some rather unaccommodating schools. Today, both of them were horrible.

School one: park on the road, move your things up these stairs and a ramp into this classroom whist we wait for breakfast club to finish, then you can just put your stuff in and be ready to start in about half an hour? Yes, and whilst we're at it, I'll have Jennifer Lawrence appear for a cameo, shall I?

School two: Emily's reaction summed it up really. "Ah. I think I've been here before. Hm." No amusing anecdote about a previous show, no scary stories of mislaid props, just a slightly concerned "Hm." The concern was well founded. It made the morning school look like a walk in the metaphorical park. We dodged our set through at least one classroom, two hallways, four tight turns, and 12 steps. And we were in a rush.

Well, at least my microphone works these days.. (touch wood).
