first day... come and gone

A success. Whew. Mild weather made it less painful. A product placement deal with a different Starbucks allowed us to open the Starbucks on the corner of our set just for us! My Departments team is strong; we actually find time for a joke and a laugh throughout the day. The 16 hour day that was day one. Now I'm knee deep in production 'till the end of the month. The 20 Picture Cars and 150 Extras felt easy day one. As it should, since we managed 500 extras and another 20 Picture Cars on Michigan Avenue yesterday and today. My Department performed our responsibilities with grace and style, seemingly unnoticed, thanks to our diligent preparations. +*+Poof+*+ there's a warming tent. +*+Poof+*+ there's a Porta Pottie. +*+Poof+*+ there's 4 flagship super-corporation retail stores on Michigan Ave. whose windows are redecorated from their current SALE windows to their Christmas windows. +*+Poof+*+ Bus Shelter posters have been changed to Christmas themed, clearances approved, colorful posters. +*+Poof+*+*+*+Poof+*+*+*+Poof+*+ I'm eating my vitamins, trying to steer the ship rather than ride the wave and not forgetting to stop and enjoy the view.
