Tuesday morning the 13th, I met with the investor, JLM, who is not super fond of publicity and would prefer not to be talked about. But trust me, she is faboo.

We spent a long morning together, lots of coffee and eventually went for lunch.

From which I raced to another investor meeting, and another lunch. I was late to that meeting because I am unaccustomed to how long it takes to drive places in SF. I’m used to biking, which is a whole other beast. My best bike routes were useless when driving Carol-Anne’s truck. Regardless, I made it to the lunch, and my friend Tiffiny was very wonderful and had ordered food for us. Sadly I chose to meet at a thai restaurant, and I’m allergic to lemon-grass so much of what she ordered I couldn’t eat. LOL

We had a very nice afternoon despite my food issues. And Tiffiny invested $1,000 in Disembody, which was wonderful of her.

Then Kathryn, the wardrobe designer and seamstress, and I went to see our friend Veronica Klaus, who starred in one of Skye’s earlier projects, The Elk Hotel, which I love. Veronica was fabulous performing a very bluesy cabaret set. Kathryn and I discussed soem of the finer details of the usher and usherette uniforms.

Well, thanks to the incredible David Meckel, I got an appointment with an architectural model firm tomorrow. We’re going to talk budget and schedule. And we may yet have an architectural model for this show.

In other news, I just got back from Chicago where I met with Stel. He and I discussed the projection and audio system for the theater. I checked out the system he has installed in his house. We’re borrowing that projector. It is beautiful. Though we discovered that I had completely misunderstood him when he described its capacity to me earlier. So, a few weeks back the theater went from 16′ wide by 20′ deep to 16′ wide by 10′ deep (I mistakenly thought that was the maximum throw of the projector). However in meeting with Stel I discovered the throw is indeed fine at 20′, and so the theater magically grew back to 20′. I think this news may have given Carol, Keturah and Carson a heart attack.

As well, it looks like Stel may invest some money in the project, which is huge news.

I also met with Phil and Libby in Chicago. We went over the soundtrack and recording studio, which was assuring.

Last night I met with my sister and her partner. I meet with them again tomorrow evening to discuss their contributions to the show. I think Ali is going to make crew hoodies. I am so excited to be able to give something like that to all the amazing people who are making this art work.

Her partner Terry is a fabulous artist, working in wood and metal. I think he may make the concession price lists that are installed on the wall behind the counter folk in the lobby.

Finally, my friend Tiffiny took a few investor pamphlets to hand out to her clients. She is a high-end Chi Nei Tsang healer. She works with a lot of people who are supporters of the arts, and might be interested in this project.
