1. Wake up relatively early. ie Nine O'Clock.
2. Remember to pack over-priced designer shirt and crusty old second-hand pants to wear at post-show drinks.
3. Head down to the West End and pray to God that there'll be a place down there that does a decent soy latte. Eat a really big breakfast.
4. Get a haircut in Southbank.
5. Get into Rehearsal studio early to warm-up for class and end up chatting for the whole time until class begins. Gently remind the dancers that did the media call that they've been at work for three hours already.
6. Spend too much time chatting to people strapping their feet, holding up the tech-run. Have a light snack.
7. Do a really shit rehearsal. "Bad rehearsal, good performance" is what they say.
8. Eat a really big and very late lunch. Have a nap.
9. Pre-show warm-up class begins with lots of chatting and daggy dancing and laughing.
10. Have a light snack.
11. Berocca.
12. Prep cossies, water bottles, and all of my sweat towels.
13. At beginners' call, put on cossie and apply paint liberally to body parts. Chat alot, laugh alot and do some daggy dancing.
14. Circle?
15. Stand behind wall and complain that the water is too cold.

And then IT'S SHOW TIME!

UPDATE: What really happened!
1. Set alarm for 8:30 to take into consideration the Snooze Button factor. Constantly hit snooze button and get up at 9:30.
2. Notice that new designer shirt has stains on it already and I haven't even worn it yet. Curse loudly. Forget to pack black socks.
3. Couldn't be bothered going all the way to West End so I just caught the train to South Bank. Found a decent soy latte HOORAY! it was from a cute little cafe called Garage Espresso (???) and, though slightly bitter for my tastes, the soy is smooth and not overly steamed. Found myself starting to like Brisbane. Eat a fanstastically large breakfast.
4. The one hairdresser on Little Stanley Street looks a little too trendy and, besides, having a good hair day so opt out of a hair cut.
5. Made it just in time for warm-up class. Gently reminded media call dancers that they've already been here for three extra hours. (In the end, the papers didn't use any of the pictures of the girls. hehe.)
6. Went straight into notes, didn't waste too much time.
7. Did a really bad rehearsal. Legs are feeling tired and heavy.
8. Subway. Internet. No time for nap.
9. Warm-up class was surprisingly focussed. No energy left to muck around.
10. QPAC leaves a very large basket of goodies for the dancers. I eat a banana, peeling it all the way to the bottom. The dancers from Queensland are offended by this.
11. BEROCCA!!!
12. Prep cossies, water bottles, and all of my sweat towels.
13. At beginners' call, put on cossie and apply paint liberally to body parts. Chat alot, laugh alot. No energy for daggy dancing.
14. Circle!
15. The water behind the wall isn't too cold. Hooray!
