What do you do in between shows? Not in between runs of a show, but separate shows. What keeps you busy, not working on a show, and waiting for the next one to get fired up?
Show reports, actor notes, sleep, cooking ... yup, it's an glamorous life.What do you do in between shows? Not in between runs of a show, but separate shows. What keeps you busy, not working on a show, and waiting for the next one to get fired up?
Sleep? Red Bull is the poor man's sleep.
It could be argued that Red Bull is the rich man's sleep.
Assuming a can of RB is ~$2.25-$2.50, that you have 1 every 2 days(on avg 182.5 cans per year) you are spending, $410.65-$456.25 per year on Red Bull alone.
If you have one every day (on avg 365 cans per year) you are spending from $821.25-$912.50 per year on Red Bull
If you have 2 cans per day (on avg 730 cans per year) you are spending $1642.50-$1825.00 per year on Red Bull.
Now, lets assume you know you are a Red Bull addict and buy in bulk, at $37.00 for a 24 pack you are spending:
1 can every 2 days: 8 Cases per year is $296.00;
1 can per day: 16 cases per year $592.00;
2 cans per day: 31 cases per year $1147.00.
That is a lot of money, though significantly less if bought in bulk.
Assuming you drink 1 can a day and you don't buy in bulk, that $821.25-$912.50 could buy (we will assume the average of the 2 numbers supplied for this series of equations, that number being $866.875):
If you have an additional $60.00 to spend that money could by my entire current list of tools I am comparing for purchase (totaling at $869.0568 before tax).
This list includes all of following:
Ideal: 5" long safe-T-Grip fuse puller, 1/4-3/4" cable stripper.
Knipex: Mini-Bolt Cutter, Wire rope cutter, cable shears, Diag cutter, insulated NE Linesman Pliers, Insulated HL combo pliers, HL NE Linesmans pliers.
Wiha: insulated 6 piece screw driver set, 10 piece insulated screwdriver, 6 piece cushion grip screwdriver, insulated pro turn 6 piece set.
Wera: Kraftform Plus 9326 Chisel driver with pound-thru blade screwdriver set 6 piece, kraftform comfort grip ergonomic insulated screwdrivers 6 piece.
You could also buy the majority of the books on my "to buy" list of books (30 total at the moment), total cost $1163.75. If you take off the three most expensive books at $100.70, $100.00, and $93.26, you could easily add 27 great theatre books to your collection.
Personally, I'd rather have the books and tools and brew my own coffee and tea.
My school puts on thirteen full-scale productions a year, which, as Student Technical Director, I am all directly involved in. There is no time between shows. In fact, there is often no time when there aren't two shows running simultaneously. Sleep? Red Bull is the poor man's sleep.
