159. That us what she said. I Tivoed it...

Fri Nov 9, 2012, 01:42 AM

Nov 2012

...she specifically said, "when we did this in rehearsals, I lost sound right about here (she referred to a specific location in the hall) and that is what is starting to happen now..." Then she continued walking and talking as she made her way into the numbers room.

I think she was more concerned, and swept up in the possibility that there could be technical difficulties. It made her nervous. I think she accidentally revealed that they had rehearsed this whole walk back through the hallways and into the number cruncher room.

So yes, I think it is very bizarre that they were acting bewildered about so much unanticipated uncertainty and confusion--when they had planned and REHEARSED for the confusion by doing a dry run earlier in the day!!

Yeah. That's screwy!
