More coolness

Forgot to mention that Saturday's marathon effort had another result.

David Whitney (the big boss of the Canberra Theatre) stuck his head into the Playhouse between the end of the show and the bump out and saw that the crew were eating some yummy paella. He was impressed that they weren't just smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee and when Dave Tongs told him that we'd been doing the food for bump out thing he was even more impressed. He (Mr Whitney) got talking to Bruce Carmichael (who is, if my understanding of the CTC heirarchy is correct, the operations manager of the Theatre) and the upshot of it all is that next time I'm cooking for the gang for before or after a bump out I'm getting paid for the time I spend cooking and completely reimbursed for the ingredients.

Of course, it might be a bit cheeky to charge 'em for 6 hours cooking time if I'm just whacking stuff in a slow cooker, but a couple extra hours for prep time and getting paid back for the ingredients that my whip-arounds don't always cover won't suck. Not to forget that it's just kinda cool to become the unofficial Head Chef for the Canberra Theatre. :)
