N'orEaster Slows D'Bate S'cty

Oliver's alarm went off at 4:30am, and the coffee was alreaady brewing (automatic timer) when Mike Riggs, our lighting designer, texted those terrible words "Flt Cancel'd". By checking the JetBlue website, I could see it was true.
Mike got on the phone with JetBlue and got the first flight that he could for the group. Oliver is actually flying out on a separate flight already (by noon we should know if he will make it out without delay), and the rest of the team - Mike Riggs, Amy Ehrenberg, Hannah, and Paul - are now going to make it to Austin by 12am Wednesday morning.

Cutting a full 2 days off of the tech schedule is going to make this week a lot harder, but still doable for TDS. With a little luck, Oliver will still be arriving in Austin by 5pm tonight, and can prep as much as possible. If necessary and if the rest of the team cannot make it, he will just have to Design the lights, Stage Manage, and perform the show all at the same time by himself.
