Farewell. Fall.
A busy week, to say the least. I'll briefly summarize the highlights.
Although only 90% in content - our shows this week on the Triumph went well. The untimely demise of the theater's main video projector accounts for the lost 10%. This, of course, coincided with editors, photographers, marketing reps, and writers from a cruise industry magazine watching the show for an upcoming issue featuring the Triumph. Luckily most of the lighting problems had been fixed and they seemed to enjoy our production.
Wednesday and Thursday were spend with Louise, who said goodbye early this morning after spending a very creative six weeks with us. As a final farewell, we went to our new favorite Italian Restaurant in Coral Gables (Pepe's)... And we ate... And we ate.. And we ate. The last few hours of conversation before bed were limited to a vocabulary of heavy sighs and moans - etching memories soon to known as the good-ol-days.
Ticket sales for the next few weeks reflect the summers passing. With two months before the "snowbirds" come down from the North, I've been spending double-time networking and promoting our show. The hotel itself was only at 35% occupancy last weekend, meaning we aren't alone. Even Pepe's was empty last night. If nothing else, at least Miami's tourist fluctuation is predictable. September and October weren't our best months last year either. Or the year before. On the other hand, I've found that pre-sales don't always matter. Most people come at the last minute, and since our theater is so small it always seems full regardless.
Thanks to these 2 great crowds on the Carnival Triumph this week!
