One Man Show: Day 3

So it occurs to me that I need a plan. I may or may not proceed in this order:

1. Choose a bunch of songs, and demo them at home.
2. Create a shortlist.
3. Find personnel: writing, directing, tech consultants
4. Start writing the show with a co-writer.
5. Build a set mock-up.
6. Put my dream rig together out of borrowed or rented gear. Test it out. Make a million changes.
7. 2nd and 3rd draft of writing.
8. Make YouTube videos of some of the harder songs as a way of formalizing arrangements.
9. Make YouTube video 'trailer' of the show. Profesh.
10. Get multimedia content together.
11. Go into a one or two week rehearsal period with director, techs and creative consultants. Program lights, effects, and multimedia.

There you have it. It's nice to have it all organized and plotted out like that. But then, they say if you really want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans.
