This week I spent quite a lot of time calling and visiting around some venue trying to book a theater for our end of year showcase. This year I can feel it's going to be even bigger. So I am looking at a theater with a proper stage, green room, comfortable sitting with 200-300 people capacity. Man. I really should have done it earlier. Zenith theater in Chatswood is totally booked out till late dec. It's aroun $1540 for 5 hours. Theater by the sea in Manly fits around 300 people. They are $200 each hour and i will need 5 hours at least as well. They booked out totally. Independent theater in North Sydney. Still available and beautiful professional recital venue. But they are more than $2000 and I have to get their ushers and managers too plus ticket sales.....shit man how much is that going to cost me? No way. The interesting thing is that after to speaking about 10 mins with the event manager on the phone he asked for my name, I said "Susie Wang". He then said "Oh my god. You are not the Susie Wang I know are you?" I was thinking...yeah right. Who are you... then he suddenly said "Susie!! You stayed at my house twice in London!! and I stayed in your brother's room when I came to sydney remember!!" Oh my god. That's my friend Los. 2 years I haven't contacted him and He is English so I didn't know that after he married an OZ girl they moved back to Sydney!! And he got a job as the event coordinator at independent theater!! What a small world. I told him I can't afford his theater I will keep looking but it was awesome to chat with him for a long time on the phone. Small world. what a small world.
