LET'S GET STARTED
Hello everyone,
Just to remind you all, our current destination is Avery, Oklahoma (+ youtube). Today (Saturday) they will be on the road and arrive at their destination (abandoned farmland outside the town) in the late afternoon, at which point they will begin setting up the back lot (ie - their trailers, tents, amenities, etc.). Tomorrow (Sunday) they will set up the carnival lot (videos: 1, 2). This is mostly the job of the roughies/rousties, but they'll probably attempt to rope some able bodied folk into helping out. If your character is in charge of a game/stall, they may want to get that partly set up, as it's a double day the next day and they'll have to do the rest in the morning. Otherwise, this would be a good time for performers to practice or to duck into the town. Monday is Labor Day and, being a public holiday, they have a full/double day. What a way to start!
For the rest of the week they'll just do the later show, so they'll have some mornings to relax in, or to visit Avery, search for moonshiners, etc. before being back to full days on the weekend. The next Monday is their full day off, then another week, and packing up the carnival lot on Sunday, ready to then pack the back lot up and leave on Monday.
As we've said, we're more than happy for people to forward/back-date and placeholder threads given that you can't always be around at those times, so no worries there, :)
Oh, as for the show 'cycle' itself.. there will be one main combined animal and big top show starting at 6:30pm.. it /would/ be billed to go till 8pm ..but that's not going to happen with the current state of things So it finishes when it finishes. XD The Freak Show is essentially continuous - the crowd goes along the different acts in line.. people can come in at their leisure and stay till they double up on the act they came in at. So there's a bit of sitting (/being dragged out to do the ballyhoo out the front) while they're waiting for the crowd to come around again.
The side-shows.. with the exception of the fortune teller (and mentalist - Sascha would you prefer if Cas does one-on-one type things or a show? Both are fine!), the side-shows will proceed one after the other. So the escape artist, followed by the illusionist, followed by the cooch show. Obviously they'll kick all the patrons out between shows.
All right. If you have any questions, please ask them here.. if there's something somewhere we haven't responded to, let us know here as well. Otherwise.. LET'S GO!
