Workshop: Day 3 Maestro Groups Debrief. Spread 2
In the Heights
Becco
Woke up before six. Went to Camille's at 7:30. BAck at the room I even took a little nap. I need sleep. Started teaching at 9:30 although I had forgotten that I was moving to the Party space so I had to quickly get all my stuf set up there in about ten minutes.
The morning was kind of tough. It is hard to get into any kind of a flow with this schedule. It is also hard to build relationships. I did a journal write and then my "What doe an editor do?" show. Then do to time I did the creating a mission statement and they worked on them right up until 11:30. We didn't even get to present them. Oh well. Tomorrow morning.
At lunch I got working on putting together the Keynote of all the first set of spreads and I wound up taking a quick nap and staying there all lunch. It was good to have the time as many did not have there pages pdfed or even correctly pdfed.
At one I had close to all the spreads and by 1:20 I had 12 of the 13. So we launched into the group critiques. To go through all 13 it took a full hour.
So it was 2:20. They actually made great commentary on the spread, Now only if they would actually translate those comments to their own workWe decided to have them start brainstorming their next spread which would not be due until 3:15 on Wednesday. The best bet would be if they wrote about the show, but as it turned out only a few were going to. We brought them back together at 3:15 to check how they were doing and then were done at four. They all seemed engaged and interested.
After we went back to the room, Pete and I walked down to Koronet for a slice. We hurried because we thought we were meeting at 5:15 but it turned out that the buses weren't really leaving until 5:45. We we did leave the bus ride was amazing in comparison to the old take the group on the subway days. We were down to the theater in less than an hour. We met Crystal down there, and were in the theatre by 6:30 since many Tuesday shows start at 7 now.
The show again was fabulous. It was the first night of the understudy, We even got a bonus press conference after the show was over.
After the show we got to have a brief press conference with several of the actors.
After the show Mark Murray, Pete and I ate at and Italian place called Becco which is owned by Lidia of Lidia's Italy..
The name Becco is derived from the Italian verb beccare, which means to peck, nibble or savor something in a discriminating way.
Lidia Bastianich & her son, Joseph, opened Becco in the theater district in 1993. It is best known for its acclaimed $17.95 pre fix lunch menu & $22.95 pre fix dinner menu that includes a large assortment of Italian antipasti or a classics Caesar salad together with unlimited tableside servings of our 3 daily pasta preparations. Becco also offers an extensive a la carte menu including chicken, fish, veal, & pork entrees & a wide selection of Italian wines, all priced at $25.00 per bottle.
