Automated voice: Tuesday 2:34 PM. [Phone beeps] Roger: It’s Roger. I got the tape, the high tape. It doesn’t look that great. It’s real contrasty, and the whites are just kinds of burning out. But you’re certainly welcome to look at it and make the decision for yourself. That’s it, bye. [Phone beeps] Roger: This is Roger. You don’t have to call back on this, but Jillian just called and says that she thinks now that we can start working at two o’clock ‘til midnight straight on. I told her we probably wouldn’t want to work that late. But she told the only hitch would be if you needed technicians, which would cost $20.00 an hour. I said we don’t need any, at least not tomorrow night. So see you tomorrow, bye. [Phone beeps] Roger: This is Roger. Here’s the bad news. We cannot start until Sunday morning, so I need to set a rehearsal like for three o’clock that day. Hopefully you can pull it off in that period of time. The good news, there is none, so I don't know whether you’ve progressed with Lois Green or not. The slides came out beautifully. The rest of the corporate slides plus the new Essae and Essae Sansai slides of three objects, juggler objects, came out great. so I need to get those inserted. Anyway, get a hold of me tomorrow. I’m gonna be here 'cause I gotta wait for my paintings to be delivered. And also, I need you to help me pick up the frames up at school tomorrow. So give me a holler in the morning. Thanks, bye. [Phone beeps] Roger: This is Roger. Rehearsal Wednesday, this coming Wednesday, at 7:30 at my house, October 14th. That’s the only time it seems that Tony could do it. Wednesday 7:30. Call if that’s a problem. Otherwise, I’ll assume it’s okay. Bye bye. Automated voice: Saturday 10:01 AM. [Phone beeps] Roger: It’s Roger. Can we meet on Wednesday the 11th at 11 at my house? If I don’t hear from you, I’ll assume that’s okay. Eleven on the 11th at my house. Bye bye. [Phone beeps] Roger: It’s Roger. You need to call a guy named Bud Shannon in Boulder about the technical requirements for the Colorado Dance Festival Performance. He says he’d like to speak to you today. If not, call him this weekend. His last name is Shannon. I think his first name is Bud; it was real hard to understand, actually. So give him a buzz. Thanks. Automated voice: Monday 4:00 PM. [Phone beeps] Roger: It’s Roger. I need my excerpt tape back from that halls panel that I’m on. The one has no sound. I think what I’m gonna do is just bring my VCR up there and play it back on that. That would solve everything. Thanks. [Phone beeps] Roger: This is Roger. I’m up in Seattle. Just wanting to know whether you would be interested in doing Campfire Diary at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. in February. Problem is the stage only has a 24-foot proscenium. Other than that, it’s a good stage. Plenty of curtains and all this kind of stuff. Seats 271 to 300. I’ve got a floor plan of the auditorium. Otherwise, I’ll be back October – well, I think they’re kind of looking for an answer one way or another. If you don’t get me, you can leave a message with a fax number or whatever kinds of message you wanna leave. Thanks. Bye bye. [Phone beeps] Roger: This is Roger. Yeah, we’re going on TWA on the 22nd through Saint Louis. Arrives at 4:18 at National Airport and scheduled to return on the 25th at 12:55 through Saint Louis getting back here at 4:18. I haven’t gotten the tickets yet. A couple of other things I need to talk to you about, so give me a call at some point. Bye. [End of Audio]
