As I blogged<\/a>, last week I was sent on a 2-day trip to upstate New York on a little truck-packing project for The Acting Company.<\/p>\n

I was going to visit Adirondack Studios<\/a>, where the set for the new tour of Julius Caesar<\/i> had just been completed, to supervise the loading of the set into the company’s 53-foot trailer, in combination with the road boxes and part of the set for The Comedy of Errors<\/i> that was already in there.<\/p>\n

The staff at Adirondack was really friendly and helpful, and perhaps most notably, fed me incredibly well, from dinner at a local brew pub the night I arrived, to coffee on the way to my 7AM call, to a delicious lunch during our break from loading the truck. Our account manager and his wife were Acting Company alums from the ’70s and ’80s, so I got to hear lots of stories from the early days on the road, and share my tales of how much things have changed (or haven’t changed!) since then.<\/p>\n

Perhaps my favorite part of the trip was the train station in nearby Fort George, where I stepped down off the train at night, literally the only person getting off the train, onto a completely empty platform. It was so awesome. I also got to wait a while for the train on the way home. It was a little busier, because there’s a gift shop\/coffee shop in the old train station that got a little bit of traffic, but I got this cool shot down the tracks.

\nI won’t lie, it’s a cell phone photo, but click the image for a wallpaper-sized (1920×1080*) version. I generally hate wallpaper images that aren’t pixel-perfect, but I have to commend the iPhone 4 for failing in a direction that sort of makes it look like a painting rather than a blotch of pixels (especially the trees).<\/p>\n

*I generally think 1920×1080 is the devil’s resolution, but the aspect ratio worked much better for this photo.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
