I'm on national TV!

This has been with out a doubt the coolest job ever and I really wasn’t expecting it. When Himmelstänzerin Kompany asked me what I thought about being part of an evangelical televised service I said “they would have to pay me a lot of money” That was incredibly prejudice of me. I am not a Christian and I didn’t know if I was going to feel comfortable in that atmosphere, but in the end it was not uncomfortable at all and very cool indeed. We arrived on Wednesday the 30th of May to rehearse. To hung the silks they had build a scaffold all to way to the top. I went up and rigged the silks my self, it was a 12 meter hanging point and a concrete floor so I had to make sure I felt safe, plus the hole thing was going to be shown on live TV, it would’t be good it I died in front of all of those people. The security person had the same concern, he didn’t know what to do with himself, but I new I was safe, although it is true that you never know.

It was very much like any other show, although it was not supposed to be a show but a service, all the same there was a rehearsal, people carefully chose costumes and practiced their lines and there was even a discussion about witch praying position was better for television, but the reason I liked it so much was the people, every one was incredibly kind and helpful from the director, to the organizers to the priest. I am very happy I got to be part of this.
