From my theatre days, I know the different kinds of feelings you can get before opening a show. Sometimes you know nothing is quite working and the show is going to flop. (And sometimes you’re wrong, which is nice.) Sometimes you’re oblivious to the flaws in the thing you’re working on, but you know something’s not quite right. And sometimes, you feel like everything is clicking. Sometimes you just know: this is going to be a good one.

I feel the same nervous/excited energy about IA Summit that I felt before a good show.

The work is done (or nearly so), we’ve planned as much as we can plan, and all we can do now is open the house, do our best, and adapt as necessary. I really can’t wait for Wednesday to come so that we can get this show on the road.
