one hour how - completed. how it went?

as i said in the last post, i'm very happy with how it went. but the preparation that morning didn't go too great. for some reason Hassan's package wasn't working on the computer, which it needed to so we could upload it to the system. so i suggested that he bounced it from his original pro tools file again, which worked, but only when it was put on my usb, which was weird; he reckons there is something wrong with his one.
i'd originally planned to use this time to work on the final bit of the script.
Liam was still finishing off his package, so it wasn't until the last 20/30 minutes before the live show that he was able to get his package intro to me, to print out. i got a bit stressed out when re-doing the timings (as i now knew the length of Liam's package) as i knew how little time we had left, and i'm not entirely sure if all of my timings were correct.
there was also a problem printing the script, but luckily barry from another group printed it off for us, which i was very thankful for.

in terms of how the actual show went, i think it went well. there was only one bit that i had a bit of trouble with, and that was when i was interviewing gareth. i just froze up at one point, but luckily it wasn't for as long as i thought it was; just a second or something. this was due to me not having any more questions for gareth written down, which i don't think was entirely my fault; a few times i'd asked other group members to add questions for him but got nothing in return, which was completely understandable considering they were busy working on their own stuff.
the other members of the group could see that i was struggling, and got me to wrap it up; annoyingly about 3 or 4 minutes short of what was planned. i was really worried that i'd ruined the whole thing at this point, but was reassured by the others. and we decided, that to fill the gap, we'd put another song in that relates to Allan's package. for a while we discussed coming back to gareth at the end for another interview, but at the time didn't know if we would've been able to come up with enough questions for him, in that short space of time.
so we played another song at the end, that fitted in with Allan's package, and that brought us exactly to the 1 hour mark.

so yeah, overall i think it went really well; it's just that at the time, and a bit after, i was worried that i'd ruined it all during the interview with gareth. but yeah, i think it sounded okay and just went a lot slower in my head.
