 if there were Cadbury Cream Eggs waiting for you at each party, you might find the motivation to make it to all 5 in a single day.
I've heard you have a passion for them.
I cut myself the other day and bled pizza sauce and cake icing.
I once did two shows in one day and had a tough time with the reset. I had to rethink my show. Can't imagine 6 in one day!
One of the keys to doing lots of shows back to back is being able to set up / reset quickly. You need to engineer your act to accomplish this.
If it's a small home party where I don't need audio support, I can set up in literally 2 minutes. If I need to hook up my portable PA, add another 60-90 seconds.
Take down/reset is a bit longer, but always under 5 minutes and usually around 3.
That's something I've planned, worked on, and gotten very good at implementing.
I haven't kept up with the max number of shows on any given day that I've done but I suspect it's 5 or so. Like some of the previous posts on this topic, I have to change shirts too! I'm a big guy and just typing this makes me start sweating!
The post from jackturk just above this post says "One of the keys to doing lots of shows back to back is being able to set up / reset quickly. You need to engineer your act to accomplish this." That is SO, SO true! It took me a LONG time to decide that I wanted and NEEDED to downsize my props/show. It's been great to be in and set up so much faster these days than I could do it years ago.
Steve Daly is to thank for getting me to really get serious about this topic. His Lecture was VERY helpful on that topic and it saved me the night I had 3 parties at the same church, in different rooms AND they "forgot" to leave setup/tear downtime between the shows. The situation when I arrived was NOT what it was supposed to have been. Without Steve's approach, I would still be there, months later, packing and unpacking.
Plus --- my wife kept after me saying, "Steve's kid show really packs and unpacks fast! Why doesn't yours??? Ouch!!!!
I'm down to 1 box, 1 sound system (if I take it in from the car) 1 Axtell board (won't fit in the other box) and my parrot. Life is good!
So, that's two trips to the car. Do you also take a table or two? I find that adds another trip.

For a quarter century Charles Barry has told Santa Clara's stories in photographs. Here are a few.
See the people who sustain Santa Clara and are inspired by it: an engineering student hauling an underwater robot to the surface of Lake Tahoe, a dancer guiding her class in the exuberance of motion. See the Mission Gardens in the magic hours when the light is golden.
These are certainly moments that Chuck Barry has captured with his camera in the past 25 years. His favorite shoots are with students in real situations, catching the personal interaction; there might be dignity or whimsy in the moment.
He’s won national and regional awards for his work, which has taken him across the country and farther afield, to places where alumni and faculty and students work and play. He’s brought his mandolin-playing skills to the community Fiesta that is the annual Virgen de Guadalupe celebration on campus. If he could invite a handful of folks to join him for dinner, the guests would include his parents, Mark Twain, and Frank Zappa.
And he’d be the first to say that it’s the ideas and aspirations of this place that keep it—and photographing it—fascinating and new. Steven Boyd Saum

Enjoyed the commentary, Chuck. The way that you work is so much deeper than merely your technical skill (which you also have - in spades).Soluble in ethanol, acetone, ethyl ether, and ether. Insoluble in water.
1H-Indene is used in the synthesis of new C60 derivative, indene-C60 bisadduct1. It was used in preparing polyindene by the controlled cationic polymerization initiated with cumyl methyl ether/TiCl4 in CH2Cl2. It is also used in the synthesis of istatins and in the production of indene/cumarone thermoplastic resins.

With 20 million mobile phones in Australia today, our story earlier this week about the alleged adverse effects of mobile phones drew a huge response.
We revealed three of four phones we tested for radiation emissions failed our own safety standards.
Even before our story aired, the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association posted this statement on its website.
"The tests referred to by 'Today Tonight' did not use the standard testing procedure, which is part of the Australian safety standard," it read.
Sydney University's Professor Bruce Armstrong has spent 10 years researching the links between mobile phones and tumours.
"I think people might be shocked to hear the evidence seems to be coming more strongly in support of harmful effects," he said.
Director of EMC Technology, Chris Zombolas, has a company that measures the safety of electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones.
"The current regulation only requires the mobile phone be tested in the body worn position, but you're allowed to have separation of up to 2.5cm or one inch," he said.
He measured the radiation emissions from four mobile phones for Today Tonight.
The idea was to find out whether the phones passed our safety standards when worn in a trouser or shirt pocket while using a bluetooth device or hands free kit.
"I think that is a short coming in the current standards and regulations that the phones are not required to pass when in direct contact with the body," he said.
"I think the consumer should be aware of that."
In the meantime the regulators say consumers should follow any manufacturers' recommendations about spacing between the body and phone.
The safety of mobile phones?What causes that to happen? Genuinely curious. It seems like a design flaw that should not really be possible.

Edit: hmmm....

"It was really wide, a lot of run-off. It looked maybe a bit spectacular but from inside the car it was not so big."

The team blamed the accident on a part of the suspension that failed when the Swiss driver applied the brakes at the end of the long main straight in the first practice session.

The upright, which connects to the wheel, broke on the right side of the car's front. The front left upright then buckled an instant later.

"We have to investigate. It could be that something went wrong from the material side, something went wrong from the machining," team principal Franz Tost said.

"We will bring the broken parts home and then we will analyse what exactly was the reason for this incident," Tost told Reuters

Free two-day shipping could actually cost you more in the end with a $119 Prime membership if you don’t make regular purchases.
Granted, Prime comes with perks like Prime Video and a large Amazon Music selection. Tap or click here to learn about 9 Prime perks you may not be using. But does that really justify the Prime price tag? What are your options if you find it too expensive?
We’re here to tell you there are ways to spend a lot less on a Prime membership. Did you know there are different payment methods? You can reduce the cost significantly if you know where to look. Start with changing up your payment plan.
You know you can pay for one year of Prime all at once, but what you might not know is you can also pay for Prime by the month. Tap or click here for ways to save money while shopping on Amazon.
Yes, Amazon Prime monthly memberships exist. You can sign up for a month at a time, only paying for Prime when you need it, rather than paying a lot upfront for something you’ll rarely use.
If you like to buy in bulk, and therefore only shop a few times per year, this could be the perfect payment plan for you. Let yourself accumulate a few large-quantity orders, then sign up for one month of Prime
