Tuesday at Rehearsal
Private location, Hyattsville, MD

Familiar Faces
I attended rehearsal today. It was both well organized and well attended. When I got there, Donnell, DP, Mike, Adia, Dwayne, Doc, BJ, Jammin' Jeff, Smoke, Donnell's son Donte (spelling?) and Donnell's daughter Destiny were there. The rehearsal space had changed quite a bit - there was new carpet, and new paint. Actually, the most dramatic change to me was the absence of the noise from the one exit door. Nephew and Jauhar arrived after me. They were engaged in practicing. Destiny was a bit of a distraction. After finishing practicing, Donnell discussed strategies for dealing with performance opportunities. They also passed out the weekly pay. I also talked a little with Dwayne, Doc and Donnell as the rehearsal broke up.
