Sherlock's Flat

The New Class to-do list

With just under two months to get ready for the big night, we have to get organized and start working on the following:
Promotions- t-shirts, button design, poster design, bookmarks or stickers, ticket design, 4 show pass
Publicity and fundraising- article for the Umbrella, press release for news papers, in school events like duct tape event, bake sale?, coffee house date and details,  raffle prizes, raffle tickets, photo shoot (Tuesday)
Costumes- sketches for each character, measurements, colour palette, build list, gather useful costumes and try on, get costumes ready for photo shoot
Set- Scale drawings to Mr. Weinert, Build rolling flats, Exchange set pieces for those in the shed, discard old ones, chose colours, paint (prime and prepare), Clean area around stage, prop cupboard and stairwell, sew curtains, recover furniture
Props- decide what to find and what to make, read the script carefully and make a prop list- divide up the duties

It seems like a lot, but we will chip away at these details and eventually, get it all done.

Moriarty's Chalkboard

Naples, Florida Set

Moriarty

'His career has been an extraordinary one. He is a man of good birth and excellent education, endowed by nature with a phenomenal mathematical faculty...But the man had hereditary tendencies of the most diabolical kind. A criminal strain ran in his blood, which instead of being modified, was increased and rendered infinitely more dangerous by his extraordinary mental powers.'

Sherlock Holmes Quote

-The Final Problem

The new roomate

“Looking for lodgings,” I answered. “Trying to solve the problem as to whether it is possible to get comfortable rooms at a reasonable price.”

“That’s a strange thing,” remarked my companion; “you are the second man to-day that has used that expression to me.”

“And who was the first?” I asked.

“A fellow who is working at the chemical laboratory up at the hospital. He was bemoaning himself this morning because he could not get someone to go halves with him in some nice rooms which he had found, and which were too much for his purse.”

“By Jove!” I cried; “if he really wants someone to share the rooms and the expense, I am the very man for him. I should prefer having a partner to being alone.”

Young Stamford looked rather strangely at me over his wineglass. “You don’t know Sherlock Holmes yet,” he said; “perhaps you would not care for him as a constant companion.”

“Why, what is there against him?”

“Oh, I didn’t say there was anything against him. He is a little queer in his ideas—an enthusiast in some branches of science. As far as I know he is a decent fellow enough.”

“A medical student, I suppose?” said I.

“No—I have no idea what he intends to go in for. I believe he is well up in anatomy, and he is a first- class chemist; but, as far as I know, he has never taken out any systematic medical classes. His studies are very desultory and eccentric, but he has amassed a lot of out-of-the-way knowledge which would astonish his professors.”

“Did you never ask him what he was going in for?” I asked.

“No; he is not a man that it is easy to draw out, though he can be communicative enough when the fancy seizes him.”

“I should like to meet him,” I said. “If I am to lodge with anyone, I should prefer a man of studious and quiet habits. I am not strong enough yet to stand much noise or excitement. I had enough of both in Afghanistan to last me for the remainder of my natural existence. How could I meet this friend of yours?”

“He is sure to be at the laboratory,” returned my companion. “He either avoids the place for weeks, or else he works there from morning till night. If you like, we will drive round together after luncheon.”

London Underground Began in 1863

A red and black locomotive dating from 1898 and specially restored for the occasion ran between Kensington Olympia station in west London and Moorgate station in the financial district.

It was pulling the oldest operational Tube carriage, which was built in 1892, a set of four carriages from 1898, and a vintage electric locomotive.

London mayor Boris Johnson, who was among the passengers, said: "It was just extraordinary.

"We had steam coming in through the windows, huge thick clouds of white steam going past and then bits of soot coming through from the engine."

The last regular steam train service on the London Underground network -- more than half of which is actually overground -- ran in 1961.

The London Underground opened on January 10, 1863 and a century and a half later the Tube runs for 250 miles (402 kilometres), linking 270 stations and carries passengers on 1.1 billion journeys per year.
