Friday night’s live simulcast at AT&T Park was an experience, to say the least.  Most remarkable perhaps was the weather.  I don’t think I’ve ever been in SF at night when it’s been that warm.  We were fanning ourselves with the paper programs at 10:00pm!  Great crowd, the opera estimates 23, 000, and such a fun diverse group of people.  Let me tell you about being on the Jumbotron.  The three of us (John Evans, Ray White and myself) winded our way up to the press booth where Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper sit during Giants games.  We took turns reading from the script provided by the Opera and tried to not let the reverb 2-second delay mess with our consciousness.  Let me tell you, that is tough.  Plus we were sitting in front of very hot lights.  I guess I can never be a movie star if I can’t stand the heat!   The ironic part of being on the Jumbotron is that we never saw ourselves on it because we were sitting in front of the screen.  Someone sent me a photo of it from her phone.   I’m afraid I looked, well, jumbo.
