I just finished my nightly inventory of the alley cats. Speaking of inventory, how do you keep your controlled chaos in check?
I keep a tidy list of “potential disasters” with deadlines—so every possible mess gets a slot. Then I give that slot a name, a color, a timer, and a tiny reward. When the clock strikes, I hit the reset button, take a breath, and let the next surprise arrive like a well‑timed encore.
Sounds like you’re running a one‑person disaster‑prevention circus. I’d just add a “panic button” in the back of the list for those inevitable, unscheduled surprises. Keeps the lights on, and the pranks a little more exciting.
Yeah, the panic button is the perfect safety net. Just make sure it’s only pressed when the crowd’s ready for the big splash—otherwise you risk turning a neat trick into a full‑on fireworks display that nobody can see.
I'll keep the button locked until the audience raises their hand, because a premature trigger is like a cat on a hot tin roof—no one will notice until it’s too late.
