Looks like August is going to be a rather productive month, with at least 2 shorts planned. It is during August that I can book out almost as much gear as I need for two weeks straight, so that will come in very handy. There's nothing worse than lugging huge amounts of kit back and forwards over a short course of a few days, especially considering the size of some things - the lighting kits, the dolly, and the newest addition to our equipment the mighty gib arm.
I've had to majorly change around my main script, but now it's a lot simpler and a better story as well. I'm still slightly stuck in terms of actors but I'll try and remedy this situation, I'm still in the process of writing the thing. As I get the gear out next week it'll all have to be sorted before then. I'm aiming for around 10 minutes worth for this short.
The second short is going to be another collaboration between Mike Steve and myself, except this time we're giving ourselves a lot more than a single afternoon to do the shooting, and are doing more planning this time too. Last time didn't go too badly but we lost our roughly written out script right before we starting shooting, which only appeared after we had finished everything @_@
I'll keep things posted of the progress for this month.

Ah losing your script, we did that during the 48 hours, so much paper, none of the stuff we could find being useful when we needed it.
Lugging around equipment can be a nightmare also. Good luck with your thing, I'm starting shooting in a couple weeks, scheduling all the actors has turned into something of a nightmare. That'll teach me to write thirteen damn parts into the script.
