Week Two

Start of week two has been interesting thus far. We had some humps in the road. I think things are better now. We are in Savannah for the weekend. It is beautiful here 74 degrees today. I have been taking a lot of pictures lately, I miss photography and probably should have minored in it like I wanted to. We had a fun night last night, I needed that after the week I had. It's rough being away from the family when things happen at home. But I have a good group here. Well I leave you with Chaz's model picture

Day 3?

So we are on the road again. Our first show was pretty shitty in a Cafetorium where the kids ate lunch right afterwards. Then the 2nd show we were supposed to have a double. They first show was cancelled. Awesome. But the venue sucked balls. Then we loaded out in the rain and had to sit 7 hours in the van to Alexandria. Went into DC I played tour guide. I finally got to go to the Spy Museum. We are in an actual theater tomorrow should be amazing. Well back to the superbowl and then line through. Shoot me.

A Haunting Visit From the Past

So tomorrow is the first day of tech. We had a very interesting load out of the rehearsal space. The trailer was not packed correctly, nor the set wrapped. Therefore made me very stressful. I hope things go better the next time we pack the trailer. I am getting such a pleasant visit from the past tomorrow I can't wait. Not looking forward to it at all. I was told today that apparently I have made the cast have high expectations of my skills. I don't know how I did that. I don't consider myself a pompous person, and it's ironic that this comment came from one of the most pompous people here. Whatever, not going to harp too much on it. All in a days work, well off to finish some sound cues.

New Tour New People, Same Fucking Show

The title says it all. We are less then a week from leaving. It's an interesting group dynamic. I'm missing home a lot and I know that it's just because I am so close right now. I know once I get on the road things will be fine. I think I should definitely write a lot more not only here but in my journal. It helped me a great deal last tour. The show is ready to roll, bring on tech. I have essentially had a single here at the HOJO's. My two roommates have "friends" in which they spend the night with. There's only one man in my life at this time and he is an awesome cuddler, and doesn't give me any lip. That's right the world is better because of Mr. Lion.

It's been a while...

So haven't wrote in quite a bit of time. It's been busy, actual touring. Getting up real early going to the venue doing the show and then on to the next place, which consists of getting dinner and then going to sleep. Except on the weekends. This weekend we are in Cleveland so we went to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yesterday. It was nice, I dunno if I would go back though. I know some other people who definitely would have liked it better than me. Then did some exploring in downtown Cleveland, which is kind of shitty. I mean there is a lot of old architecture which was nice to see, but everything was closed in the middle of the day on a Saturday no less. Touring has been interesting, we are past the honeymoon period, so things are starting to annoy people. There are definitive cliques developed. I really don't have a problem with anyone but there are a select group of people I would rather hang out with. Well that's all for now off to see what I'm going to do on this Sunday.

BUSY BUSY

So it's been about a week since I have written, and it's also the end of week two. I was sick a bit this week, feeling better now. That doesn't mean I wasn't busy though. We had a driving lesson, which was interesting. Someone should have refreshed our instructor before he tried to teach us. We started tech yesterday. Ray and I are on sound and spent a majority of the morning waiting around because half our equipment was not there.It was a very unprepared load in. But we got through it, finished sound cue to cue. They are filming a movie with Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro and 50 Cent literally a stones throw from the theater we are at in Bridgeport. Well onto tech day two. Man these early mornings are going to kill me

So...

It's been a while since I've wrote. It is Sunday, and once again at three days before we have off. Tomorrow will be exactly one week before we hit the road. I'm excited but it's also becoming crunch time. I'm a bit nervouse about running the show since I have to do both lights and sound, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. So the other night was very interesting, learning more and more about people. Which is nice, sometimes it's a bit intense. There are certain people I want to get to know more, and there is some that are just annoying. I hope I can justignore them enough, before it escalates into something more. The hard part is I'm not the only person annoyed with them. And some people don't have as much patience as me. It should be interesting.
