BACK TOURING AND LOVING IT!

The Tupperware Party is treating me great. Loving every minute of it and have time to hit the gym a couple days a week which is HUGE with touring. Once I can figure out why blogger won't let me post photos I will start showing you more life on the road.

So far we have:
Traveled to towns on days off I would never think to be anywhere near
Went bowling
Carved halloween pumpkins in a bar - does anyone else think knives and alcohol is a bad idea?

Next week is a layoff and then a quick four week/four city push to finish out 2008.

Reflecting back

Jumped around my blog tonight and re-read some old posts and re-lived some old memories. The last show was such hard work and great stress but in the end (and not just because of the way it ended) I can say I loved it better.

I looked back and saw that this show lacked that wide-eyed excitement of each city. Suppose that comes with experience... one no longer appreciates as much... but I think I just saw more last time - and lived more. And I think, in the end, people actually bitched less on ASU - not sure how that is possible but it seems to be true.

Still can't get blogger to let me post photos - oh please someone explain to me why.

In the mean time I found, on Youtube, the commercial Clooney shot in Atlanta the night before we opened at the Fox in Atlanta on ASU.

Enjoy

Stage One and Two Merge

Anger and Denial are mixing nicely today.

...but not for long

The Tour will end Feb 17th in Norfolk.

6 months - 10 cities - 6 weeks of layoff

2008 - Back on the Road

So Toronto and Detroit have so far dominated 2008. Toronto was a whirlwind but I did manage a small walkabout around the city. It's such a great place. I enjoyed it - just wish it had been longer

Detroit has forced us all to be creative with our limited free time but of course we managed a bowling night. Greg and Susan also gave me a special night off. Greg's mom and I went to a Red Wing game. They lost - of course - but much to Jason's shagrin I now am decked out in a Red Wing Jersey and ball cap.

I will try to upload some photos tonight but right now blogger isn't letting me

Even a dollar

So Broadway Cares is getting hit really hard this season thanks to the strike. In an effort try and make back some of the over $300,000 they are losing a night with the strike (it's been going now for 18 days - you do the math) they have set up this new online team raiser area. This allows folks on the shows as well as fans of the shows to support BCEFA from their computers.

The link to the Team fundraising information is here

I'm of course on the Whistle tour but pick whatever show you want. The important thing is that if you want to give that you have a way too. BCEFA needs the help of theatre fans from all over the country.

Even ONE DOLLAR would make a huge difference

thanks for listening

And enjoy the photos from the casino just outside of Vancouver I took yesterday!

Honors 2007

A lovely night that needed to be because a young man lost his life. Odd mix of emotions.

... but much PRIDE
