A few random thoughts

Ok, so a lot has happened in the last few weeks that hasn't made it onto the blog because I have been been either tired or lacking sufficient internet access. So here goes:

In Colorado Springs we were amazed to find a pit the size of a foot ball field. We thought it looked a little strange and it did put me about 50 feet from the stage but the local crew assured us all was fine. About 3 minutes before they went to open the house the local presenter realized that they had left out four full rows of sold, season ticket holder seats. In a mad scramble we moved everything in the pit (ie drum kit, keyboards, stands, chairs, cables, instruments, amps, etc.) about 30 feet. It was a zoo! Kinda crazy and definitely memorable.

2 of our new cast members are in the show now. Anne Marie Waltz has taken over the role of Gracie Lou and is doing a great job. Devan Walker is now in the role of Becky and is a great addition as well. Melody and Barbick are extremely difficult to replace but these ladies are wonderful. And more than that they are both great personalities and energies to have around. Our 3rd new cast member arrives on Friday and will hopefully be in the show on Sunday. Then everything will be back to normal just in time for the tour to close:)

I'm almost through with Harry Potter and The Tri-Wizard Tournament (4).

At last night's show Ali Hakim didn't come onstage after 'Farmer Cowman'. The cast, in a brilliant move just decided to make the silent auction upstage slightly less silent. Awkward? yes. Uncomfortable? yes. Memorable? Of course.

And lastly here's a picture from our St. Patrick's day bash in Madison Wisconsin.
