We just finished 11 shows over the coarse of 3 days...more like 2 1/2 but whose counting.
Every audience was SRO and that was even when the town was nearly empty. I thought for sure our 10:30 AM show would only have a handful of people. Then they flooded up to our stage area. Likewise Sunday Evening 4pm...surely that would be small..it always has been in past years...everyone is on their way home...there shouldn't be anyone here....5 minutes til showtime and there are 4 people in the front row. I walked the town around 10 minutes before curtain and the ghost town was living up to it's name. But Before the overture ended every seat was filled and there were standers all around. Were they ghosts?
With that many shows under our belt our total (not counting strolling shows) shows since June 27th is 189!
Only one worry (besides the thwarted fires yesterday) is that just as we left the town to go back to the hotel (we drive home tomorrow) the van's "emissions" light came on. it did it once before after getting some bad Arco Gas. That was on the drive to Texas. But this time it isn't related to gas. We hadn't filled it up in several days...still had at least 7 gallons in it. So we have to wait a couple of engine cycles to see if it is a temporary thing or a problem I need to take to my mechanic. No power loss so we will see.
We are doing the microwave meals tonight at the hotel. Fast food has gotten to be a bore to us and sit down restaurants take too long and over the years we have run into too many really bad servers. By cooking our own we can relax, watch tv, take showers, etc as our food cooks.
Rock and roll.
