Swanky hotel, but sleep would be nice too...


So I didn't blog about the 2nd driving day, but really...it's nothing to blog about!

The cold is almost gone, which is good, especially considering the higher altitude.

Yesterday we had the shortest tech-in day ever, 3 hours and out of there by noon! We only had school shows to prep for and some of the lighting was adjustable via remote control, which saved a bunch of time! Awesome.

This morning we had two school shows which ran pretty well. At the end of the second one, we came down into the seats to answer questions the kids had. I got asked how tall I was, lol.

As for where we're staying, The Charter, there's a lot of high points and one big low point. The hotel is pure swank, fancy everything without being too froo-froo. The local plaza next door has an outdoor ice-skating rink, really good restaurants, and a gorgeous view no matter where you are. The low point? A gas detector going off in our room at 3:37, ear-piercingly loud, for 27 minutes. It said there was "explosive gas" and to "call 911". It was so loud that it was physically too painful to try to figure out how to turn it off. We called the front desk twice and they told us maintenance was on its way...but never showed up. Apparently, after some web research, we found that the model goes off often with no threats about. Swell.

Anyways, we're off for about 9 hours of driving tomorrow, dropping off one performer and picking up a new one. We'll end up in Pinedale, WY and perform on Thursday! Stay tuned for more!
