Post 1: Live from Louisvile

Ladies and Gentlemen… the tour has begun. Max and Ruby (the blue tour, a very important distinction) is off and running. I am writing this initial post from a red roof inn in Louisville, Kentucky. It’s hard to believe I’m saying this, but I’m totally digging the comfort of what the rri has to offer. After a night in an econolodge and now this, you realize that not all 2nd rate hotel/motel/shmotels are created equal. Each has its own unique character and specialness…like the used condom in the waste basket of the econolodge. At least it was in the trash and not on my pillow. I bet betsy (the Indian maid with a furrier mustache than I could ever grow in my wildest dreams) was nice enough to remove It from my pillow to place it in the waste basket. I could be wrong about that, but I had a dream last night about being at a doctors office, and I think that is a direct result of the slight smell of latex wafting from my pillow as I had my nose buried into its incredible fluffy wonderfulness of the pillows offered by the aforementioned establishment, which led me to my incredible reasoning that the condom at one point was on my pillow…but alas w/o the proper csi equipment I will never be able to fully prove this hypothesis, and being that I don’t plan on heading back to that particlar econolodge in reading, pa, I will never know the real truth…a mystery that will have me waking up in cold sweats for years to come. Ps, when I mentioned the incredible fluffy wonderfulness of this e-lodge pillows I was trying to capture the idea of cardboard, but I feel like my adjectives weren’t accurate in providing a pinpoint description. Enough blabber, lets start from the top.
We left NYC on Monday morning at some butt early time, but the butt earliest time of all, just a middle of the road butt early time. Butt early is so butt early its neither possible or important to comprehend the exact specific time. Anyway! I took on the privelage of driving us out of ole new york city as we embarked on our journey. Being the morning person I am, I found myself nodding off quite frequently…which isn’t the best method of driving when 5 other peoples lives are in your care…but alas, that is why god created the rumble strip! (and god did in fact create the rumble strip, there was a special exhibit on it at the Creationism Museum in Cincinnati, OH, that was passed by) The exhibition was entitled The Rumble Strip: An end to stampeding tri-tops. That’s right friends, humans, which were created at the same time as dinos, were also given the rumble strip as a means of stopping stampeding dinosaurs…gosh god, you rock. O and the creationism museum is real and as in Cincinnati. Oh America…o my home town…o bengals…ooop a dooo.
So there I was driving, veering off the road, hitting the strip, jolting awake, and scaring the cast half to death…but bygolly we made it to ventor, nj…albeit wicked late. We had 45 minutes to set-up the show and get on stage…and by golly we did it! And we performed the pants off that show. (a forthcoming post on the details of the show, as well as the load-in/out will show up eventually, cuz they’re both way too brilliant to not talk about in-depth, but this particular show went jus fine. There were some real nice falls cuz the floor was slippery, but other than that it was all normal and good and stuff…and these kids absolutely go nuts. Its kinda cute in one of those aw shucks moment kinda ways.
Post show we got some eats and chilled at the beach and drove on to reading, our destination for the evening. . . yikes gotta sleep now, but ill continue after the show 2morrow morning (which is at 8) im sure ill be in a right state of mind to write at that point continuing from where’ve left off… in reading…until then…amo
