8, no, 5, no 3!

So we are officially on a 3 Week Layoff. We couldn't be more excited! Last week the tour was in Wallingford CT. Because of some financial issues with ticket sales, the presenter decided to cut down to 5 shows. So we flew to NYC on Monday, and the Crew bussed to Wallingford. Beth and I hopped in a cab and went home to hoboken for the day. We had some friends over for dinner and wine, and desert, and hunt out for the night. Tuesday we got some things done around the house, and then packed the car and drove up to Wallingford. Load in started at 6pm on Tuesday, and continued Wednesday morning, and we opened that night. Thursday was a dark day, so Beth and i hopped in the car and drove up to Attleboro to visit and hang out. Friday i had a wisdom tooth pulled and got a check up at the doctors.
After that, we drove back to Wallingford for a show Friday night. Saturday everyone awoke to the news that a huge storm was rolling up the East Coast. Saturday's matinee was uneventful and between shows, there was a chili cook-off and secret Santa reveal. At 7pm, the presenter, fearful of the snow coming, canceled the show that evening. We headed home and waited for the snow to fall, and waited, and waited, and then finally at a little after 10pm, the storm ripped thru the area, kicking up high winds, and a dusty snow. It came down in heaps, and by morning, around 9am, the snow had stopped, and we had probably 12" or more on the ground. at 9:30am, the presenter, fearful of making people drive, decided to cancel the matinee. For those of you keeping track at home. That means, we'd done 3 of the 5 scheduled shows. They set a 3pm call for the load out, and we went in and tore it out. I was in the car with Beth by 6pm and home in hoboken shortly before 8.

And now the craziness begins. Going to be traveling up and down 95 a bit this coming week+ visiting family and friends. Time to head into the city and do some more xmas shopping and other errands. If your in the Boro from December 23rd-26th let us know. And if your in Bel Air from December 26th-30th let us know!
