Routine ???

... well not yet but we're getting better each day. From my little seat on the bus things are going very well. The biggest surprise for me was how well I can sleep on a moving bus. Our excellent driver, Uncle Bill, said that many people have trouble sleeping after they get home. When we arrived in Long Island at 2:30 this morning he kept our engine running because people tend to wake up as soon as it he shuts it down. I honestly feel like a little kid passed out in the back of the family car. Being exhausted doesn't hurt either.

Everyone I've met has been great. There are 9 on our bus and to a person they are all the type of people I would pick to ride across the country with. Our first shows were in Albany and Baltimore. Yesterday we were in Newark where I met Cindy, who is an IATSE 23 Stage hand who also happens to be an Ironworker who helped build the venue we were working in. In this pic she is demonstrating the first part of what was described as a very painful move she inflicts on any "25 year old boy" who doubts her capability as an Ironworker in local 11.

The subject of her demonstration is Matt Henderson. He is an engineer who designed and built our system. Matt is only with us for 2 weeks, but "Keep Matt" buttons are starting to show up on people everywhere.

After the show tonight we are in a Manhattan hotel for 2 nights and then to Pittsburgh where we have one more day off before Thursday's show.
