Big D

Alright. I'm out of Dallas. To be honest, I don't have much to say about Dallas. I didn't really spend much time in Dallas. I spent a week in Los Angeles to get some R&R, but I really don't have much to report about Dallas except the following few points:

-The house itself reminds me of Sacramento / St. Louis, where as it feels as if the balcony is quite far away. Getting information out and back was interesting
-The first place I stayed was near Stemmons Freeway, where, on the first few days we stayed there, the front desk was held up at gunpoint and a car was broken into. After my vacation, I moved up to live with my Uncle in Carrollton.
-Driving in Dallas gets confusing. There are a lot of different on ramps / off ramps that go in different directions which don't feel like they go in the direction you want. Plus lots of toll roads.
- We spent a lot of time rehearsing for Toronto, so we didn't get a lot of time to get out. At least I didn't.
- The group who hosted us in Dallas were fantastic, and offered tickets to various Dallas locations, a fantastic opening night party, and catered food every day between 2 day shows! Thank you ever so much! We felt so welcome.
- I got to go on a lot, including a week of Hank the last week of Dallas.

Which means that Matt Bailey did a week of Tommy DeVitos. And Erik Bates went on vacation.

Otherwise, we were very busy gearing up for our big opening in Toronto! And here I am, and I really love it already (I've been here a day).

And in closing, I promised Ty (one of the folks who helped us get fed between shows) that I would mention her on my blog. Ask, and Ye Shall Receive.
