I just walked into my hotel after finishing a show to a sold out audience in Lincoln, NE! It was crazy invigorating to perform for such a huge house, so I thought I'd sit down and blog while I have all this energy still pumping.
We've had some long travel days the past couple of weeks, but it's been nothing that a drinking game won't fix (can I say that?) I'm remembering how the tour bus grows to be a comfort for me. It's the only constant place we have, so it sorta becomes home. We all pile into the bus wearing sweats and pj's and the majority of the cast sleeps until lunch. Harley provides gum or candy, then we vote on a movie and we just vege out. My goals for next week on the bus are to make sure Sheila gets her damn shoes before it's time to load off, and to teach Declan how to play Texas Hold 'Em. He'll be learning from the best. I have the shirt to prove it, thanks to the lovely Mimi Jimenez who bought me a "Joe Hold 'Em" shirt with Snoopy on it!!
Lincoln has been awesome. I never thought I could respect a city that has so much love for the Cornhuskers, but hey, I try to keep an open mind! Today I even got a massage (great idea Jared)! Plus, the entire cast and crew got to go see a movie for free. I went with Warren, Mimi, Mitch, and Kristin to see The Grudge 2 (bad idea). Tomorrow I am forced to get a haircut. They want me to loose the foehawk during La Vie Boheme (the waiter is very sad).
Ah the touring life...
Keep checking for updates!
No Day But Today!!!!
