Home for the moment

It feels good to be back in Western MA after having been gone for so long (3 1/2 months is a long time!). I'm still waiting on the paperwork, but I have taken a position as the Head Electrician for the national tour of "A Chorus Line". I'm very excited and, as always, a little nervous about this new adventure. I will be living on a bus with 6 other crew people and the driver. I don't know yet if I'll be the only girl on the bus. Occasionally we'll have hotel rooms, but more than not will be on the bus - this should be interesting. I've been getting some great advice from friends in the industry who have toured, and one gave me a heads-up on some of the more challenging venues. I'm doing everything I can think of to prepare for this both mentally and professionally. For the folks looking for housing for me in NYC - thank you. I'm now not sure if I'll be going to the City - I may end up just flying to the shop, then joining the tour in Tacoma from there. So here's the first part of the schedule: Tech at shop Oct 9-20. Tacoma, WA Oct 21-27. Portland, OR Oct 28, Abbottsford, BC (yes, I get to go to CANADA!!) Oct 30. And for those of you in Western MA, if you want to get together, call me SOON. Time is slipping away, and I'll only be home for 2.5 weeks at Christmas before I'm off on the road again.
