High Plains Drifter

Okay,from left to right: Wysteria(Samantha Wallace), me, Sweetberry(Elissa Newcorn),and Minty(Taylor Morgan).

We spent all last week in Denver,where I got to spend quite a bit of time with my friend Jacques,who I worked with at the restaurant for 7 or 8 years. He then went into the management side of things and got transferred out to Denver,where he's been for the past 2 years. The plus side of him being a manager now is that he can comp anybody's meal that he feels like,which he very kindly did when Jamie and I showed up at his restaurant for dinner Sunday nite!

A split week in Montana this week. For the uninitiated,split week means 2 cities in 1 week. So we're in Billings now and will be in Great Falls the second half. We've been lucky in that this is only our 2nd split week so far,Dayton-Evansville being the other back in November. However,we've got a lot more coming up,including 5 in a row in April-May. This is actually my first time in Montana,which brings me up to 48 states that I've been to. I still need Hawaii and North Dakota.

More weird casting changes going on. My roommate Tim,who plays Rainbow Dash,was out all last week after having a cyst removed from his back. Not a big deal,except he can't wear his pony costume until the incision heals! So he'll continue to be out of the show here in Billings and possibly through Great Falls as well. Luckily,RJ was ready to go in for Thistle Whistle right at the time Tim went out,so Josh (the swing) was able to move right over to Rainbow Dash. But we just found out that RJ will be moving to one of the other tours to take over as their Sound Tech in 2 weeks. But if everything goes according to plan,RJ will be leaving right about the same time that Carlos FINALLY comes back,so hopefully that will be a seamless transition. We will then be getting a new Assistant Electrician to replace RJ. Hopefully Tim will be ready to come back the end of this week or the beginning of next week in Anaheim.
