So I went over to the venue at 1 p.m. to check things out, meet my truck at five and say hi to everyone. When I got there it was kind of great lots of hugs and double kisses. Almost everyone asked about my tour break and about saying goodbye to Craig. I put one of my Craig buttons on my jacket and everyone thought it was really cool how we remembered him. I showed my friends my “Be Better” tattoo and actually talked about him a bunch today. A few people even said they would make donations to his charity. His website is actually up just go to www.craigmurphey.com and check it out. There is a bunch of great info on there about Craig and his life and ideas for others to follow in his footsteps.

So saying hello to everyone and talking about breaks was great.

I went to check out the venue and it is the smallest place we have been so far. I have no storage for my stuff and can’t even keep it on a truck because we have to keep so much gear on them. The concourse is so narrow that I have no idea where I am going to set up the merch. I am in a bit of a pickle because the owner of Cirque is actually coming this week to check out the show, a big part of that is me. So I really have to figure something out. Once I covered my stuff I went and hung out in catering and watched Zoolander with some of the truck drivers who could not stop laughing. I hung out a bit longer then walked back to the hotel. It is freezing here and might snow hopefully while we are here. The spanish mafia was downstairs when I got to the hotel and looked like they were going to freeze to death. They were all bundled up just standing in lobby looking like lost puppy dogs.

Some union guy told me that New York sucked today and he would not shut-up about it, I brought to his attention that he lived in Champaign, IL. Then he talked some more but I blocked him out and stared at the wall. What a jerk. “New York Sucks”-jerk. “I am from New York”-me. “It Sucks its horrible…blah blah blah.”-jerk. I told him I was sorry he could not hack it.

Tonight I will be going to meet my 22 year old cousins 30 year old boyfriend. I am going to bring a dozen people to his bar and hopefully not completely offend him. I don’t know, I am trying not to judge but it is so ingrained in my soul that I can’t help it.

So I will just get warm and watch some family guy and wait for everybody to be done with load in.

Be Safe.
