Show # 20/It's still winter in PA

So last night, we arrived in Erie PA to a hearty foot of snow... and yes, we had to dig the passenger van out of it when we backed onto some ice that we couldn't get any traction on. It's a glamorous life. After a delicious artery-hardening meal at Arby's with Leigh and Ethan, I trudged through the slush back to my room, watched part of a TERRIBLE show called October Road and then called it a night in time for this morning's 7.15 call.

My energy was SO LOW during the show today and though I tried, I could not compensate for it. There was a funny moment when Ester and I fell over back-stage, just as we were prepping for the Blue Tarantula scene (we get sort of tangled up in each other... maybe I'll put up a picture some day, but probably not). Anyway, we lost our balance, toppled over and consequently found the song to be un-singable... at least not when we had the giggles that badly.

I also have to tighten the elastic around my ears; they keep tilting and sliding about so much that I'm worried they're going to fly clean off of my head! So tonight, I'll have some needle/thread time and fix the bastards so that they couldn't budge even if they wanted to. (As long as they move when I want them to... after all, I can't just walk around in bunny ears all the time. I'm not a Playmate.)

For now, though, we've arrived at our first-class Days Inn, where we will be spending the next several nights while we perform in Fredonia. Should be a good time (so long as the snow eases up).
I'm off to spend time in the hot tub - touring makes me sore all over.
