It's 6.45 am, it's still pitch black outside. The ground is covered in ice, snow, slush and more ice and the van you're driving (which, incidentally is only Front Wheel Drive) gets stuck.
STUCK.
All five passengers had to climb out of the van, while Leigh steered it to safety. We struggled, strained and screamed and eventually got the van rolling - the problem was that we couldn't stop the vehicle for fear of getting stuck again so, as it rolled, we all ran up and jumped in, pulling in the person behind us. It was very Little Miss Sunshine. Oh the glamour of it all.
We arrived at SUNY Fredonia, where we are performing in the Rockefeller Centre, loaded in the show and did the first of what was to be six performances (at two a day). Except, then:
And then the second show got canceled!
What's nice is that now we have the entire afternoon to ourselves; the vans are being taken to Jamestown to get serviced, there's a bowling alley within walking distance, a movie complex across the road. And there's always Walmart, if we need to stock up on things! Plus I have every intention of returning to the Wing City Grill (where we ate last night... which reminds me, last night was wonderful. We went out as a company to this wonderful little place, ate a great meal, had some decent beer, sang a little too loudly and called it a night). As for right now, I'm planning on getting back into my swimsuit and schlepping down to the pool, swimming a few lengths and then chilling out in the hot-tub.
I love when shows get canceled.
