We had our second last show of the tour tonight in Nanaimo. I can't believe it's gone by so fast. Yet not. I feel like we've been away for weeks. And not in a "What a nightmare! I hate these people!" way but in a "Wow, we've done so much and had a great time!" kinda way. You know. It seems when you're away from home and far from your familiar surroundings everything seems new and exciting. That is why I absolutely love traveling. I really feel like I could live the life of a rock star. And I don't mean a never ending supply of hookers and blow. Well, uh ... no. I mean fancy hotels, cool restaurants, shopping, meeting new people, exploring new cities, adoring fans ... that stuff.
We have been really well received out here. What a great feeling. The crowd tonight in Nanaimo was incredible. And the theatre manager used to be the house manager at the old Second City back in the day. He was there during both Deb and Kathy's time on mainstage. He brought some old photos that were really amazing. Time. It changes things. Wow, how very profound. Or punchy. Can't tell. I was up at 6:30am to do a voice job patched in from Toronto this morning so I'm pretty exhausted. I'm going to try and get up early tomorrow and go for a run down by the water front. I need to take advantage of the scenery before we leave. Fill my lungs with fresh air before I head back to my dear, flat, polluted Toronto. I do you love you, Toronto, but you hurt me so.
More pics to peruse. Bigger this time. The last ones seemed a little small. One from Horseshoe Bay awaiting the ferry. One on the ferry and one from on stage. Sadly can't remember which theatre. It's all a blur, man.
