2008 Spring/Summer Tour - Day 101

I had a show this morning at the Helena Middle School on behalf of the Mom's Club of Helena and it turned out to be a really terrific audience and one of my favorite overall shows of this trip. There are some shows in venues like that, where there is a big separation between the stage and the audience seating (they actually had a locked gate separating the stage and the audience, which I had someone unlock and open before the show) and a bright spotlight that makes it hard to see anybody, where I might feel a little disconnected from the audience and have a harder time getting every nuance across. But this time it didn't matter... Everything went over particularly well, and the kids and parents and I all shared in a really fun experience.

After the show I went out to lunch with Joe, Jim and Jim, who were the promoters of the show. They are really great guys and we had a lot to talk about. I drove from there to Bozeman to see Roseann's nephew Stephen and his family. We'd seen them a few times when they lived out in Seattle, but haven't had a chance to see them in their new home. We all went over to the home of their friends, Glen and Denice, and had a barbecue dinner and chatted until the mosquitos came out in force, then we went back to their place and I went to bed early (7:30 am flight tomorrow).

Roseann and the girls spent much of the day at Rachel's and ended up staying overnight there. Apparently, Becca got a hold of James and Carl's Fisher Price camera and took a bunch of pictures... we'll have to look into getting one of those cameras for the girls.
