Packing it in

Not much to discuss tonight, gentle readers. I have discovered that this tour is less post-worthy, if only because the extent of the stupid/evil behavior is less far-reaching than that of the last tour. That's wrong to say, though. This tour isn't less blog-worthy, just inspires less elongated rants. Luckily, the rest of life still exists, and that's always a good source of rant material. So fear not, you'll still get a steady diet of my vitriol. Aren't you lucky?

Today went smoothly--certainly more smoothly than the last time we were at the Hancock Center this week. And the kids were less of an oil painting. I figure by the time we reach the end of the tour, we'll have figured out how to make a Boston audience get into the show. And once again, it's weird because I felt the show went very well. Who knows? The important part is that tomorrow I'm telling Levitt I'm not interested in coming back to do the fall tour. It'll be turning down another four months of lucrative work in order to go home and hope to whatever's out there I find some sort of employment, but I really do need to get out of working for Chamber. I have nothing against them, but I've done this, and done it to the fullest extent I can, and have gleaned all I can from it. It's not going to do anything more to advance my career anymore, so I really have no reason to stick with them, because while I do enjoy the show, I don't enjoy it THAT much. I stayed with Boom Troupe longer than I should have because I loved what I did with them, and it wasn't until I started to NOT love what I was doing that I looked for something else to do. Well, now it's time to look for something else again. I am serious about attempting to put together something for kids. I have some ideas I'd like to try to develop, and I am further serious that anyone who wants to be involved, let me know. I think I have a pretty good idea of how to make it work. Or I could just be dreaming. Who knows? I do feel a little loopy.

I'm just getting burnt out--not so much on the show, since it's different than i did last time, but on the whole tour stuff surrounding it. Today, one of the crew guys at the Hancock center complimented us o the fact that we come in, unload the truck, set everything up, DO the show, then reload everything back into the truck. "Nobody does that," he said. It was nice to hear somebody appreciate just what a grind this is. I'd probably be less burnt out if I didn't have to do all the physical work on top of everything else. But hey, it is what it is, and I'll say this--at least it's keeping me in shape. I really need to cut back on the cheap food, since that's all carbs. Oy. I am so rambling tonight. Anyway, the upshot of all this is--show went well, I'm tired of lifting prosceniums, luckily we have a weekend in the same hotel until we drive into Brooklyn on Sunday, and I am looking for work for the summer so anybody knows of anything, let me know. There, that makes more sense. Pond 2012--He's a Ramblin' Man!
