Somerset to Chicago...

Hey, Friends...

It's so funny.  The days and places are starting to grow cloudy.  We've all been having a hard time remembering what day it is and where we were yesterday.  I almost had to consult my own blog's google map to see where we played last.

Effingham, Illinois went well.  A huge venue.  And new.  I think three-years old.  Beautiful hotel, as well.  Got up the next morning and, as most of the tour will go, got on the bus.  Right before boarding, however, we had a little time to mill about, finish cups of coffee, chat about the previous night's show, or, as Ashley was wont to do, dance in the parking lot...

Then on to the next town, Somerset, Kentucky.  The venue was similarly spacious and new.  Did the show and came back to the hotel.  And now this morning, off to Chicago!  (Oak Brook to be exact.)

We have three days off from performance starting today.  Today and Monday are travel days off: no performances, but we do travel.  Tomorrow, Sunday, is called a Golden Day Off where you take a break from both traveling and performing.  All are loving the tour like crazy, but also looking forward to a little relaxation.

Here's a another google map link adding today's leg of the journey...

O.K.  I hear the bus humming outside my window.  I'm off, but hopefully will post again from the road.

Much love!
