To The Rosebud!

The day started out with Momma O's pound cake greeting the recently awakened cast boarding the bus for Illinois...





And then as luck would have it, we had to pull off and get a new water hose for the bus.  But luckily the truck stop at the next exit had a garage that specialized in semis and buses.  Amazing.  What was more amazing was that we were in Cuba...



Cuba, Missouri, that is...   And so as the mechanics did their magic, we found ourselves upon found time.  Some convenience store shopped, some read, some took a walk, many called home...



Soon we were on the open road once again, resuming activities as normal...





And then in the distance...



The St. Louis Arch!





John's arch is much more inspiring, don't you think?

We made it to Effingham, checked into our hotel, and then on to The Rosebud Theatre!







Vince has got the Lennie Celebration Move down pat.

The theater provided a great dinner which led into a little down time then fight call and sound check, and then the show.  We returned to the hotel around 10:30 PM and we leave for Somerset, KY tomorrow at 8:15 AM.

So....

'night!

  1. I've played Somerset, KY a number of times. What I remember chiefly is that it is (was) a DRY county. Hm. Have a big day, folks.
