The Last Leg

Starting tonight will be our last group of shows before the tour is over. We are in Boston now but I have stuff to cover since New York so there is plenty to talk about. I finished the last post talking about New York and how much fun we had in the city. There wasn’t much special to our show day other than a great run through Central Park. It was nice to get a better feel for the area and I know the park pretty well by this point. It ended up being a little over 5 miles.

We drove down to Richmond from the city and I got the chance to see Krysta as well as friends and family. Thankfully Mrs. Barnard did some laundry for me to get rid of some tour funk that gotten on it during the day. I met up with my parents and brother during the day and we walked down to the river for a bit before getting ready. Krysta and Valerie got to come backstage and see Jerry Springer before the show. The crowd was the best that we have had yet with people cheering throughout the performance. Afterwards it was a good to see all of the crew from King George that came down. The support was amazing.

The tour continued with its usual driving all over the place passing cities that we would be performing in at a later date. Connecticut sounded like a cool area but I didn’t wake up early enough to see anything around the hotel. On the way to the venue we passed some small little New England towns. The show was at Foxwoods MGM Casino and Resort but the gloomy weather kept most of us inside. The theater was huge and one of the nicer ones we’ve been at, but I guess the middle of the woods on an Indian reservation isn’t prime real estate so there’s no issue with making the resort that big.

We made our way into Atlantic City walking into the Trump Taj Mahal at 5:30 in the morning seeing people still at the slot machines after an all-nighter (how are people not broke by that point?). But we quickly fell asleep before waking to more gloomy weather. It wasn’t raining but I didn’t make it out for a run and the gym was $20 for a day pass. We weren’t able to check into the hotel in Boston till later the next morning so they kept us in AC for a few hours longer than usual. Being a group of college guys we had a great time in the casino until they dragged us back to the busses.

Boston was one of my favorite cities the group has traveled to. We stayed right across the Charles River in Cambridge, within a mile of MIT and about two miles from Harvard and Boston University. The views from the hotel were great. One of the days we went for another sightseeing run to Bunker Hill and along the Freedom Trail which passed by Paul Revere’s House as well as the Old North Church.

We ate at Quincy Market during the day and got to check out Mike’s Pastry Shop. It was definitely an eventful city seeing as we were there for Halloween as well. Mike our sound guy took everyone out to a club the night of, which included most of production and the older cast members. I got to meet up with Joe, one of Krysta’s friends, who goes to BU and Aurora from the Live Show also stopped by to see the performance. We are now on our way to D.C. where I will get to see some family and friends. It should be a good home crowd for us.
