Hello everyone, and welcome to the final blog for my time on the Million Dollar Quartet 1st National Tour. It's hard to believe that 4 years have flown by this quickly, and that I have been writing about our adventures this whole time. Of course my feelings were certainly starting to become pretty bittersweet; though the road had become a bit exhausting, I certainly wasn't ready to say goodbye to the show, or to my MDQ family. On top of that, with our recent accident a lot of things about me future were very much up in the air. And, rather than bore you with much of the minute details of my every move on our 3 days off in Englewood, I will sum up those days. So, here goes my last foray into my tour blogging. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up on Monday morning in a lot of pain, and dreading the flight to New Jersey. I had decided pretty quickly that I NEEDED to go to the ER once I was settled. My wrists were almost completely useless; it took me nearly 15 minutes just to put on my socks that morning. I needed help packing and moving my suitcases. Luckily, once I was downstairs with my bags I had a lot of time before our bus left for the airport. I had decided at that point that I should probably have some wrist braces to support my injuries while I was on the flight, and Corey and Mary were nice enough to drive me to a pharmacy to get me a few things. We made it back in more than enough time to get on the bus, and everyone was very kind and thoughtful asking about the night before. The flight itself was pretty awful. The pressure in the cabin caused my already bruised and swollen hands to get even worse. And, I couldn't sleep as I usually do on the plane because of it. Once we finally got in after landing at LaGuardia and making the nearly 2 hour drive to Jersey (again, my favorite state), I was pretty miserable. After having help moving in from Meghan and Johnny, I decided it was time to get food and go to the ER. I waited for quite a while, and once I was finally seen, I was in a room for even longer. In the 5 hours I was there, they did x-rays on both of my wrists, chastised the Austin paramedics, and did a CT scan due to the bruises on my stomach to make sure I didn't have any internal injuries. Once I was finally cleared, I was left with a clear blood test, a clean CT scan and the knowledge that I would have to go to a specialist to be fitted for a cast for two broken bones in one of my wrists. 4-6 weeks in a cast would mean my tour was effectively over, and put into question my next contract as well as much of my professional near future. It was a hard night to say the least. Thankfully, I had the support of my amazing crew. The following day was spent laying low and resting, icing and trying to do as little as possible. The one thing I did do was head to the mall to replace my iPhone. It was damaged during the accident, and I knew it wouldn't make it the next few months until I was eligible for an upgrade. Wednesday was much the same, except I fielded a few phone calls from insurance adjustors, and I had my appointment with the specialist. I had resigned myself to the fact that I would be picking out a color for my cast, and that I just needed to deal with the fact that I had broken bones and would need a lot of recovery time. After a short wait, I went in to see the specialist. The first thing he told me to do was take off my right wrist splint (above). He then proceeded to tell me that my wrist wasn't broken at all; that they both in fact had been sprained, but I did not in any way need a cast. I was shocked to say the least, but I cannot even explain to you the amount of relief I felt. I was given a wrist brace to use sparingly, and that I needed to ice my wrists each night....and then I was cleared to go back to work. Given the pain I was still experiencing, I wasn't sure that it was even still a possibility. I arrived back at the hotel, and gave the great news to a bunch of the crew and called my parents. I still needed to spend the rest of the day resting, so I was hold up in my room for quite a while. I was looking forward to the possibility of going back to work, but I really wasn't sure that my wrists would be up to it. Johnny was kind enough to offer me his guitar to try things out on Thursday before the show. I woke up that day and was pretty concerned that it just wasn't going to happen. But, I was getting kind words and support from the entire crew, management, the cast, and even the creative team and producers. That certainly lifted my spirits. I tried out the guitar and found that though my wrists were in pain, I was more than able to play and hold the guitar as I always did with a little help and support from an Ace bandage. It was really the little mundane things in my day and that I would have to do on stage that proved a challenge. Things like turning door handles, shaking hands, buttoning my fly, putting on my socks and shoes. But, I was confident that I would be able to do it. That evening I reunited with the boys, and we made our way nearly 20 minutes away to the Bergen PAC (above); it was actually quite close to where I had seen the specialist the day before. I had quite a few friends at the show that night, and though I didn't want to have let them down, I knew that THAT couldn't be my deciding factor as to whether or not I would do the show. The cast was very understanding as to the small changes I needed to make to do my show close to as usual, and sound check went off without a hitch. It was hard to believe that it was our next to last sound check, and that we were only a few days from the end of tour. Following our sound check, we were able to meet and talk to a big fan of ours (above); Mason and a lot of his family were there, so it was really nice to talk to all of them and pose for a few pictures before heading backstage. After catching people up on my prognosis and the events of the last few days, it was time to do a show. I was pretty nervous going into it, knowing that I wasn't fully sure how my wrists would hold up. The show went very well considering, and though the audience was a bit quiet (the specialist's assistant and her husband were also in the audience), I was just glad to have made it through without a problem. That night I laid low after the show at the hotel, icing my wrists and resting for our travel day to our final venue the next day. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a moderate call on Friday to head to Vienna, and the travel day that followed was not exactly the greatest; pretty fitting for the final group day of travel. We ended up leaving late, and after also leaving late after our lunch stop at a mall we had barely any time at the hotel before we had to leave. My parents arrived at the hotel just before we did, so I was able to say a quick hello to them before the boys and I made the long drive to the venue. We had been looking to Wolf Trap (above) for a while, as it is a famous and very large outdoor venue. The crew had a smooth load in (their last), and we had so much room back stage, the set would fit 3 or 4 times over. The sound check was a bit weird, as the audience had already started to assemble in the seats before we had even started. We were glad that there was a bit of cover for the audience, as the only other outdoor venue I had ever played was the Starlight in Kansas City. The rain there certainly affected the audience, so we were looking forward to clear skies for our weekend in Virginia. The curtain went up on opening night, and that was a bit weird as well. Because of the time of year, it was still light for almost the first hour of the show, making the audience totally visible and taking away from our lighting affects a bit. The audience was great though, and I was very glad to have my parents in the audience. My wrists were still bothering me, but they were certainly getting better. I was also supposed to meet up with some friends of Bill Miller (owner of the Johnny Cash Museum in Nashville, and operator of the Johnny Cash podcast and 24/7 radio station), but that ended up falling through. I had set up a backstage tour for their group, but security wouldn't let them close to the stage door. Oh well. I found my parents after the show and we made our way back to the hotel to chill for the evening. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday was unfortunately quite rainy, but thankfully I also had some time off with my parents. Months earlier, Frace had asked if he could be swung on so that his family in the DC area could see him as Cash, and I was more than happy to oblige. I had the matinee off to see some sights with my parents, though the rain cramped our style a bit. We headed to Manassas, where 2 important Civil War battles took place. It poured most of the time we were there, but we were still able to enjoy the museum and take a driving tour of the grounds (above), including the Stone House that was used as a hospital and headquarters and various points. I was more than glad that we had the day to spend together, as my wrists seemed to be reacting pretty badly to the rain. Following our trip to the battlefield, we made our way through the pouring rain to get some Pho nearby our hotel. I was pretty tired after our sight seeing, so I wanted to get a bit of rest before the show that evening. I also knew I needed to head in early to pack up my trunk, as time was getting very short. I needed a bit of help putting a box together (thanks, Justin!!), but I got everything sorted in more than enough time to be ready for the show. Lane and Colin greeted me at the theatre that night, and presented me with the amazing plaque pictured above. I was pretty overcome with emotion, as it meant a lot to me that they took the time recognize David and I for our time with the show. They were also quite concerned about the boys and I having been in an accident, proving once again that the MDQ family is always there for you. We had an amazing show that night with Lane, Colin, Erica from Broadway Across America, and a slew of other people in the audience. Due to the load out the following night, the company opted to throw us our closing night party on Saturday. So once we all got back from the theatre, we went our separate ways to change before heading to the nearby restaurant. I picked up my parents, clad in black (in the most appropriate attire I could muster), and headed to meet up with everyone. It was a really great spread, and it was so nice for everyone to be in the same place at the same time. I was able to introduce my parents to everyone in the cast and crew that they hadn't met yet, as well as Colin and his wife. They had some amazing food for us, and my parents sat and talked with various people while grazing on sliders, fish tacos and flat breads. They left shortly after midnight, and I spent the rest of the evening hanging with everyone who was left before making my way home. The rain had stopped, so I decided to take the short walk home by myself. Then, it was time to rest for the big day that followed. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was very strange to wake up on Sunday morning, knowing full well that we would be closing the show for good that night. I met up with my parents briefly before the boys and I headed out for food and coffee, and for one of our last trips to the theatre. They had prepared me for how odd the matinee would be, as we would be in sunlight the entire time. The sunlight notwithstanding, we all had a great show. It was hard to believe that there was only one show left. The boys and I made our way back toward the hotel and ran a few errands before I met up with my parents for dinner. I was pretty tired, but I think because I was so wired and full of adrenaline and nerves for the final show, I really didn't notice. My parents and I headed to Firehouse Subs, a family favorite for a few years. We had a nice quick dinner, and then headed back to the hotel for a bit to get ready for the last show. I knew that it would be pretty emotional, as it had been the better part of my life for the last 4 years. But, all good things must come to an end. I grabbed coffee for the boys (and a banana for Jake), and we took our last trip to the theatre. I got ready early, as Meghan and I needed to start wig prep early in anticipation for our final company meeting. It was a bit surreal to have Meghan put my wig on for the final time. We shared a bit of a tear together before we made our way out the green room for the meeting. Most of us were pretty emotional, and it was a lot to take in. Chuck Mead arrived from Helena, MT that evening to join us, and we had decided that he would sit in with us and do one of his favorite covers Red Hot. We talked through it a bit with him as company management handed out our final tour gift: portable MDQ coolers. A functional and extremely appropriate gift considering our group. Once we had said a few words and wished each other well, we all went our separate ways to get ready for our final performance as a group. The closing audience didn't disappoint; and though I honestly had a really hard time making it through the "breakup scene" and much of the end of the show, in the end I was just glad to have given it my all with an amazing cast that had all become my family. The added bonus of letting loose with Chuck onstage was pretty amazing. Following the show, we all met up with Colin, Chuck, my parents and a few other friends and family before leaving the venue. Emotionally and physically exhausted, we all made the long drive back to our hotel. I spent some time with my parents before heading to the lobby for an informal hang with the rest of the cast and crew once they had completed load out. We were all pretty drained from the day and the rest of the week, and likewise most of us had an early morning as well all made our way to our respective homes. I split a bit early in favor of getting some rest before my trip home the following day. After a bit of shuttle trouble, I was well on my way back to Maine on Monday morning. And thus, tour is over. </div>

In the following days and weeks, I spent some time at home in Maine with my family, clearing out a bunch of stuff and getting a storage unit to hold it. I have "moved" my things back into the room I grew up in, after not having slept in my bed for nearly a decade. I've been in the city for much of the month seeing friends, catching some live music and doing my best to lay low and enjoy my "vacation". In that time, I accepted and signed my contract to reprise my role from tour in the regional theatre premier of the show at the Ogunquit Playhouse in Maine under the direction of Broadway star (and original Broadway Sam Phillips) Hunter Foster. There will be a few familiar faces in the cast to MDQ fans, and I am really looking forward to this new opportunity. </div>

I would be remiss in my blogging duties if I didn't take the time to remember all those that have been on tour with us in various capacities over the last few years. If I have forgotten anyone, please forgive me...and message me so I can fix it. Following that, there are some numbers for the final tally of cities, venues and performances. </div>

Now for some numbers about the tour. In 4 years we did<span style="font-size: 12px;"> </span>984 performances including previews and invited performances (495 for me, 466 of them as Cash), in 200 cities and 3 countries at 191 different venues. </div>

<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;">
And finally, I would just like to thank our general manager Lane Marsh, our creatives (Eric Schaeffer, Chuck Mead, Colin Escott, Floyd Mutrux, Scott Weinstein, August Eriksmoen, Ethan Deppe and David Ruttura), our producers (Ted Rollins, Gigi Pritzker, Erica Rotstein) and the amazing folks at Type A Marketing (Robin Steinthal, Melissa Cohen, John McCoy and Erica Jacobson) for all of their hard work and never-ending support. We never could have done this tour without you. </div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;">

<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; line-height: 16px;">
And with that, I will leave you with the knowledge that though the 1st National Tour of MDQ has closed and will be going out non union in the fall, this will not be the last you hear of me, or of any of our adventures with this show. I hope you will continue to check back for updates on my new production in Ogunquit, and that all of you out there in cyberspace are well. As always, thanks for reading. </div>

We ended up having the day off on Monday in New Haven, so I spent much of the afternoon with my parents before they headed home to Maine. After a missed attempt to get a burger at Louis' Lunch, home of the hamburger, I took my parents to get a couple of great hot dogs at Jake's hot dogs around the corner from the Shubert. After they left, I ran a few errands and went to a local diner with Jake before spending much of the day off in my room at the hotel. </div>

On Tuesday, we made the moderately long drive to Lancaster, PA. We were staying relatively far from the area of Lancaster that I was so used to, but within walking distance from our venue. I was a little irked that I was so close to an area I had spent so much time in without time to hang out, but it was at least nice to be in familiar surroundings. Colte and I had quite a few people from the Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre coming to see us that night, so we were both very much looking forward to that. We didn't have a whole lot of time at the hotel before the show, so I grabbed some quick food and headed to the theatre. The American Music Theatre (above) is one of the few theatres I hadn't been to in town, but I was looking forward to playing there that night. I had had quite a few friends work at AMT over the years, so I was glad to be able to check it out. The show went really well that night, and it was great to be able to catch up with all of the DA people. Once I got back from the show, I opted to grab some terrible yet awesome food at Waffle House, and then headed back to hang out with some of the boys. We had a long day of travel all the way back down to Texas the next day, so I made it a pretty early night. </div>

Our travel took much of the day on Wednesday, as we headed to the Philadelphia airport, and took a couple of flights into Shreveport, LA. We got into our hotel in Texarkana in the early evening, and shortly after that we all decided to head out and get some dinner. I took Colte, Patrick and Jake to Olive Garden where we met up with Chuck for a great dinner. We were there for quite a while before heading back to the hotel for the evening. I didn't do a whole lot that night, which was probably good considering the crazy week we had ahead. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jake had spoken highly of a tiny little town about an hour away from Texarkana, so Colte, Patrick and I decided to join him on a little journey there. Jefferson was a quaint little town, with a lot of antique stores and little shops along the way. We looked around for a vintage record player shop that Jake had found years ago when his family retreated to the the area during one of the threatening hurricanes. We also stopped in for lunch at the Hamburger Store (above), where Jake had taken his family almost a decade before. It was more than worth the stop. We wandered around for quite a while taking in the sights (above) before we headed back to Texarkana. I wanted to check out (or, at least see) the Texarkana Municipal Building, where a few of the guys actually played, and Cash did his first performance with the Tennessee Two there in support of their first Sun single, Hey Porter!/Cry Cry Cry. We couldn't get inside, as it is now all town offices and such, but at least we got to see it. We fought through the rain to get back to the car, and saw where Texas and Arkansas meet at the post office in town (above). After that, we headed home to chill a while before opening the show in town that night. Our one show at the Perot Theatre (above) was great that night, and the boys and I headed to Buffalo Wild Wings (again) for a little food and convo that night. We were joined by Justin and Jeffrey a bit later, and we all rejoiced in the TERRIBLE service that we received. And by rejoiced, I mean gritted our teeth and shook our fists. Once we FINALLY got our food and our checks, we headed home in preparation for the early morning the next day. </div>

We had an early call for a long travel day on Friday, as we made our way south to Galveston, TX. I had been looking forward to this stop for quite a while, as I had heard a lot of great things about the 1894 Grand Opera House (above). We had a bit of a random lunch stop that day, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Gabe and I headed to one of the only options for some not so great Chinese buffet, before jumping on the bus for the rest of our journey. We got in with a smidgen of time to spare and chill before having to make the extremely long drive that night. We made a stop at Starbucks before our meeting, and barely made it to the theatre in time for it, but we made it nonetheless. The venue certainly did not disappoint, and neither did the audience. It was definitely one of the best audiences we had had in a while. Following that, we were a bit mobbed by fans at the stage door (that rarely happens) who were mostly Jake's friends and family. Even with Johnny Cash printed on my forehead and a CASH t-shirt, I somehow always seem to avoid the crowd. I made my way back to the hotel on my own that night, as the other boys went out with friends. Jake had been trying to figure out a night to play poker, so we picked that night (ironically, Jake didn't end up playing). I set up the chips and cards in a meeting room at our hotel, and we had a nice little group doing a bit of gambling that night. Briggs, Lou, Skye, Frace and Colte all came down to play, with assorted other people stopping in to hang out. I ended up going out on what seemed to be a great hand; a straight....but Skye had a full house. He ended up winning that night, and after a long night of talking and cards, I was ready for bed. </div>

Saturday brought the usual busy double show day, and with the long drive we opted to stay at the theatre in between shows. The matinee went extremely well (though, there were some septic problems in the theatre, causing a bit of a flood in our dressing room....gross), and following that I did some packing and unpacking with my trunk before heading in search of food. I walked around a bit in the blistering heat before taking an invitation for Meghan and Johnny to join them for lunch at a nearby gumbo place. It was a great little dinner, filled with some tasty catfish and raw oysters. I then headed to a nearby vintage store to check out there records. Not having the time to look through hundreds of unsorted LP's (my pet peeve), I opted to grab some coffee on my way back to the theatre, and then sat around for a bit before doing another great show that evening. The fans at the stage door were a bit unruly that evening (there was a lot of pushing and pulling and demanding; not exactly what we look for in gracious fans....), so I was glad to get safely to the car and be on our way home. We had another travel day on Sunday, so I decided to lay low that night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a bit of a later call that day, as the drive to Austin wasn't all that long. We did get a bit delayed however, so we didn't have much time to sit at the hotel before we needed to leave for the show. This time we were a bit closer to downtown, which we were all looking forward to. We made our way to the massive and gorgeous Long Center (above) that evening for regrettably our one and only show there. We had played Austin nearly two years before, and I got to go on for a few shows while we were playing on campus. Though our week there had been great, the audiences were no match for the powerhouse of enthusiasm we got that night. It might have been helped by the fact that there were a slew of theatre arts students there, and we would be meeting them later for a talkback organized by the theatre. The show done, and all of us feeling great about the audience that night, the Quartet, Bryan and Frace headed to a nearby space to talk to a large group of students. We were there for quite a while, talking about our careers thus far, the show, our training, and answering all sorts of great questions. We all left the theatre, and headed our separate ways. Our plan was to drop Jake off at the Continental Club to catch a show, while Gabe, Colte and I planned to head to the Mean Eyed Cat, a restaurant named for a Johnny Cash song. I had wanted to go there the last time we were in town, but didn't find out about it until it was too late. The boys and I were on our way there, when the unthinkable happened; we were in a head on collision. It was a very scary experience, and aside from us being very shaken up, the car being totalled and not really sure of what happened due to how fast it happened, I was in pretty rough shape. The EMT's and police released us, though in hindsight they should have sent us to the hospital. Still in shock, we headed back to the hotel. I was sore and still reeling from what happened, and I had a feeling that a doctor's visit would be in my near future. The crew met us at the hotel when we arrived, and showered us with well wishes and hugs. All I wanted to do was ice my wrists and sleep. Though, that would prove a challenge. I had a long travel day to look forward to the following day, and at that point I wasn't sure how I was going to make it through. It also looked as though my plans to go to NYC for our days off in New Jersey would be foiled. But, that's a story for my next and final installment of my blog. </div>

Thanks for tuning in, I'll be in WAY overdue. I realize that the end of this blog is a bit heavy, and honestly I needed to be a bit removed from the events of it before I could write it. Not to worry, dear friends; it all turns out well in the end. Again, thanks for your continued patience and for reading. The last blog will be on it's way soon. </div>

Hey kids! Fresh on the heels of my "boo hoo I'm sick again" blog from Colorado and New Mexico comes my newest installment filled with tales of two cities (wah wah) and lots of interesting goings on, as we head back to the east coast. Follow me on our journey!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Monday brought an extremely long travel day from New Mexico to LaGuardia. Thankfully we didn't have to change planes on Southwest, but it still was a lengthy flight day. I was still not feeling well, so I slept almost the entire day on the plane. Once we arrived in NYC, we had a pretty long drive to Morristown. Well, right outside of Morristown. If you recall, we played Morristown for two days last year; it was wear a friendly local stagehand tried to steal my new iPhone and another one of my packages. Ah, memories. I digress. It took us a while to get into town, and once we did I was ready to lay low for the night. Originally I had planned to take the train to NYC the next day to wander and perhaps see a show. I realized that it was in my best interest to see the doctor and to stay put. Though it was not what I wanted, it was exactly what I needed. So, I made it an early night that night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up moderately early on Tuesday to get some food and head to the doctor. I was looking forward to finding out what was going on with me once and for all. One concern I had had was that I seemed to be having the same infection over and over, leading me to believe that it had just never gone away; part of this was being prescribed the same antibiotic over and over, or at least that's what I thought. So, I was determined to get better that day. After a bite to eat, I headed to urgent care. Coincidentally, it was the same "brand" as the one I had been to recently in Kansas City. This helped when I was examined, because my suspicions were confirmed; the pills I had been on weren't working, and I had never gotten over it. So, they put me on a much stronger antibiotic, and I was on my way. That is, until I got to my rental car and the battery was dead. I freaked out for a bit, mostly because I wasn't really sure who was in town. Most of the cast and crew had all headed to the city, and I was worried that I might be stranded. After a phone call or two, I figured I would try it a few more times. After about 30 minutes, the car miraculously turned over. I drove it around for quite a while after that, and then it was time to head home and rest a bit. Later in the day I took a drive to downtown Morristown, and visited a restaurant that I had been to when we had played the town last year. After that, it was time to head home for a quiet night, and to hopefully feel much better the next day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up feeling considerably better on Wednesday, and I even got some good news (this will become important in the weeks to come). After sleeping in and just generally taking care of myself, I met up with Colte to grab some lunch and coffee. After that, I made my way downtown to pick up Gabe and Michelle at the train station, and then back to my room for rest until the show. I knew the Mayo PAC (above) all too well from our stint there last year. We made our way in early through traffic and stopped for coffee, and barely made it to our meeting by the skin of our teeth. We had a lengthy sound check that night, but we were ready to go once the curtain went up. We all had a lot of friends and family in the audience, but that didn't keep them from being a little.....well....reserved. It was still a great show though, and afterward I made my way back to my hotel to grab my stuff and high tail it with a friend to the city. My agent had contacted me for an audition the following day, and it was something I had been hoping for for quite a while. I was just glad that we were back on the east coast in time for me to be able to make it into the city in person. And, that I was feeling drastically better than the few days before. It was time to get some rest and wake up at the crack of dawn. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was midtown quite early that day, with plenty of time to kill. I needed to catch a train in the afternoon in order to make it to New Haven in time to open the show there (a very familiar feeling from my train trips to and from NYC while trying to get cast on the tour), but I had plenty of time to prepare before then. I also had plenty of time to walk around the city and sweat as though it was my full time job. Sheesh. It was damn hot that day. After a quick stop to see my agent, a slice at my favorite place on 47th and a coffee, I headed to attempt to dry off and change before I headed in for my audition. To not keep things completely covert, it was for the regional premier of Million Dollar Quartet at the Ogunquit Playhouse, about 2 hours south of my home town in Maine. And the kicker? It is going to be directed by Hunter Foster; Broadway star, Tony nominee and the original Sam Phillips on Broadway. Once the sweat stopped dripping from my brow, I tuned the spare Johnny Cash guitar from the show (thanks, Corey) and walked into the room to find Hunter and two gentlemen from Ogunquit. I played Folsom, and read one of the sides. They were extremely complimentary, and I talked to Hunter for quite a while about tour and some of our mutual friends and cast members. It went about as well as an audition could go, and I even got to catch up with some people along the way. Jimmy was also there to audition, as was our old pal for a couple weeks on the road and a veteran of all things MDQ, Johnny Kinnaird. After some great talks, I gathered my things and crept through the blistering sun and heat to make my way to Penn Station. After a brief wait there, I hopped on the train (unairconditioned car; just my luck) and made my way to New Haven to open the show that night. Because our hotel there was quite far from downtown, I ended up heading straight to the Shubert (above), one of my favorite theatres in the country. The backstage and dressing rooms had changed quite a bit, but it was still the same amazing and historic Shubert. I plunked my stuff down and promptly showered to wash off the day. I packed and repacked my things, having recovered my large bag from the loading dock (thanks to our amazing crew for having traveled it for me), and ran to get coffee before our meeting that evening. Everyone arrived from seemingly every corner of the earth, and we had our meeting and an uneventful yet productive sound check. The long commute made a few people late, but things still went off without a hitch. Opening night was...well...a bit weird. But, the show went well overall, and I was just glad to be in one of my favorite places. After the show, I had to check into the hotel for the first time; then Jake and I met up with Colte and a few of the cast at the nearby Wood n' Tap for a bite. But hell, I was tired. After the food, it was time to head to bed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I slept in on Friday before heading out with Jake for some Sonic lunch, and something we had been looking forward to for quite a while: Love and Mercy. Jake had turned me onto the film well before it had been released, and I was pretty excited to finally see the story of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys on film. The wait was worth it, and the movie certainly did not disappoint. We talked about it for quite a while afterward, and then I was off to my room for some chill time before the show that evening. Colte had left us for the weekend, so Jimmy joined us onstage for a great show that evening, and the cast also did a talkback with audience members from the stage after the show; I always love doing those. The boys and I headed home, and once there we all headed to the outdoor patio for a cast and crew BBQ and corn hole tournament. We all had fun mingling for much of the night, sampling some great BBQ and just generally having a great time. Corey had some fun with Mary's puppy (above), and we all hung out as a group for quite a while before it was finally time to turn in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday brought a busy day as usual, with two shows and quite a bit in between. My parents arrived from Maine that afternoon, so they met me at the theatre as I was starting laundry and we headed to get some dinner at a lovely Italian restaurant, Tarry Lounge, before the show that night. They had seen nearly every performance I had ever done in New Haven, so I was glad to have them back in town to catch two more before the end of the tour. I have to say....though I love New Haven and the Shubert, the audiences for the weekend proved to be a bit lackluster. Thought it was disappointing, I was still glad to be there and enjoy that time with everyone and especially my parents. After the show that night I spent much of the evening with my folks, and then joined some of the boys for a room hang and great conversation with Gabe, Bryan and Frace. Then, slumber land. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last two shows on Sunday went much like the prior 3, and my parents and I grabbed some great food at Box 63 after the matinee. They again saw the show that night, and did their best to liven up the crowd. The traffic on the way home was brutal; had it not been for Jake's craving for some food, we would have been stuck in traffic for nearly an hour like most of the cast and even my parents. Once they got in, I spent the evening catching up with my parents, and then decided to make it an early night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, I'm now CLOSE to being caught up! Only two more weeks remain in my recap of tour events, so I hope you will tune in for what proves to be an eventful end of tour. Thanks as always for reading, and I hope y'all are happy and healthy!!!</div>

Hello everyone. At this point in time, I am almost a month behind on my blogging. The last few weeks have certainly been a challenge for the cast and crew, and personally I have had a bit of a rough time. But, without too much foreshadowing, I will attend to the business at hand: the events of our week in Colorado and New Mexico. Here we go!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a late call on Monday morning for our flight from Tulsa into Denver, with an impeding drive to Colorado Springs. It was really a painless travel day, and we were settled into our hotel in the late afternoon. I spent much of the day catching up with my parents, and looking out on our beautiful surroundings (above); there have been some things going on with my family of late, so it was important to me to have the time to catch up and get all of the necessary information. I got a quick dinner nearby, and ran into some of the cast and crew at a local establishment before heading to my room to chill. I ventured down to the outdoor pool with a few people that evening, including our very own Lee Ferris who was joining us for the week to understudy Gabe, with Bradley having left us and Skye recently being bumped up to a double cover. It was not only great to see him, but to be able to catch up with him for a while. I opted to make it an early night, and left the rest of the boys and gals to their own devices. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had quite a few things I wanted to get done on Tuesday, so I ventured out early in hopes of accomplishing some errands, getting lunch and coffee. Once I was done, I decided to take the short drive to The Garden Of The Gods (above), a gorgeous park filled with hiking trails and amazing rock formations. I drove around for quite a while, hopping out of the rental car at every scenic overlook to snap shots of my surroundings. Following a few hours of that, I headed back to the hotel and got stuck in traffic because of an accident ahead. I got home with more than enough time to chill before the boys and I would need to head to the show that evening. Jake had the week off, which meant that Skye would be joining us on stage as Elvis for the entire week. In addition, Aly would be joining us as Dyanne for the evening. It marked the first time the two of them had performed the show together (above), so that added a nice twist to things. We made our way to the Pikes Peak Center (above) for the first of two shows in Colorado Springs, and though the audience seemed a bit reserved, it turned out to be a great show. Following the show I met up with some of the crew, albeit by coincidence, at the Chik Fil A next to our hotel. Following a bite of what we like to call "hate chicken", I went back to my room for a low key night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I slept in quite late on Wednesday, and once I got up it was definitely time for some Starbucks and a bite to eat. I spent much of the day wandering around Manitou Springs (above), as well as running a few more errands before heading back to my hotel room for some R and R before our last show in town. The show went much better than the first, and then it was time to unwind a bit in Frace's room. After a terrible haircut, Gabe did his best impression of Stefan from Saturday Night Live for us; I think we all needed a good laugh with what would be a busy rest of the week ahead. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a very early morning on Thursday, as we had a sizable amount of ground to cover to get to Albuquerque on time. In the middle of the day we made what would be one of our more interesting lunch stops in Las Vegas.....New Mexico. I opted for a quick couple of New York style pizza slices before taking a few pictures of the tiny downtown (above) and heading back to the bus to complete the rest of our journey. We arrived in ABQ with very little time to spare before we had to head to the theatre that night. After a long check in and a bit of time to sit before heading out, the boys and I made our way to Popejoy Hall (above) on the campus of UNM. We were very much looking forward to being there for the rest of the week, and the response we got solidified that thought. Following the show I went home and grabbed a quick drink at the bar before heading to bed. Bryan and I had a very early day coming up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We woke up at the crack of dawn on Friday for a whole slew of press (above); radio, tv, and multiple stops for each. It was the first time that Bryan and I had been paired to do press together, and I have to say it went extremely well. However, I started to not feel the greatest during the day. After all, it had only been two weeks since the last time I was sick.....sweet sassy molassy. I was getting pretty tired of the cycle. Once we were finished in the mid morning, I went home and did my best to sleep as much as possible, which was easier said than done. I did, however, wake up starving. So I walked next door to the Range Cafe, which came very highly recommended by our press rep. After a great southwestern club, I went back to my room to chill for the rest of the early evening before the boys and I headed off to the theatre. The show went extremely well that night, and after the show I met up with some of the cast and crew in the hotel restaurant before turning in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday brought two shows, and I started feeling worse. It was starting to get very frustrating; I could almost count on being sick every two weeks at that point. I made it through both shows extremely well though, so I guess that was positive at least. I opted to head back to the hotel and chill between, and after the evening show I did much the same. I felt bad because though the bar was filled with insane people that weren't with our group, I never really got to say goodbye to Lee before he left. Oh well. I know I will see him soon, as it is never really goodbye in our business. I also felt bad because I really wanted to see a bit more of what ABQ had to offer. Aside from the Breaking Bad motorhome tour I wanted to take (or at the very least, just get the shooting locations from Google and head to them on my own), it just seemed like there were some cool things to do in town. Alas, taking care of myself and resting so that I could do the show was much more important. Thus, I was a bit of a hermit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday was another busy day with two shows, and what I was experiencing as far as sinus pressure and not feeling well was coming to a head. Frace was on as Sam for both shows (though I wouldn't have called out anyway), and both shows went extremely well; it was a nice way to close out the week. I tried to get seen at an urgent care in between, but no dice. I opted to get a salad and soup at Panera instead, and just try and get some rest before the evening show. Following both shows, I hung out for a little bit with people that evening, but as I wasn't feeling the greatest and we had an early morning flight to New Jersey, I opted to make it an early night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sorry this week's blog was so overdue, and not all that exciting dear readers. I will be working tirelessly to catch you up on the last few weeks of tour, with all of the news good and bad. Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for the next installment! </div>

Hello everyone! What do ya now? My blog is long overdue. Again. Par for the course. But, it was a great week with some really nice weather in Tulsa. So, here are the highlights:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a moderately long drive ahead of us on Monday as we made our way from Kansas City back to Oklahoma. The crew joined us on the trip, and after a few hours (which I slept through as usual), a lunch stop at a mall and some more driving, we landed at our hotel. Thankfully it was only a few feet from the venue, and also in a really nice area of downtown with plenty of bars and food options around. After settling in, I opted to eat at the hotel restaurant, as it was raining pretty heavily outside. I had a really nice meal there, and after hanging with Frace and a few other people I decided to head back to my room early. I have quite a few movies that I have purchased but have been waiting to stream, and that night I decided it was time to watch American Sniper. It was well worth the wait, and I was glad to have knocked another movie off my list. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a late start on Tuesday, I walked all over the downtown area taking in the sights, and taking a few pictures. The area I wandered the most was called the Blue Dome District, so named for the blue dome (above) that still stands in the area. There were some great shops down there, featuring music and wares from lots of local celebrities including J.D. McPherson. I window shopped for quite a while before heading into a local deli for a great turkey sandwich. I made my way across town to check out the local minor league ballpark, and even stopped in to check out James E. McNellie's, a bar we would be heading to for a special occasion later in the week. I went back to my hotel to chill for a bit before heading down to get a coffee in the great coffee shop in the lobby, and then making my way across the hotel's courtyard (see pictures above) to our venue, The Tulsa Performing Arts Center (above). It was a really nice and modern venue, and we were very much looking forward to being there for the full week. We all had swanky private dressing rooms, and the crew had a very smooth and quick load in which always puts everyone in a great mood. Opening night went extremely well, and if the reaction we got from the crowd was any indication of what the week would be like, we were VERY happy to be in Tulsa. Following the show I opted to go to the hotel bar for some food and a drink with Jake and Colte before turning in for the night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got off to a late start on Wednesday; sleeping in and bumming around my room for quite a while before heading for lunch at the amazing local Mexican restaurant, El Guapo. I hadn't had a chimichanga in quite a while, and had been hoping to find a place to get a really good one; I was not disappointed. And, there chips and queso blanco really made the difference. After a fantastic lunch, I wandered around a bit again before heading back to the hotel to chill for the rest of the day. Another great show followed that evening, and while there Corey asked me to be a part of a reading for a new script he and Em had been working on. So, after grabbing a bite at the hotel after the show, Gabe, Frace, Bryan, Jimmy, Em, Corey and Dani headed up to Jeff's amazing suite (complete with grand piano), to help them hear their words out loud. It was a really great time; a very intelligent and thought out script, mirroring some of the recent racial and police enforcement issues that have been plaguing our country as of late. Following a great reading, I made my way to bed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thursday morning came very early for me, as I embarked on some early press with Gabe, and through the course of us doing a few interviews, we did easily one of the best radio interviews either of us had ever done. Once back at the hotel, I climbed in bed and slept for most of the day. After laying low and trying to chill for much of the day, I made my way to the theatre that night for another great show. Following that, the cast and crew met at the nearby James E. McNellie's for what I have come to call "Crew Appreciation Night". I started organizing it on our first tour because of our tireless and amazingly hardworking crew. Though all of our crews have been great, I can easily say that no crew has deserved the cast's praise more than our current crew. We had a really great night talking to different groups of people, and the folks at McNellie's were really on top of it; keeping a detailed tab for the crew, and not missing a beat with ordering food and drinks for everyone. After the festivities, some people headed to the local dive bar Arnie's for a bit afterward. I was ready to turn in, so I opted to head home before most folks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Friday brought some pretty heavy and awful rain, so I barely left my room for the day. The only time I went out was to get food at the deli, and then returned to my room to stay warm and dry. The show that night was probably our best yet, with an audience to match. Later in the evening I headed to Arnie's and assumed I would be there by myself, but was shortly joined by Lou, Briggs and Anthony for the rest of the night. After a great evening with the boys, it was time to rest and prepare for the double weekend. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday was a usual busy double day, but both shows went amazingly well. I was pretty tired after the matinee, so I opted to head to my room and nap for a bit. After an equally great evening show I was invited to embark on a little adventure that evening. It was Justin's 25th birthday, and a few people were heading out to a local bowling alley to celebrate with him. I had already been invited out by a few members of the crew, so I joined them for a quick bite at El Guapo that evening. Then Rachael, Anthony, Briggs, Mary, Andrew and I headed to the local improv theatre for a shadow cast showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show. For those that have never partaken in this ritual, you sit and watch the movie with a group of people, shouting out audience participation words and phrases while watching a cast of "actors" act out the scenes on screen. I have to say, I have done it a couple of times, and this cast was particularly awful. We did have a great time together though, so the night was not a waste. The movie ended quite late, so it was time to head home afterward and prepare for yet another double. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another two great shows followed on Sunday. We were all pretty blown away by the folks in Tulsa, and though we had gotten restless with our out of character week sit down, we certainly weren't ready to leave the good people of Tulsa behind. In between shows I got an amazing pizza (locally grown mushrooms, fresh mozzarella and garlic, and extra virgin olive oil) at STG before heading home to chill in the short break before the evening show. Following our closing performance there, I headed back to my room to chill for quite a bit. Later on, Gabe and I headed back to Arnie's for so much needed one on one buddy time. We were out a bit late, but ended up heading home with more than enough time to get some rest before our travel day the next day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a great and eventful week in Tulsa, and I was so glad that it worked out for us to show our appreciation for the crew, which was WAY overdue. It was sad to say goodbye to the amazing audiences there, but thus is our life out here on the road. I hope you enjoyed this week's installment, and there are many more little bits and pieces of excitement headed your way soon! Stay tuned for news from our next week of adventures! </div>

Hey everyone! I hope this blog finds you all well! After a week of nasty weather in OKC and a week off in every corner of the universe, the cast, crew and I were very much looking forward to getting back to tour, and in Florida no less. So, here's what we were up to this week:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My parents woke up early with me on that Sunday so that they could drive me to the airport to rejoin tour. I had only had the previous day at home, but it was at least nice to be there for a bit with them and to see my brother. I had a pretty easy travel day, and after leaving at about 8:45 AM, I was in Orlando in the mid afternoon, ready to meet up with Corey and Briggs to drive to our hotel. There was a bit of a problem with getting our van, but after a bit of time it was figured out and the boys and I were on our way. It was nearly 2 hours to the hotel, so we talked quite a bit along the way about our layoffs and also about our plans for our off days in the coming week. We got to our hotel in the Villages in the late afternoon, and after I grabbed a quick bite and talked to my parents, the three of us went out on some errands. It was great to be in the warmth and sunshine of Florida, and so I spent much of the early evening wandering around the odd complex that is the Villages, as well as laying low in my room. Later on, Rachael invited me over for some pizza and laughs with her, Briggs and Mary. The highlight of the night was when the ladies made me do all of my impressions of cast and crew members....most notably my Briggs with Briggs in the room...gulp. It was a great little hang, but I was pretty tired from the travel day and thus I decided to make it an early night once we went our separate ways. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I opted to sleep in a bit on Monday, and used much of the day to relax, while still getting out and about to see my surroundings. I have to say....I know that the Villages is a very popular retirement destination, but it is definitely not my sorta place. That said, the area was quite nice, and there were quite a few food options within walking distance. I got quite a few things done during the day before walking the short distance from the hotel to the Sharon L. Morse Performing Arts Center (above). As I walked around the complex, I was surprised to find that it was actually a converted church. A beautifully renovated space though, and we were very much looking forward to 2 shows there. The crowd was more than enthusiastic that night, and thus we had a great opening night. Following the show, quite a few people in the cast and crew (as well as the local crew) gathered at the Gator sports bar within feet of our hotel for some wings, drinks and conversation. After being there for quite a while, I opted to head to bed as I knew I couldn't sleep the day away on Tuesday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Colte, Jake and I checked out of our hotel at noon on Tuesday, as we would be heading to Orlando to check into a resort that night after the show. The three of us ran errands for much of the afternoon around the Villages and grabbed some lunch together before heading back to park at the theatre and kill some time before the show. Jake and I got word that the Temptations had just moved into our hotel, and so we went by (like middle school girls in search of Justin Bieber) to see if we could run into them and offer them tickets to our show. No dice. But, we still had fun wandering around the halls trying to run into them. After our star struck mishap, we walked around the Villages and grabbed some food before it was time to be at the theatre for the show that night. Another great show followed, and the three of us jumped in the van and headed for Orlando. The hour and a half drive seemed to fly by, and once we arrived we were famished, so we stopped in at Steak n' Shake for a bite to eat before heading to our resort hotel. And man were we taken aback. Jeffrey had booked the resort for quite a few of us, and we were more than pleased with what we saw when we arrived. Jake, Colte and I had a massive two bedroom suite to share for the two nights we would be in Orlando, even though we wouldn't be there all that much. The boys and I stayed up pretty late that night, and then it was off to bed in anticipation of the parks the next day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up quite early on Wednesday morning, ready and raring to go to the Disney parks, and to take Jake for the first time! I know most people think I'm crazy, but I always do all 4 Disney parks in one day; it's just the way I have found I like to do it. It means a lot of walking, and about a 13 hour day, but it also means you get to see so much more of everything. So, with Jake in tow, we headed all over the place, taking in as much Disney as we could (see multiple pictures above), starting with Animal Kingdom, then Epcot, followed by Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and then back to the Magic Kingdom to finish the evening. I was really impressed that Jake kept up with my furious pace, and I really think he enjoyed the whole day. I had built up my favorite ride, the Tower of Terror, to him because of his love of the Twilight Zone, and I was pleased when he adopted it as his favorite ride as well. Thankfully we got to ride it a couple of times before the night was over. After a long day out and about, we headed back to our hotel shortly before midnight to greet Colte, talk about the day, and eventually pass out in anticipation of the travel day to follow. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We again checked out at noon from our Orlando hotel, knowing that we had a bit of time to kill before heading to Tampa to fly with the cast and crew to Kansas City. The three of us decided to head to Downtown Disney to walk around for a while and to get some lunch before the drive. We ended up heading to Wolfgang Puck's for lunch, and then we went our separate ways to wander a bit. I couldn't believe how much the area had changed in the few short years since I had been down there. After some window shopping and such, the boys and I made our way from Orlando to the Tampa airport, dropping off the rental car and meeting up with everyone in the cast and crew to make our direct flight in the early evening to Kansas City. Once in, we made the short drive to the Hotel Phillips, one I had been to before, though not when we played KC in Year 1. Once settled, I was ready to rest for the night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As seemed to be the usual for me, I had started not feeling well yet again. I had early press by myself that morning, and felt progressively worse as time went on. After getting back to the hotel in the late morning after a few radio and tv interviews, I decided to head to urgent care to get myself checked out. I was in and out pretty quickly, and was just told I had a bit of a virus. With some medicine in tow, I headed back to my hotel to sleep the day away. I was feeling a bit better that evening as the boys and I made our way to the Starlight Theatre (above) on the outskirts of Kansas City. It is a pretty massive complex, and we were astonished at just how many seats the place had; something like 12,000 I think. And they do shows rain or shine....this comes in a bit later. So, after a sound check in front of quite a few audience members and meeting Jake's good friend Cliff, we made our way on stage for opening night. The crowd was quite large considering the venue, and were extremely responsive to us. We thought it might be hard to hear them with nothing to reverberate their applause, but they were with us the whole time. Following the show they threw us a lovely opening night party in a courtyard adjacent to the theatre. It was really only the cast and a few crew members, but we all had a great time enjoying some wonderful food and conversations. I wasn't feeling the greatest, so Jake and I opted to head home early and get some rest before the onslaught of weekend shows. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got to sleep in on Saturday and was feeling quite a bit better. I made my way to Latte Land close by for some coffee before heading to Joe's BBQ with Rachael, Anthony and Mary. I had no idea what to expect, but they swore it was some of the best BBQ around. After waiting for quite a while to make it into the gas station surroundings, we opted to order our food to go, which made the wait much quicker. We took our food back to the hotel and chopped while talking a bit of shop on the hotel's mezzanine level. We were all pretty tired after eating so much, so I adjourned to my room to nap before the night's show. The show that night was pretty rough; the crowd was a bit smaller due to the pouring rain, and I think they were all focused on how soaked they were getting during our show. They clearly enjoyed it, but were a bit preoccupied. I can't imagine sitting in the pouring rain for 2 hours for a show. Regardless, the show came own and we made our way back to the hotel in the rain, and I went to bed early yet again after getting some pizza. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday was much the same; a dreary and rainy day. But, I took the opportunity to head to the nearby Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (above) to take the tour, and then out to Kauffman Stadium (also above), home of the Kansas City Royals. I had a great day just walking around and taking pictures before heading back to the hotel for a little rest before our final show that night. The show also marked our official goodbye to Bradley, who would be leaving us that evening to head to Branson, MO to start rehearsals as Carl Perkins in their upcoming production of MDQ. After a tearful "Happy Trails" (below) we went onstage for yet another rainy performance. Thankfully it was a bit less rainy than the night before, and the show went much better. After that, I headed home to chill for a while, and then ended up meeting some of the crew at a local bar, The Quaff for a bit before turning into a pumpkin that evening. </div>

Well, there you have our eventful week! Up next is our fantastic week sit down in Tulsa, so make sure to stay tuned for that in just a few days! I hope this finds you all happy and healthy! </div>

Hey everyone! It's me, your often tardy but always diligent tour blogger! We had a whirlwind (no pun intended) week in Oklahoma City amidst some bad weather and a whole slew of other things. So, here's what happened!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We had a bit of a long day on Monday, as we made the drive to St. Louis to fly out. We had a moderate layover in Dallas before making the rest of the way to Oklahoma City in the late evening. It was a short drive from the airport, but we got in a bit later in the evening. After settling in, I took the short yet somewhat treacherous walk to an oyster house nearby (yes, I know, why would I eat seafood in a land locked area....) for a great meal and a cocktail before heading back to my room to lay low for the rest of the evening. Thankfully, the weather had been pretty good up until that point. But it was all about to change....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The weather Tuesday started to turn a bit, but it was actually quite nice for much of the day. I opted to stay close to the hotel for much of the day, only venturing out for a bite to eat in the late afternoon, and a quick trip to the mall for a couple of things. That's when the rain started, and didn't seem like it was ever going to let up. The boys and I made our way to the Civic Center (above) for opening night that night, and made our way through the wet weather. But, the people of OKC braved the weather and gave us an amazingly warm welcome that night. It also happened to be the 100th show of this leg of tour, so that was reason to celebrate in and of itself! The crowd and theatre were great, and we were very much looking forward to our week there. We braved the pouring rain to make it to our car, and promptly headed back to the hotel to stay dry. Some people had had plans to go out for Cinco De Mayo, but the rain put a damper on those plans. Most people opted to stay in and chill at the hotel bar for a bit. My friend Nancy arrived that night, and after she got in we braved the weather and went to Edna's, a little dive bar close by to catch up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Scott Weinstein was in town and had caught the show on opening night, so the cast all gathered at the theatre on Wednesday afternoon to go through his moderate notes, and to clean a few things on stage. We expected to be there for much of the day, and instead found we were released early, and the Thunderstudies were able to move their run to the late afternoon as opposed to the following day. Which meant though a few of us thought we would have to be at the theatre during the day on Thursday, we now had it off! Jake and I had been eyeing a record store on the way to the theatre called Trolley Stop Record Shop; and because we got out early, we opted to stop in for a bit before heading home. Boy howdy. I'm glad/not glad we did. We were in there for quite a while, and in the process we both ended up spending quite a bit of money for some pretty amazing stuff. A lot of it was unorganized, but the stuff that was was in fantastic condition. I bought quite a few original Sun 45's, as well as a few Johnny Cash LP's, and a slew of other things. Our pockets nearly empty, we headed back to the hotel. Not long after we got there, we started getting alerts on our phones that there were major tornado watches and a lot of rain and lightning headed our way. The worst part of the storm was supposed to hit as we would be driving to the theatre, so a few of us opted to head to the theatre a couple of hours early to just chill and wait out the weather. All of our dressing rooms had tv's in them, so we were all glued to the Weather Channel for much of the early evening. As the show approached, we got word that there would be an automatic hold for the audience, meaning our show would start about 20 minutes late. There were definitely a few holes in the audience, but who can blame people for not leaving home in the middle of a tornado warning? The show went pretty well, but it was easy to see that the audience was quite distracted with what the weather was doing outside, and the fact that you could hear thunder and hale inside the theatre. All was well until we started I Walk The Line; I got about 2 verses in, and BJ came over the microphone announcing that we were pausing the show, and that we needed to leave stage immediately. The cast and crew made our way downstairs to the reinforced and tornado safe basement. We were only there for a short time before we were told that we had been cleared to head back to the stage, and we would be raising the curtain to start at the top of the song again. The crowd roared as the curtain rose, and you could tell they were right there with us as we continued the show. Aside from the audience being quiet for a bit, the show went quite well overall. We made our way out of the theatre through flooded streets and torrential downpour to crawl our way back to the hotel. Once there, no one had any plans to leave again. A few of us gathered at the hotel bar for a bit, before heading our separate ways. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Jake and I had a bit of early radio press on Thursday morning, and thankfully the rain had held off for it. We made our way around one building, doing interviews for a few different DJ's and radio formats. Once we were done, I opted to head back to my room and grab a nap before doing anything else that day. Jake ended up joining Nancy and I for a bite to eat at Cheesecake Factory nearby, and then we headed downtown to visit the Oklahoma City Memorial and Museum (above). I really didn't know what to expect, but the memorial was quite breathtaking and stirring. It's hard to believe that that happened so long ago. The thing that affected me the most was a statue across the street from the memorial with the phrase printed below, "And Jesus Wept" (above). We walked around the grounds for quite a while before heading to Bricktown, a popular area nearby with a lot of shops, restaurants, and the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark (above). I took a bunch of pictures of all of the above, including quite a few of everything to do with Mickey Mantle for my mother. After a stop in the team shop and a coffee, we made our way back to the hotel just as the rain began to fall again. The boys and I headed to the show that evening, and thanks to the lack of tornados in the area, we had another great show like opening night. The crew had organized a trip to Dave and Busters afterward, and thankfully the rain had stopped enough for us to make our way there without incident. We all had a great time hanging out and playing arcade games that night, and then it was time to head back home for the evening. </div>

I had been noticing some very strange and bothersome bites all over my arms, chest and hands while in OKC, and on Friday morning it all came to a head. I noticed a bunch of dead bugs in the bathroom and on the air conditioning unit, and my bites were getting worse. So, I asked to have my room changed, and after doing so I headed to urgent care nearby to get checked out. I was there for what seemed like hours, waiting to be seen and finally get something to take care of it. Apparently there had been a lot of that type of thing lately, and I was given a prescription for a steroid and a cream to take care of it. How annoying. The rain started, of course, as I was waiting to fill my prescription. After a bit of downtime, I brought Jake to Walmart, got my medicine, and we headed through the awful rain to the show. Yet another amazing crowd braved the weather, and showed us what OKC crowds were made of. I headed back to Edna's with Nancy that evening before heading to bed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Saturday brought a typical busy two show day, but before all of it, Jake and I headed to FedEx to ship out the ridiculous amount of records we had bought in two trips to Trolley Stop that week. We narrowly made it back to pick up Gabe for the matinee, but we did make it in time. Between shows we headed to the mall so that Jake could get a few things, and I could get some insight into some computer/tablet/phone communication problems I was having. After it was cleared up, it was time to head back home for a bit before the evening show. The bad weather continued, as did the amazing crowds in OKC. After the show we hung out at the hotel again, and ended up grabbing a bit of food at IHOP afterward. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Sunday was another busy double day, but thankfully the weather held up. Both shows went amazingly well, particularly the evening show, and in between I took Jake to Freebird World Burrito nearby for a late lunch. And then....we made the decision to head back to Trolley Stop one last time. That man must have thought we were crazy. I would bet that the money Jake, Patrick and I spent in their will keep him in business for a month. Following the evening show, the cast met at Republic nearby for a bit of a celebration and going away party.....but that can wait until the official news in my next blog. </div>

Because of all the bad weather that week in OKC, flight situations were a mess. Nancy had trouble getting out a few days before, and the majority of the cast and crew awoke to find that their flights were either rebooked, cancelled or delayed. My second flight ended up being rebooked automatically, and once I made it through the madhouse at check in, I was all set. I got to NYC quite a bit later than I planned, and without one of my bags to boot. I had been looking for a place to stay in the city for layoff, and our first stage manager, David Lober, who is now the Production Stage Manager for Matilda on Broadway was nice enough to offer his place, as he was going to be in New Haven for the week. The week was a bit of whirlwind; I didn't sleep a whole lot due to the stress of my missing bag; it was finally returned, but missing a wheel. I got to see Billy, The Jam, Corey, Gabe and Michelle and even Levi when I went to catch Billy's gig at the 11th Street Bar and Grill on Tuesday. I also stopped in to say hello to the Prather folks who were there doing auditions for the upcoming non Equity national tour of our show. It was fun catching up with them, having some amazing food, and even seeing a couple of shows! I decided to catch the hilarious Something Rotten with Prather alum Marisha Wallace, as well as the stunningly beautiful An American In Paris. The week truly went by too fast, and before I knew it I was on my way home to Maine to spend the day with my parents before heading back to tour the next day. I almost needed a break from my break. </div>

Well kids, that's all for this week's blog. Stay tuned for news from Florida and Kansas City, as well as some breaking news within the cast. I hope this finds you well, and that you are enjoying the lovely weather wherever you are!!</div>

Hey everyone! My apologies for another overdue blog, but as I have said a million times, it is busy out here. This week's blog tells the tale of a week in the moderately distant past; of Blues legends, Arkansas nights, and visits with good friends. Without further ado, here are the events of the week. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
After our great day off in Memphis, the cast headed to Cleveland, MS on Tuesday with an impending show that night. It wasn't too long a drive, and though I was not feeling the greatest (which seems to becoming a trend....), I was excited for the events of the afternoon precluding our show. Colin Escott (Sun historian, musical know-it-all, and the writer of our script as well as the amazing book about Sun, Good Rockin' Tonight) had contacted Gabe about bringing him and a couple of other people on a bit of an early American music pilgrimage not far from our hotel in Cleveland, and he asked Jake and I to tag along. So we hopped in Colin's SUV as he drove us to seemingly the middle of nowhere for us to take in some musical history. First we stopped at Po' Monkeys (above), a jook joint featuring the best of the best blues musicians from all around the Delta since the mid 40's. A crazy little place that is apparently only open "when somethin's going on". We then headed a little further away from the hotel to visit what is widely regarded as the birthplace of the blues, The Dockery Plantation (above). It was here that legendary blues man Charlie Patton honed his skills while farming the land, with a slew of other musicians that changed the face of the blues, and thus were instrumental in creating what we now know as Rock n' Roll. We talked to the caretaker for quite a while as he pointed out all of the places where Charlie and others honed their craft, and he gave us more information than I could have imagined about the history of the area, the plantation and the birth of an art form. After a great afternoon, the four of us headed back to the hotel for a little bit of downtime before our only show in Cleveland that night. We headed to the theatre that night, and greeted Frace and Jimmy who were joining us on stage that night at the Bologna Performing Arts Center (above). The show went off without a hitch, and the folks of Cleveland, MS were definitely ready for our type of show. Colin and his wife were in attendance, and it was really nice to catch up with them a bit after not having seen them for so long. After the show I laid pretty low in my hotel room, as I anticipated the long drive to Arkansas the next day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The drive to Mountain Home, AR took much of the day on Wednesday, so when we got in it was time to lay low a bit. I headed to the nearby Sonic for dinner that evening after driving around trying to find a place, and following some time in my room I headed to the Arena Bar within walking distance of the hotel to join the crew and some of the cast. We played arcade games, had a beer or two and hung out for quite a while before adjourning to the hotel for some rest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Thursday was a bit stressful for me; I had hit a bit of a deadline to tape an audition for my agent, and as I had mentioned before, I hadn't been feeling well for much of the week before. So, it was now or never. While trying to go over my sides and music, as well as enlist the help of Frace and Jimmy to read with me and tape, I was also fielding phone calls from my agent (turning down 3 jobs in the course of a 10 minute phone call is never easy), and taking Jake to get his hair cut and for lunch. Sheesh. It was a busy afternoon. Once my audition was taped, it took forever to upload, edit, and subsequently send it out, so it had me a bit frustrated. Once finished, I jumped in the car with Jake to head to a nearby resale store, Flashback, to shop for some clothes and records quickly before we headed to work. I of course found a couple of Cash records, and the two of us jetted back to the hotel to pick up Gabe for another one off show that night. Brad went on for the closest he would get to a hometown crowd that night, and Frace was on for Bryan again, who had taken a couple of personal days. Though the space was a bit strange (above), the show that night at the Vada Sheid Performing Arts Center went extremely well. After the show, I invited the boys and m'am to my room for a viewing of My Father and the Man In Black, the documentary made by my friend and son of Johnny's longtime manager, Jonathan Holiff (he met all of us last year at rehearsals in NYC, if you recall). After the movie and a moderately late night, it was time for some rest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We had a nice late bus call on Friday for our drive to the first of two Springfields of the week, Springfield, MO. We arrived at our hotel in the early afternoon, and I spent much of the afternoon chilling in my hotel room. The boys and I jumped in the car that evening (our hotel was a bit in the middle of nowhere) to grab a bite to eat and some much needed caffeination before making our way to the Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts (above) for the first of 3 shows in town. Bryan was back for the show that evening, Bradley joined us as Carl again and it went extremely well; the crowd was not as enthusiastic as the prior two towns perhaps, but they were still great. I went back to the hotel after the show with the boys, and after getting sucked into a few things on my computer and on tv, I headed to Patrick's room where he, Jake, Colte and I listened to some of our recently procured records. We were up pretty late, so I headed back to my room for some sleep in the early morning. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Thought moderately busy with two shows, my Saturday was pretty low key. Jake got a bit of an allergic attack with some of the allergens in the air, so Skye was on for both show that day, doing a great job as usual. I opted to head back to the hotel by my lonesome between shows for a short nap, and then grabbed a nice salad at Panera before the show that evening; all three shows in MO went quite well, and after a quiet night by myself at the hotel that night, it was time to head to bed before another travel day into a show on Sunday. </div>

It was a bit of a drive to Springfield, IL that day, but we did have quite a bit of time to rest at the hotel. I had been looking forward to our return engagement at the Sangamon Auditorium (above) for quite some time. Not only had the audience been INSANE there the year prior (we were booked for this year's show that same night), but I had quite a few friends coming to the show. Due to our close proximity to Bloomington, it would be one of the first times a few of my professors from IWU would have the opportunity to see me perform since I graduated 14 years ago. The boys and I headed to the theatre that evening, a bit tired from the week but ready to do one last great show. And, as they had been before, the audience blew us away. It was truly one of the best shows and audiences we had had in quite some time. Afterward, I met up with Nancy Loitz (head of the School of Theatre Arts during my days there) and her daughter Zoe (who was probably 4 the last time I saw her), my dear friend Maggie (above) who graduated a few years ahead of me, and Jean Kerr (above) who taught me just about everything I know about movement, dance and stage combat. It was really heartwarming to see and talk to them, and though Nancy and Zoe needed to leave, Maggie and Jean planned to join the cast and I for some live music downtown. On my way out of the theatre, I ran into a van of folks from Bloomington who desperately wanted to meet the IWU grad in the show. We talked for quite a while, and it turned out that a few of them had actually seen me in shows at school. Pretty crazy. I headed to Bar None with Gabe to catch Big Sandy and the Fly Rite Boys, a great rockabilly band that Patrick knew personally and had played drums for. It just so happened that they were in town at the same time as us, so it was pretty cool that we got to catch their set. I got to catch up a bit more with Maggie and Jean before they had to make their way back to Bloomington, and the boys and I stayed for the rest of Sandy's set, after which I of course bought all of their merch. We then headed back to the hotel for the impending travel day to Oklahoma City the next day. </div>

Another week is crossed off our schedule, and each blog I write brings us one week closer to the end of tour; a crazy thought. I hope you enjoyed this week's installment, and please tune in for tornado fun and bad weather (and bugs), and a whole lot more from Oklahoma City next time around! </div>

Hey, y'all! Welcome to the latest late installment of my blog! As usual, it's been a busy couple of weeks out here on the road, and this one was no exception. I am writing this blog from the confines of our first stage manager's apartment (David Lober, who is now the PSM for Matilda on Broadway) in New York City. Time for a little layoff before the final stretch of tour commences. It's crazy to think that in just a few short weeks it will all come to and end. But, until then, I have plenty to catch you up on. Here's what transpired this week:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
After our nice stint in the state of Colorado, we made the long trek to Texas on Monday. An hour and a half drive to Colorado Springs, followed by a couple of flights to Dallas and finally Houston, and then a 2 hour drive to Lufkin. We were all pretty tired once we got in, but thankfully we had some time before it got too late. After laying low for quite a bit, I joined some of the cast and crew around the fire pit at our hotel, before I decided it was time to finally get some shut eye. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I woke up nice and late on Tuesday morning, and spent much of the day laying low inside. The weather had turned quite warm, so I went out in search of food, coffee and some essentials at Walmart, all within walking distance of the theatre. Following that, I spent much of the day laying low and waiting for my friend Sonia to arrive from Austin; it just so happened she was there on vacation from NYC, and so she made the trip out to Lufkin for the evening to see our show! It was great catching up with her for a bit, but then it was time for me and the boys to head to the show. The boys and I headed to the Temple Theatre (above) for the first of two shows in town, and before the show we were able to wish Laura a very happy birthday! The show went amazingly well in Lufkin that night, and following a successful opening the cast and crew decided to have a BBQ at the hotel, in the parking lot where the crew bus was parked. The beer and wine flowed, charred mammal flesh and seared fruits and vegetables were consumed; all in all, it was a nice night for the cast, crew and even our truck drivers to get together and let go a bit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Wednesday also brought another laid back day, but I did do a few productive things. I got a nice sushi lunch before heading to Best Buy to find a new laptop bag; my trusty black pinstriped one had started to fall apart, and it was honestly just too big for my new MacBook. So, I walked out with exactly the bag I wanted and headed home to transfer all of my goods. Then I spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing before our last show in Lufkin that night. After a great closing show, I ventured to Buffalo Wild Wings (man am I getting sick of chains....) with Gabe, Jeffrey and Justin for a bite. When we got back, I invited Gabe and Jeff over to watch a documentary I had been dangling in front of Gabe for quite a while, Rockabilly Legends. The documentary as a whole is quite good, but I wanted to show Gabe this one particular interview with Carl Perkins toward the end of his life. After a late night and some great entertainment, it was time to rest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We made our way to Shreveport the next day, and thankfully we had quite a bit of time to chill in our rooms once we got in. It was a short drive with a late start, so that gave us a bit more time to sleep and not stress too much about the travel day. I had been looking forward to our short stint in Shreveport, as it meant we would be able to take a trip to the home of the Louisiana Hayride (above), The Municipal Auditorium. The boys and I headed to the theatre a bit early that night so we would be able to see the place, and after wandering for a bit and taking it all in, we headed to the Strand Theatre (above) for our only show that night. What a gorgeous old theatre. The crowd in Shreveport definitely came to rock that night, and we even had a special guest in our midst, as we learned shortly before curtain. Estelle Brown (above with Jake) had been a member of the Sweet Inspirations, the backing group for Elvis for quite a number of years. Jake got to meet her afterwards, and hear tales of her time performing with the King. All in all, it had been a successful day. Following that, a few of us headed to the Rockin' Rodeo bar near the hotel for a bit of fun and karaoke. Then, it was off to slumberland. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Friday brought another travel day to Little Rock, AR, and I was not feeling well. I usually only get sick about once every 8 months, but it seems as of late I have not been able to stay healthy, which I have chalked up to the constant travel and weather change. I did my best to rest on the bus and was feeling a bit better by the time we got in to rainy Little Rock. The theatre we were playing was actually about 20 miles away in Maumelle, as the usual tour house in Little Rock was closed for renovation. So, with little time to spare for relaxation and food, the boys and I headed to the Maumelle Performing Arts Center (above) for some rehearsal before the show that night. Sonny Burgess and the Legendary Pacers (with the cast above) was in town to sit in with the band that night and perform their first Sun hit, Red Headed Woman. So they joined us on stage for a short rehearsal and sound check before our normal sound check when moving into a new venue. It was great to be onstage with some true legends of Sun, and to hear all of their stories about their first encounters wit Sam Phillips. Following the rehearsal I attempted to get a nap in before our full sound check to little success. The audience was a bit reserved that night, but that didn't stop us from having a great show, and enjoying our raucous encore with Sonny and the boys. After a long and eventful day, it was time for me to go home and see if I could sleep off my meager cold. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Saturday brought our typical 2 show day, with Jimmy on as Jerry Lee for both shows. The commute to and from the theatre certainly put a damper on our free time, but both shows did end up going quite well. The audiences as a whole in Maumelle were quite a bit more reserved and quiet than we had become accustomed to, but that didn't stop us from giving it our all. Between shows I did my best to rest after getting some Jimmy John's next door, and it really was necessary considering how poorly I was feeling and how busy a night I had ahead. My old boss and friend Will Prather was in town that night with Lauren Sobon and Russell Thompson in tow, checking out our production for their upcoming hand off of our tour to them for a non union run. It was great to catch up with all of them over a craft beer with the cast at the Flying Saucer in downtown Little Rock, even if I had been feeling pretty lousy. I stayed out for a bit with them before we all decided it was time to call it a night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We had only one show to look forward to the next day, and then an impending day off. Thankfully that show was a matinee; because like the rest of the shows in Maumelle, the audience was quite lackluster. Following the show I headed to run a few errands with Jake, and then we made our way downtown to get some food at a place called Big Whiskey. I was still not feeling the greatest, so once we got back to the hotel, I laid low and even napped for a bit. That day was Aly's birthday, and she had invited people out to a place called 109 that night; craft cocktails and such. So, once I finally dragged myself out of my bed, I made the short walk to join much of the cast and crew. It was a pretty fun night, though there were definitely some dramatic moments. My lips are sealed.......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
With the day off on Monday, a few of us had decided to make our way to Memphis. As the early morning approached, it appeared that it would just be Gabe, Jake and I; and I was just fine with taking the small group. I was still coughing a lot, but feeling a bit better. I certainly wasn't going to back out of our trip, so I tried to make the most of it. We talked a lot on the way, and the 2 hour drive seemed to go very quickly. Gabe had been to Memphis before, but hadn't been to many of the places Jake and I had been, so we intended to be his tour guides. The first stop was Sun Studio, which seemed more than appropriate. No matter how many times I visit the studio, it is just as special and meaningful each and every time. I got some great pictures of the boys (above), and even tried some new black and white offerings; I do have hundreds of pictures from past trips, after all. We had a great time there, so we headed downtown to get some lunch at my favorite BBQ spot, Rendezvous. The only problem was, it is closed on Monday. So, we were out of luck. We opted to walk around a bit more before heading for lunch, so we went into the Peabody Hotel, and of course into Lansky's. We even got to talk to Mr. Lanksy (the original namesake's son) for a bit before moving on. We walked toward Beale, and I noticed the new home of the Hard Rock Cafe (above), and also the new/old home of another Lansky's location. Apparently it was back where it had originally been. We shopped around there for a bit before walking the length of Beale in search of BBQ. Most places were closed on Monday, including Jerry Lee Lewis' semi new place (new since I had been back to Memphis). I suggested a place I had been to quite a bit, The Pig. We were all starving at that point, so just about anything would have done. But the Pig has some great BBQ, and was certainly exactly what we were looking for. Then it was time to think about either heading out of town, or trying to get to Graceland before it closed; the day had truly flown by. As Gabe had never been, we opted to head out and try to make the final tour of Graceland. By some stroke of luck, we just barely made it, and embarked on the final tour they would do that day. This marked what I think is the 4th time I've been to Graceland. Now, don't get me wrong; I like Elvis and all, and the tour is pretty great. But, I'm not sure I ever need to go again after the 4th visit. We took our time following John Stamos' (yes, that's right. Not a joke) voice around the house and grounds, and even got to head to the archives, a building I had never been to on the tour before. We then headed back to the welcome center to visit the car museum, and all of the other exhibits along the way (multiple pictures above). Once we finished, it was time to gas up, grab some necessities and hit the road back to Little Rock. The drive back seemed to take even less time, and once we landed we all went our several ways. I grabbed a bite to eat and opted to have an early night in my room before our trek to Cleveland, MS the next day. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So, that's about all from another eventful week out here on the road. More to come from the next two weeks before our layoff (which I am currently writing from), and I hope y'all will stay tuned! Thanks for reading!!!</div>

Hey everyone! Things are still pretty busy out here on the road, but we are quickly approaching our first week sit down since Alaska. We have had a slew of great shows and experiences, but it certainly has been taxing at times. As this blog starts, it has been quite a few days since we have had a day off, and since we had not moved from one spot. Here's what happened on our eventful stops this week:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We drove much of the day from Ames, IA back into Kansas, to play at yet another college. This time, we arrived in Manhattan, KS on the campus of Kansas State. After a bit of time to just chill at the hotel, the boys and I jumped in our rental car to head to work. We made it to the McCain Auditorium (above) that night for our meeting, sound check and show; it was a bit of a weird one that night. To be honest, I think we were all feeling a lot of fatigue, so we were quite ready for a little bit of time off. I got back to the hotel and was intent on finishing my long overdue Anchorage blog. After having worked on it for much of the week, I was just ready to get it done and posted. Just as I went to post it, I realized it hadn't saved....and sure enough, when I went back to fix it, it was completely gone. A full week's worth of writing completely down the drain. I contemplated starting again right then and there, but honestly I was pretty pissed off about it. So, I headed next door to the bowling alley where much of the cast was. I really wasn't in the greatest mood, but I figured that a drink and a little bowling might make me feel a bit better. After hanging out for quite a while, I headed home to forget about my blog and get ready for the travel day to follow. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a pretty long drive on Tuesday morning to get to Kansas City, and from there we flew into Denver, with a sizable drive to Cheyenne that night. I was still reeling a bit from the loss of my blog, and when I had free moments during our travel day, I was working to rewrite and compile everything. We got into Cheyenne in the early evening, and once we were moved into the historic Plains Hotel (above), I opted for a quick dinner at Jimmy John's next door. The weather was quite nice, so it seemed as though we had finally happened upon Spring. I hung out in my room for a while that evening before opting to head next door to a bar called the Drunken Skunk for Jeffrey's birthday. Quite a bit of the cast and crew were there with us, so we had a really fun time hanging out and celebrating with Jeffrey. They closed the bar relatively early, so it was back to the hotel to rest before the next day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The strange mixed bag of weather we experienced the next day was something else. As it was our only full day in Cheyenne, I had planned to walk around and take pictures. As I headed out for food shortly before noon, I found that the temperate weather we had had the night before had turned cold. Not only that, but it started to snow. The snow was so strange that it was really almost more like sleet, or hail. I went straight back to the hotel after getting food, pretty disappointed in the day. I waited for a bit, and suddenly the sun came out. So, I made my way out quickly to get coffee, and walk around the historic area we were staying in, in order to get pictures before the weather turned bad again. I stopped by the historic Union Pacific depot next door (above), and walked all over the place taking pictures of the painted boots around, as well as a plethora of old advertisements painted on brick buildings. I even stopped into the western wear store and ended up getting a jacket I really liked for use in my solo Johnny Cash shows. It was expensive, but well worth it. As the weather started to get colder, I went back to my hotel to rest and stay warm before our show that night. And, I finally finished and successfully posted my Anchorage blog. I made the walk by myself to the Cheyenne Civic Center (above) that evening, and the cold was almost unbearable. I was getting pretty sick and tired of the winter weather, and I was quite ready to not have to walk in it any more. Thankfully I had gotten a coffee along the way at Paramount, which was a coffee shop in what used to be an historic theatre. However, the coffee was cold by the time I got to the theatre. We had an amazing and much needed show that night, and afterward many of us headed to back to the Drunken Skunk. Due to our short travel the next day, we stayed out for quite a bit before heading back to the hotel. Some people even opted to do karaoke in the hotel bar. I stopped in for a hot second, and after getting in an argument with the woman running it, who tried to convince me the famous Johnny Cash song "Jacksonville" was originally recorded by June Carter and her first husband, as illustrated in the movie Walk The Line (she, of course, was very much mistaken; don't try and tango with me on the subject of Cash. YOU.WILL.LOSE), I headed up to my room. For the night before, and later I learned on this night in question, Skye and Jake were having a much different experience. Most of us had learned upon check in that the Plains Hotel was notoriously haunted. But, not everyone had heard that. Over our two nights in the hotel, Jake and Skye had a lot of otherworldly experiences, exacerbated by the fact that they were close to one such haunted room; the site of a murder suicide in the early part of the 1900's. Now, if they had just compared notes on their evenings, that would be one thing. Instead, they both opted to stay together in the same room so as to prove neither of them were crazy. Neither of them really slept for two nights, and Skye even videotaped much of the events that happened. I can't even do the stories and events justice, so I will just say that if you want to hear some amazing stories of hauntings, you should ask them. The icing on the cake of the whole night was when I realized that I had miscalculated my copious note taking, and that that evening had been my 400th performance as Johnny Cash. Oh well. At least I figured it out right away. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next day brought a short yet eventful drive through a heavy blizzard to get us to Fort Collins, CO. By the time we got there, the snow had turned to rain, but it was still pretty cold. Again, we were getting pretty sick of the weather. Because of that, I stayed in for much of the afternoon and evening before the boys and I headed to the Fort Collins Lincoln Center (above) for the first of our 4 shows there. Honestly, the audience was pretty lackluster. We had been hoping for a raucous response, but that is definitely not what we got. Following the show I headed to the IHOP next door with Jake before turning in for an early evening. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up pretty early to get a much needed haircut at Scissors and Sinners the next day, and was really taken aback by the amazing people at the place, and the great hair cut I got. We talked quite a bit about the show, and the fact that seemingly the entire cast would be getting haircuts there. Skye stopped by for his appointment, and after we were both done we shared an umbrella to head for some lunch at Chipotle, and a coffee at Alley Cat coffee. He opted to walk back, so I drove back to the hotel. Along the way I stopped at Bizarre Bazaar, a record store within walking distance from our hotel. Patrick had told me that they had an abundance of Johnny Cash records, and I was not disappointed. The problem at this point is, because I am never with my records, I sometimes can't remember which ones I have anymore. After buying 12, I figured that I should probably head home before buying anything else. I used the terrible weather that day to my advantage, and opted to do some laundry. That night brought another funky show, with an audience to match. It marked the first of a weekend of shows with Jimmy joining us as Jerry Lee. I again headed back to IHOP with Jake following the show that night, and then headed back to my room. With all the things I never get to catch up on, I decided to pull up Psycho on my computer and watch it through HDMI on my hotel's tv. Then it was off to bed early to wait in line the following morning for Record Store Day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The folks at Bizarre Bazaar had warned me the day before that people would be in line very early. As I showed up at the store that morning at 9:15 for a 10AM opening and found myself about 40th in line, I found they were right. I had a few priorities that morning, and after waiting quite a while to get in, I was a bit disappointed. For those that don't know, Record Store Day was actually created by the folks at Bullmoose Music in Maine, more specifically, at what I consider my home store, in Scarborough. It is a day that is meant to encourage people to not only buy vinyl, but to shop at independent record stores. Over the years, a slew of artists and record labels have started releasing limited edition findings for the day, prompting people to stand in line for these limited releases. On my list were 3 very specific things. The new Broadway cast recording of Hedwig and the Angry Inch on pink vinyl, Johnny Cash Live in Prague on red vinyl, and most importantly, the first pressing of Elvis' first recording, never released, My Happiness. I was only able to get the Hedwig, an odd 45 of the Psycho theme (a bit ironic given my movie choice the night before), and Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska. I frantically posted on Facebook that I was looking for the other two, and in just a few short hours I had two friends pick them up for me at local stores. Ah, to have great friends out there!! Moderately pleased with my purchases, I got some food, coffee, and headed to the closest FedEx to ship out the ridiculous amount of records I had purchased that day before our matinee. Another weird show followed that afternoon, and after bringing Jake to Scissors and Sinners for a cut, we grabbed some lunch at Chipotle, and then headed BACK to the record store. Thankfully I escaped without making a purchase. After a bit of downtime, the boys and I headed back to the theatre that night for our closing show before heading out the next day. It was the best of the performances we had there, but still a bit weird. I had a couple of friends there from outside Denver, so we headed to a place called Nick's near our hotel for some food and conversation that night before heading to bed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday brought the much dreaded drive into a matinee. Thankfully, though it was a moderately early morning, the weather for the drive and that greeted us in Pueblo was just gorgeous. We landed straight at the theatre, and shortly after we were provided with food for the short amount of time we had before sound check. After eating and taking a quick walk through town to take pictures and get coffee, we started our meeting and sound check and went straight into our matinee at the Pueblo Memorial Hall (above). Thankfully, with a 3PM matinee, we were done for the day at 5PM. After the show we all checked into our hotel rooms, and I crashed for a bit. I went out for dinner a bit later that evening, and found the Shamrock Brewery, as did the majority of the cast. After a great reuben and a local brew, I laid low for the rest of the evening before heading to bed early. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, that is about all from our eventful week. Our crazy schedule continues with some nice stops in some unexpected places here and there, and of course there is always some excitement with our group. That's all for now, but please tune back in for news from Texas, Louisiana, and a few other southern stops. Thanks for reading!! </div>

Hello friends! Another long overdue blog because of our busy schedule, so I apologize as always! But, we had some great times and saw some very interesting sights this week, so I hope this will keep your attention for a bit! Here are the highlights from our crazy week in the Midwest!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We left Folsom, CA after our day off on Easter Sunday, and embarked on a very long journey with the crew joining us, on our way to Mason City, IA. We had to make the 45 minute drive to the Sacramento airport first, and after a couple of flights to get us to Des Moines, we then had to bus for quite a while before finally getting in that night; about 1 AM. It was a very long day for us all, but particularly for the crew, who would have to load in just 8 hours later. We welcomed a new member to our crew that week, Lauren Daisy, as she would be covering Corey's weekend of personal days. She had worked with quite a few people on our crew, and everyone spoke very highly of her, so we looked forward to working with her for the week. Shortly after arriving at the hotel, most people crashed in anticipation of the day ahead. </div>

Jake and I had been planning a little field trip from Mason City for quite some time. So, on Tuesday morning we headed out for yet another rock n' roll Mecca; the Surf Ballroom (above). But first, we headed to the Mason City Municipal Airport to pick up Colte from his time off. Ironically, this was the same airport that Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens took off from on that fateful night. Once we picked him up Jake, Patrick, Colte and I headed out in search of history. We stopped along the way for lunch at the Barrel Drive In. It seemed like a great idea at the time; after our small portions and terrible service greeted us, it seemed much less so. After spending entirely too much time there, we left and quickly made our way to the Surf. It was here in February of 1959 that the 3 aforementioned stars played their final concert, as part of the Winter Dance Party. The venue (above) has changed very little through the years, and still hosts a number of live concerts throughout the year. It also serves as a museum, mostly dedicated to the memory of those lost on February 3rd. We took in all of the artifacts, pictures and memorabilia for quite a while before heading out. Then it was time to find our way to the plane crash site. Thanks to a woman at the Surf, we easily found our way to the remote area about 15 minutes away. It certainly brought everything full circle to see where their final concert, the airport, and the crash site all were in the span of just a few hours. To make the whole thing even more eery, as we approached the memorial at the crash site, both Patrick and I went to take pictures with our iPhones....they completely shut off. Almost simultaneously. And even stranger than that, as we made our way back to the car, they both came back on....as though nothing had happened. Maybe the Big Bopper had a problem with our phones......gulp. We made our way back to the hotel to chill for a while before our only show that night in Mason City. But, our day in Clearlake paying our respects to the lost trio certainly was well worth the trip. The boys and I drove through the still frigid temps to the NACC Auditorium that night (above), and at our meeting before sound check we found out that through all of our efforts collecting for BC/EFA we had raised over $50,000! A pretty amazing feat considering we had only collected a few times and didn't even have any items to auction off. The show that night was quite good, and afterward me and a few of the boys headed to Applebee's nearby to wind down before heading to bed. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We made our way to Sioux Falls, SD on Wednesday, and along the way had a very odd lunch stop at a Hyvee in Minnesota. It had a wealth of fresh food options, but rather than have us pay for what we had on our plates BEFORE eating, the system was to go into a strange dining area, wait for someone to take our drink order, and then pay as we left. The whole thing was quite odd. At least I got a fresh salad. We arrived in Sioux Falls in the mid afternoon, and hunkered down until we had to leave for the theatre. The boys and I made our way to the Washington Pavilion (above) for the 1st of two shows in town. The show went extremely well that night, and after a nice and quick meet and greet with some very pleasant patrons, a few of us made our way downtown to celebrate Andrew's birthday! I opted to join a few members of the crew with Jake at a place called Lucky's, and after a while much of the cast and the rest of the crew joined us there. It was a fun and very interesting night for sure, and it was great great to be out on the town with everyone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The weather was quite nasty the next day, so I laid quite low for much of the day. Jake wanted to grab some lunch, so we drove a bit to get to Chili's for a bite. After that I just laid low and tried to stay as warm as possible. We were all starting to get pretty sick of the awfully cold weather; oh spring, where art thou? We had another great show in Sioux Falls that night, and following another pleasant meet and greet, the boys and I headed home. Daisy, getting ready to do her first solo show on props the following day, took the time to make an amazing wall tag for us (above) that we all made sure to sign before load out. Patrick invited a few of us over that evening for a viewing of Walk Hard. I had never seen the movie, mostly because of it's obvious parody of Walk The Line and Cash's life. And though it still won't ever be one of my favorites, I certainly did have a great time with everyone laughing and watching the movie. And after another late night, it was time to get some rest. </div>

On our way to Lincoln, NE on Friday we stopped for lunch in Omaha, which was a bit of a tease. Aside from the week we spent there on tour last year, because of my years being there with the Nebraska Theatre Caravan, it was hard to only be there for a lunch stop. Nevertheless, we continued on our way to Lincoln and arrived in the late afternoon. We made our way to the Lied Center that night (above, one of two consecutive theatres with the same name), a place that had been part of Gabe's formative theatre years growing up. Lincoln had a lot to offer, aside from being Cornhusker country, and it was only a shame that we just didn't have much time to spend there. After a fantastic show, the boys and I met up with some of Gabe's friends for some food and drink at Buzzard Billy's in the Haymarket District, and though we weren't out all that late, we had a blast. Then it was time to sleep for yet another show in another town the next day. </div>

Saturday brought a drive to Lawrence, KS, home of not only the Jayhawks, but our very own music director Chuck Mead. We landed in the mid afternoon and were LOVING the warm and sunny weather once we arrived. After quickly settling in at our hotel, I headed closeby to Love Garden Sounds, a great record store that Patrick suggested, as we rifled through 45's, LP's and all sorts of other little gems. I walked out with quite a few Cash records I didn't have, and delighted in their Cash inspired decor (above). After staying in my room a bit, I drove the boys to the next Lied Center (above), for what proved to be a great show that evening. And, Chuck Mead's parents were there to watch us. Having seen almost every production of MDQ thus far, it was really nice to meet them and hear their perspective on our production. I met up with Jimmy, Gabe, Patrick and Laura at one of Chuck's favorite places, Free State Brewery for a bit following the show, and then a few of us headed to the Bourgeois Pig (pictured above) for a night cap of deliciously crafted cocktails before calling it a night. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday was a bit of a blur, as it was about to bring the 5th city of the week. We pulled into Ames, IA that late afternoon and made our way to the Stephens Auditorium (above) that evening for the show, still basking in some very nice and sunny weather. The show that night really was fantastic, and the boys and I joined Colte's old friends at Buffalo Wild Wings later for a bit of a celebration. It may have been the end of the week, but it still was not quite time for us to have a day off yet. We were sorely in need of one though. </div>

So, there is our busy week from the Midwest! Much more to come in the next installment, complete with ghost stories and record buying mayhem! Stay tuned, friends! </div>

Hello everyone! Fresh on the heels of my long overdue and oft-deleted Anchorage blog, here comes the story of our week back on the West Coast! It was a great week filled with great weather and great shows. And, a bit of sightseeing in there too. Here's what happened!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After checking out of my frightening hotel room in Chicago and heading to O'Hare and dropping off my car, I had a relatively late flight to Sacramento with a layover in Minneapolis. It was a pretty long day of flights, but nothing really too bad. I landed in Sacramento at about 8, and waited for a few other people to land for us to take the shuttle the hour and a half to Chico. For some reason, the folks at Super Shuttle were pretty reluctant to take us where we needed to go even though the trip had been booked a month in advance. Nearly 2 hours after we all landed, they FINALLY put us in a van and we were on our way. It was after midnight by the time we finally arrived. I was pretty road weary and just thankful to have some time to chill before heading to bed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up on Monday morning, in awe of my lush green surroundings and the gorgeous weather. After all, it had been snowing in Chicago when I left. I walked around a bit, getting some food and coffee and meeting up with Gabe along the way. Mostly I just wanted to be outside and enjoy the weather as much as I could before the show that night. The boys and I headed to the theatre that night to do our one show in Chico at the Laxson Auditorium (above). The downtown was really cute, and reminded me a lot of Santa Barbara when we played there last year. Briggs, the lighting magician he is, ended up having to recreate his alternate lighting design that he created for Keene, NH, given the theatre was unable to accommodate our lighting trusses. But, just as before, it looked great and I'm sure no one in the audience was any the wiser. In fact, they were a really great audience. Following the show the boys and I got to talk to a student at the nearby college, and grabbed a bite to eat together at Tres Hombres, a Mexican restaurant just steps from the stage door. Then it was back to the hotel to chill before our travel day the next day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a bit of a later call on Tuesday morning, in preparation for our drive to Medford, OR. I was very much looking forward to it, as I was going to be able to say hello to an old friend from IWU! Once we got in, after a very scenic drive (pictures above), I stayed in my hotel for the most part, before heading to a nearby grocery store for a few things. Jeffrey had told me earlier that he really hoped we would enjoy our rental car for the evening....and when I saw it, I realized why (pictures above). It's the little things; sometimes (or, just this once) you drive a Mercedes to the theatre and feel like a rock star. Gotta love it. We made our way to the Craterian Theater that evening (above), and though the crew had a bit of a tough load in, we had a really great show. I got to see Gabrielle (above) after the show and meet her daughter! We hadn't seen each other since at least 2000, so it was great to catch up for a bit. Jimmy was on as Jerry Lee that night, and his father, sister and grandfather were all able to make the trip from Washington to see him, which was really nice. After the show I stuck to my room mostly, after having a bite to eat at the Denny's in our hotel. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a long but GORGEOUS drive the following morning, as we made our way to Folsom, CA. We stopped for gas in Weed, CA, and I took a few pictures of the beautiful mountains in the distance (above), as well as some shots along the way of the countryside. Once we got in that evening, I grabbed a burger at the nearby In and Out, and then hosted a movie night in my room. As we were in Folsom with the prison so close (and, that I was the only one who had been there), I wanted to show the Johnny Cash Live at Folsom Prison documentary, so that people could get a bit more of an inside look at how the album, concert, etc. were done. And, I was leading an excursion there the next day, so I wanted people to have an idea of where we were going. Everyone had a really good time, and following the end of the movie we all headed to bed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next morning I took Gabe, Colte, Jimmy and Brad with me as we made the short drive to see the prison (above), and visit the museum. They had made quite a few changes since I had been there when the tour played Sacramento 3 years ago, so it was nice to see all of the new Cash additions (above). As we were standing there, the man running the gift shop let me know that I should meet Jim Brown, the curator who had just pulled up. Well, I knew Jim at first glance because he is in every documentary where they speak about the prison in connection with Johnny playing there. So, I was more than thrilled to meet him (above). He told us tons of stories about the many times Cash visited and played subsequent concerts after the famous recording in 1967, and a lot of other stories about his time as a guard, and meeting Merle Haggard and a slew of other stars that had played in the area. I of course spent a TON in the gift shop, but it was all well worth it. We headed back toward the hotel, and we were all feeling pretty hangry. So, we stopped in at Mimi's Cafe on Gabe's suggestion. Damn, it was good. Then it was time to head back home to rest a bit before our opening night in Folsom. We had a fantastic opening there, and I was glad to hear such a positive response to my rendition of Folsom Prison Blues; I mean...c'mon. After the show, I laid low yet again, getting prepared for the double the next day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A double? On a Friday, you ask? Well, with Sunday being Easter, the theatre opted to have a double weekend, and thus we had two shows on Friday (the first time I have every had that, I can say). Skye went on for the matinee as Jake wasn't feeling very well, and Jimmy was on as planned for the evening show that night. All in all the shows went very well, but the audiences were a bit more reserved than they had been the night before. In between shows I did the all important laundry time at the hotel, and went back to In and Out for another of their irresistible burgers. That evening we went to BJ's for a bite after the show, with a couple of my friends that had seen the year prior when we were in Modesto. Then, it was off to bed to prepare for another double. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bradley joined us for the Saturday matinee, and in between shows I grabbed a bite to eat with Jake at Quiznos and talked about the show, and how the time just seemed to be flying by. Both shows went extremely well, and I was glad to see yet another friend from Modesto, and we all ended up back at BJ's for some food and drink afterward. All in all, it was a really great week, and a good way to ease us back into the busy schedule that awaited us. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We thankfully had Easter Sunday off, and though some of us had plans to go out and about and do some outdoorsy things, the weather was not about to cooperate. So, I hung out with a few people and had some mimosas and watched movies for much of the day. That evening I got an amazing lobster roll with a friend at Rudy's Hideaway just outside of Folsom, and had a really great and relaxing night. Later that evening much of the cast and crew joined me in my room for a viewing of This Is Spinal Tap, as I had mentioned it and quite a few people (how is this possible???) hadn't seen it. It made for a bit of a late night, but we all needed the laughs as we headed into a couple weeks of brutal one nighters; especially the crew. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's it from our week on the West Coast! Soon I will be back with tales from our barrage of cities in the midwest, and some adventures at some rock and roll landmarks. I hope everyone is well out there, and that you can enjoy the warm weather, if you indeed have it. Until next time!!</div>

This blog will be prefaced thusly: After 3 days of uploading pictures, constructing witty turn of phrase and writing about our adventures in Alaska and on layoff, the ENTIRE blog was lost. After contemplating throwing my expensive MacBook out my second story window, I decided instead to completely forget about it for the night and attempt to move on. So, this blog comes to you after a few long and frustrating days, long overdue, but better late than never. </div>

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog for our first week sit down of the year! After a nice long week off, we were all very much looking forward to going to a new city and state for most of us, as well as not having to travel all week. Here are the highlights of our week in the great white north. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Having the forethought to book a hotel next to the Portland Jetport after my week in New York City turned out to be a brilliant idea. My parents met me with the remainder of my luggage, and we grabbed a bite to eat at the Sea Dog before they made the trip back home that evening. My flight was at 6AM, so I didn't see the point in waking up and leaving my house at 3. Thus, the hotel. It was a wise decisions. I woke up before dawn the following day and boarded my first flight of a very long day ahead. Portland>Detroit>Seattle>Anchorage. All said and done, it was about a 14 hour travel day. Thankfully with the time change it was still quite early in Anchorage. After taking the shuttle to the hotel and moving in, I snapped a few shots of the view from my hotel room (above). I was pretty hungry, so I headed next door with Patrick to a popular local hang, Humpy's. It turned out that almost the entire crew was there, as well as Jeffrey, Colte and a few others. Patrick and I caught up over a local brew and my giant crab roll (above). After that, I decided to lay pretty low considering I was quite tired from the flights and the time change. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up very early for me on Tuesday, and was determined to see as much as I could and be productive on my first day in Alaska. I walked around for a very long time, making my way to the edge of town to get a few pictures of the glorious snow capped mountains in the distance (above). On my way back, I stumbled upon a memorial for Fire/EMS workers (above) and stopped in the fire house to get my brother a shirt (I have gotten him fire house shirts from almost every major city we have played). The woman working there suggested a place for lunch, and I was sold. A short walk from the memorial and quite close to our hotel, Ma's Hot Dog Stand (above) has been a mainstay of Anchorage for 23 years. And, the most popular thing on the menu is exactly what I wanted: a reindeer hot dog. And let me tell you, I was not let down. That and the kosher beef dog I had were just amazing. My hunger satisfied, I walked around a bit more, heading into the brand new Hard Rock Cafe where our promo was to take place the next day. Feeling very accomplished and productive, I headed back to the hotel (all of this well before noon, mind you) and I even fit in my first workout in quite a while. After chilling in my room for a bit, I grabbed a sandwich at Brown Bag Sandwich Company, a coffee at Kaladi Brothers, and made my way to the theatre for opening night. Now, we have some good crowds almost every night. But I will tell you that the enthusiasm coming from each and every crowd at the Alaska Center For The Performing Arts was like nothing we have EVER experienced on tour. They were raucous, laughing at every joke, and with us every step of the way. For every single show. Likewise, we collected for BC/EFA again in Alaska, and the patrons were as liberal with their money as they were with their praise. We were blown away by their generosity. So, needless to say, opening night was amazing. It also happened to be St. Patrick's Day, so the entire cast and crew headed to Humpy's to celebrate the day and a successful opening night. I had some really great conversations that night, and I think everyone was just in such high spirits because of the venue, the full week there, and just the positivity all around us. I headed home relatively early to be ready for the promo at the Hard Rock the next day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up on Tuesday at about 8AM, and realizing I could still sleep, promptly went back to bed. I woke up at 10 with terrible stomach pains, and I had no idea why. I got ready for the promo and was feeling like hell warmed over. After sound check we were fed, and there was NO WAY I was going to be able to keep anything down. I tried to eat a bit, and was drinking tons of water, but it just wasn't helping. Sure enough, as we were waiting for the promo to start, I got sick. Sicker than I have been in years, and at the Hard Rock. The day after St. Patty's. How embarrassing. I'm sure anyone who heard the sounds of me wrenching from the bathroom assumed I was hung over from the night before, but I assure you that was not the case. I made it through the promo as well as the press interviews that followed, but as soon as everything was over I headed home to sleep. I slept almost until my call, and found I was feeling slightly better; not great, but better. So, I trucked through the show and did just find. I always find in instances like that that my adrenaline kicks in and I just make it happen. Following the show I got a cup of soup and some electrolytes, and I am pretty sure I was in bed by 11pm. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Feeling a bit better on Thursday, I headed to Kaladi for some coffee and light food before joining up with the cast at Mad Myrna's, a gay bar across town. We had been planning a benefit concert for BC/EFA for quite some time, and the day had come for rehearsal, sound check, and after the show would come the concert. We teched through everything, and it was really great to see the cast doing all sorts of different things that we never get to see anyone do. Following rehearsal, Gabe at I headed to Fat Ptarmigan for some food. I got a pizza with, you guessed it, reindeer. We walked back to the hotel and a had a few slices and some soup before taking a much needed nap. My stomach was still not the greatest, and really stayed that way for the rest of our time in Alaska. C'est la vie. After my nap I headed to the theatre for yet another great show with an audience to match. Then, it was time to head to Mad Myrna's for our concert. There were tons of people there waiting to get in, and after some food and drink, we got ready for the show. The whole thing was really a blast, and it was fun to let loose and perform for each other. I got a good amount of pictures (above) of every act, and we were even able to video tape the entire concert. We raised close to $5,000 that night through the ticket sales, donations and auctions we did. So it was an extremely successful and fun night. We were all there quite late, and then it was time to head home.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I slept in a bit on Friday, and then after a failed attempt to hit a popular brunch spot, I wandered around taking pictures a bit more. My first stop was the Cook inlet (above), and the view from that vantage point. I could even see a glimpse of Mt. McKinley in the far distance. I then headed across town to the Anchorage Museum to learn a bit more about the history of the industry in the area, and more fascinating to me, the native people of Alaska (above). I was there for quite a while taking pictures and reading most everything before I decided to head back home for a bit. We had yet another great show that evening, and though I had been feeling quite a bit better I opted to have an early night and nurse my still ailing stomach. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday brought our first two show day in Alaska. I woke up relatively late and tried to eat something light with my coffee before I headed to the matinee. It of course went off without a hitch, and I opted to stay at the theatre in between to do some laundry. That night marked the 900th performance of Million Dollar Quartet on tour, and Skye was on as Elvis to join in the festivities. Another great show followed, and a few of us headed to Orso, close to our hotel for a bite and a drink afterward. I had a delightful salad and smoked salmon/king crab deviled eggs. MMMMM. The plan for the rest of the evening was for a small group of us to head across town to an Anchorage watering hole institution, Chilkoot Charlie's. Frace's girlfriend Haley had scored some VIP passes for us, so we were looking forward to going. The bar is a massive complex, housing over 10 separate bars each with a different theme from cowboy to surf to punk. So, we were escorted in and brought to our roped off VIP section, complete with security and table service. We were in the largest of the areas, and there was even a band playing an array of cover songs. Gabe got up and sang a White Stripes song, and we all just enjoyed walking around and exploring each of the bars. After being there quite late, it was time for us to head home and rest for the double the next day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday brought the last two shows in Anchorage, and we were all pretty sad that the time had flown by so quickly. The matinee was great as usual, and after doing a bit of shopping for gifts for my family I headed to The Hard Rock with Jake for dinner in between shows. Since I finally had my appetite back and I hadn't been able to eat there when we did our promo, I decided to get their local burger; and of course, it had a full reindeer sausage on it. Talk about a hell of a burger. We all made our way to the theatre for the show that night, and a hell of a show it was. We may not have wanted to leave, but they certainly showed us how appreciative they were of our week there. Following the show I did my best to pack, and headed back to Humpy's for some food. After practically falling asleep over my food, it was time to head back to the hotel for some rest before my extremely early flight in the morning. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4AM came pretty early on Monday, and I headed to the airport with Briggs; thankfully we were able to finally catch a cab and because we got there so early, had no problem checking in and making it through security. As with the week before Anchorage that I spent in NYC, we had a week off following Alaska so that our set could be shipped back to the continental 48. I opted to head to a couple of places I hadn't been in quite some time: Chicago and my alma mater, Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, IL. After a lengthy delay in Seattle, I finally made it into Chicago in the late evening, and checked into my hotel in Skokie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up early on Tuesday so that I could make my way to a few places in downtown Chicago that I hadn't seen in quite some time. The first stop was at the Alley, one of my favorite punk stores for some t-shirts and browsing. I then made my way to Wrigley Field (below), a park I had visited years ago, but still have never seen a game in. I made my way across town and headed to the Hard Rock; surprisingly I don't believe I had ever been there in all of my travels. I then made my way to Millennium Park to take pictures of the Pritzker Pavillion, as well as the Cloud Gate (below). Then it was back to Skokie for a nice dinner with my old Christmas Carol tour mate Julie Nichols, and a trip to Delilah's bar for a drink with some new and old friends. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next morning I made my way to IWU, having not been on the campus for 11 years. I was just excited to be back and see how much things had changed. The more things change, the more they stay the same. It was great to see so many of my professors (and, that they seemingly had entered a time warp where they didn't age), spend some quality time with my dear friend Maggie, and to meet so many of the students. I visited some old haunts along the way, as well as getting to teach an auditions class, have a few informal talks with students from the School Of Theatre Arts, and even a nice dinner with the head of my department and my former advisor, Nancy Loitz. I also somehow managed to get strep throat while I was there; so, I was trying to do all I could to rest and get better while still trying to do and see as much as possible. After a trip to the doctor for some antibiotics, I was on my way to recovery and also headed back to Chicago. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got there in the middle of the day, and checked into my frightening yet cheap hotel in Hyde Park. After a lengthy nap and some down time, I headed back to the city to FINALLY see the boys and m'am of the Chicago MDQ do their thing! I had a great chat with John Countryman (our Jerry Lee last year) as I awaited the beginning of the show, and then rocked out with our Chicago brethren. It was amazing to see how different the show is there, yet so similar. The set is so different yet amazing, and I loved watching all of their different takes on each character. I had a blast. After meeting the cast afterward, most of whom I have "known" through Facebook for some time, it was time to head out and have a bite to eat with Kelly Lamont (below), our Dyanne for the last three years on tour, and our assistant director Scott Weinstein. It truly was an awesome night, and I was in no way looking forward to leaving the Windy City. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next morning I dropped off my rental car and made my way to O'hare, ready to rejoin my tour pals in California. So, after much waiting and frustration from the deletion of this blog, here you have it! This ALMOST brings you up to speed on what we have been up to out on the road, but I hope to have the next installment out to you very soon. I hope his finds everyone well, and enjoying the spring weather! Stay tuned for more news from the road!!! </div>

We started the long drive on Monday morning from The Gateway to the West on our way to Whitewater, WI. If you recall from my last blog (when did I write that? Like, 5 years ago?), I got some really nice pictures of the Arch in the fog and snow, just as the sun was rising. The cold continued as we ventured back into the land of beer and cheese and Patrick. It had been a bit since we had been in that neck of the woods because, if memory serves, the last time we were in Wisconsin was Madison toward the end of tour last year. Though it was a lengthy drive, we got in with plenty of time to relax before our now not so uncharacteristic Monday night show. Most people laid low before making the short rental car drive to the venue that evening. There was a lot of excitement in the air; Patrick, Gabe and Aly all had family at the show that night, and Aly was on as Dyanne for the first time since the matinee in Portland, ME! Following a great show that night at the Young Auditorium (above), the students at the university there threw us a very nice reception following the performance, and we were glad to mingle with them, our cast's multiple family members and other patrons while chowing on pizza and punch. Most of us made our way back to the hotel that evening, though a small group comprised mostly of the Thunderstudies headed to Aly's family's home for a bit of a sleepover. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next morning, after a few inches of snow fall, we got on the bus at 11 for the short drive to Wausau. Aly and the group made it back just barely in time, due to the unforeseen snowfall and a group effort of shoveling the entire driveway to give them room to get out. But they made it! Thankfully the drive was short, as I was starting to really not feel that well. Once we arrived in Wausau, I laid pretty low in the warmth of my hotel room. I decided, however, that I needed to get a bite to eat, so I headed to the strangely named but delightful Egbert and Gerbert's for some soup and a sandwich. The show that night was in walking distance from our hotel at the Grand Theatre (above); a beautifully restored old venue seemingly made for our show. David was on as Brother Jay that night, and we had a really amazing show! I started to feel a bit worse that evening as the show went on, so by the time it was time to head home I was pretty wiped out. After sitting in the hotel restaurant with a small group for a bit, I headed to bed in hopes of kicking the cold that seemed to be on it's way. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lo and behold, sickness found it's way to me and on Wednesday morning as we made the short drive to the frozen tundra of Green Bay, WI, I was feeling like hell warmed over. Thankfully there was a restaurant in the hotel's lobby, so I was able to get a bite to eat not long after we got in, and then proceeded to rest as much as I could. Other than the fact that I don't believe in calling out or talking a day off, I really would have to be so deathly ill that it would be completely impossible for me to perform. Besides all of the above, that night in Green Bay at the Weidner Center (above) marked my 400th performance on tour! Now, just to be clear, that is 400 overall for me as both Cash and Sam Phillips. After Krug kept copious notes on numbers and times of performances for the first 3 years, I continued to keep track of things so I would be prepared for certain milestones, a few of which are approaching. Jimmy was also on that night as Jerry Lee, and though I hadn't been feeling well, the show really did go very well. Following the show I joined a group at the hotel restaurant for a bit before promptly heading to bed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a rather lengthy drive from Green Bay to Detroit on Thursday, but thankfully no show that evening. Once we were settled in a very different area than we had been in 3 years prior (we stayed about 25 minutes away in Dearborn, MI) I desperately wanted to find some comfort food close by so that I could stay out of the cold as much as I could and feel better as quickly as possible. On suggestion from Chuck and Anna who were there currently, I headed to the Harbor House for a bite with them. And I was very glad I did. After a great cup of clam chowder I had one of the best reuben sandwiches (above) I have ever had. As we were eating, a guy next to us drew a picture of me (above; he failed to capture my profusely running nose) as well as of Chuck and Anna. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even though I wasn't feeling the greatest, I still wanted to host a little gathering, suggested by Patrick. As we were in Detroit for the weekend, and because many of the cast had never been there or seen the film, I hosted a showing of Standing In The Shadows Of Motown. The movie was made in the early 90's and is a documentary about the Funk Brothers; the instrumentalists responsible for the music on almost every Motown record, and more number one records than any single artist in the history of the record business. And, as I intended to lead another group to Hitsville, U.S.A. (as I had 3 years prior) on Friday, I thought it might be appropriate for people to get some perspective. So, quite a few people joined The Name Doppelgängers (Patrick and I; Morrow and Moreau) for the film and merriment. Sadly, I was still not feeling well, so shortly after the film ended I had to call it a night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still feeling sick as a dog, I braved the weather to take Patrick, Jake and Jimmy with me on my adventure. Before heading to Hitsville, I took the boys to one of my favorite places to get an authentic Coney dog, LaFayette Coneys. Next door is their rival, American Coney; now, three years ago I tried both and came to the conclusion that LaFayette was better. So, the boys trusted my judgement and the lack of seats as an indicator that we were in the right place. After a quick bite and a frigid walk to and from the car, I drove the boys to Hitsville (above). It really is an amazing experience to go there. The tour guides are always so fun and enthusiastic, and the music history that pours from the walls is more than palpable. After a lengthy and informative tour and a few pictures (above), I brought the boys back to our hotel where I promptly laid down for a nap prior to opening night. I felt quite a bit better, but not 100% by the time we got in the car to head to the Fisher that night. It was great to be back at such a beautiful old theatre that, like the Fox in St. Louis, had treated us so well for the 2 weeks we had been there in our 1st year of tour. Opening night rocked, as usual, and we were invited to an intimate opening night party at a nearby Italian restaurant following the show. Though feeling better, with the double on Saturday I didn't want to push it, so Jake and I headed back to the hotel early. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday found me feeling quite a bit better, but still quite tired. The matinee went very well, but I was really dragging in between. After a quick rehearsal for our impending benefit in Alaska, I attempted to rest for a bit before we had company notes given by Ethan and Scott who had arrived the night before. Following notes we worked a few things musically on stage before heading up to get ready for the show that night. I was tired, but I pushed through and ended up having a really great show. But after we got home, it was time for bed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday was a day we had been looking forward to for a very long time; our last show before layoff. Not only did we only have one show, but it was a matinee which meant that both the cast and crew would be done with work very early in the day. After one of the better shows of the week, as well as the last minute addition of Skye on as Elvis, we all headed back to the hotel, and some of us our several ways. I went to a Greek restaurant called Pegasus in Greektown with Gabe, Corey, Jimmy, Justin, Dani and Rachael for a really nice dinner that evening. Knowing I didn't have all that early a morning and because I was feeling better, I was hoping to hang out a bit that night. I had planned to drive to the MGM Grand Casino and join Bradley and David, but when I messaged them, they were within walking distance at the Greektown Casino. Jimmy came along and after saying hi to Brad I was on a mission to find the game I wanted, and to win some money. Strangely, both of those things happened. After playing a Wheel Of Fortune game for a while and going up about $120, the game I had waited for finally became free; a slot machine based on the 60's Batman TV series. It was glorious. And as I sat in amazement, and as Jimmy looked on, my $20 initial investment quickly turned into $200. Then $300. Then $400. Then $550. It was then that I FINALLY told myself that I would only try and get another bonus until I got to $500. And if I didn't, I would walk away. And finally, I cashed out just under $500. Not bad for a couple of hours at a casino, eh?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next morning (and some that evening) the cast and crew went our several ways for our first week break since tour started. Now, you may be thinking that we hadn't been out on tour all that long without a "break". Well, dear readers, keep this in mind: In the first two years of tour, we played 55 cities total. That's 55 cities in the better part of 19 months. Last year, we played 75 cities from September-July, with quite a few weeks off. This year, we played 34 cities in 8 weeks; so....it was time for a break. I hopped on the plane in Detroit and headed home to Maine for just a little stay. I took the train to NYC the next day to stay in my dear friends AMAZING apartment on W. 29th St. between 9th and 10th. Through my 5 days there I caught up with friends new and old, caught up with Billy, The Jam, Corey, Dan Mills and even Randy Redd, all MDQ alums from Broadway, off-Broadway and Tour. Along the way I saw Jersey Boys (below) for the first time, caught one of the first post-opening performances of On The 20th Century complete with a talkback with the cast, and saw Billy and The Band perform twice. I wouldn't say it was the most restful, but I certainly had a great time and it was certainly great to have some time off. I departed NYC for Maine, and was greeted at the station by my parents. I opted to check into a hotel in Portland, a short walk from the Jetport, because my flight to Anchorage the following day was at 6 AM. And, I am VERY glad I did. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, there are the highlights from two of the last few weeks on the road. Coming up VERY soon (I swear, this time) will be highlights of our first week long stay of the tour in Anchorage, and my post Anchorage layoff adventures. That's it for now, but thank you for tuning in! I promise to not let so much time pass in the future!!!!</div>

Hey kids! This week's installment is WAY overdue! It's been a busy few weeks, so I have been a bit remiss in my blogging duties. But, I will recap everything the best that I can, and hope you enjoy! Here's what happened in a week in the seemingly distant past!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Having just spent the weekend with family and friends in Maine, we made the trek from Bangor back south to fly out of my home airport in Portland. Seeming to be our lot in life lately on the tour, we hit a series of long delays, and we didn't arrive at our final destination in Morganton, NC until pretty late that evening. Our options for food and libations limited, I opted to go next door to Waffle House before turning in for the night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Surprisingly, the weather in NC wasn't the warmest, so I opted to lay low for most of the day, after a trip to the mall for a couple of things. Then it was off to our one show at the Municipal Auditorium (above) in Morganton. The show went extremely well, and then it was off for some food at the ever popular tour destination, Applebee's. A fantastic musician and a friend of Patrick's, JD McPherson was playing on David Letterman that night, so a group of us joined him in his room to watch and hang out. Then, it was off to bed for another lengthy travel day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Though the day didn't start all that early on Wednesday, it certainly was a long one. It was probably the longest travel day with the longest stretch of delays we have had in all my years of tour. Colte had lucked out, as it was his day to join the crew on the bus on their way to Wabash (above), but we spend most of our day stuck at the Atlanta airport. Though our surroundings there could have been worse, I was mostly frustrated because I had invited the cast and crew to my room that night for a Johnny Cash birthday party, as his 83rd birthday was the following day. All said and done, we didn't arrive at our hotel in Wabash until midnight, so the plans fell through a bit. After sleeping much of the day on our planes, I was awake and raring to go. And a few of the boys from the cast and some of the crew ended up coming over to watch some videos and listen to some rare Cash tracks. Though it wasn't exactly what I had hoped for for the night, I was still glad to share a bit of a celebration with everyone. After a long day and a late night, it was time for some rest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the late night, I slept in and laid pretty low for most of Thursday. I did do quite a bit of catching up on some little things here and there, so I ended up feeling pretty productive overall. Later in the day the boys and I made our way to the Honeywell Center (above) for our show that night. It was a beautiful arts center, and being pretty close to Skye's hometown, he went on that night for a slew of people. The show was great, the crowd went wild for Skye, and it was a fantastic night overall. Gabe, Colte, Frace, Jimmy, Aly and I joined Skye and his friends and family at a place called 20 for some amazing pulled pork chili and Manhattan's for bit after the show. We then braved the cold to head back home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We hopped on the bus on Friday morning to head for St. Louis; one of my favorite cities from the years prior, and a much awaited weekend stay. It had been quite a while since we had spent multiple days in a city, so this was long overdue. We moved into our spacious rooms at the Crowne Plaza, the very same hotel we had stayed at nearly two years ago, barely a stone's throw from The Arch (above). After having a few hours to rest and prepare for the show, I drove the boys to one of my all time favorite theatres, The Fabulous Fox (above). This marked the 4th time I would be performing on the Fox stage. The first was in 2001 on my very first Christmas Carol tour; we played there for a full week. The second was when the Thunderstudy boys and I flew from Kansas City to St. Louis to do a promo for the Fox's upcoming season announcement. Then, on our engagement there in May of year 2, I was lucky enough to perform as Sam Phillips for the entire second week. So, I was very much looking forward to making my Johnny Cash debut at the Fox. Spirits were high with the cast and crew that night, and that led to an amazing opening night show, as well as the beginning of our collecting for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids (BC/EFA, hereafter). After the show, a few of us headed to the hotel bar, and subsequently the crew bus for a tour and a little party. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday brought two shows, with quite a bit of busy goings on as well. As had become an everyday occurrence, the snow starting falling very quickly, making our commute longer than expected. The matinee went extremely well, and we were greeted by Finn (above) a young Elvis tribute artist from the area. After collecting for BC/EFA, we met him and took a few pictures before getting an amazing tour (my 3rd) of the Fox from Carl, a docent and usher for the theatre for many years. Not having much time in between, it was time for a quick bite at the diner near the theatre's lobby, and right back for the evening show. Another great show followed, and afterward quite a few people headed to the hotel's bar for a drink and some conversation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday was another double day, and after another great matinee Gabe, Jake and I headed to Blueberry Hill for the break. After stopping in at Vintage Vinyl, one of my favorite record shops, we stopped in Blueberry Hill, Chuck Berry's place, for a bite to eat. (See the photos of the restaurant, Chuck's star on the sidewalk, and his bronze statue above). Then it was back to the Fox for the evening show with Jimmy and Bradley on! They killed it as usual (as did Skye earlier in the week), and after collecting for just 5 shows, we raised a whopping $10,000 for BC/EFA in St. Louis! In lieu of going to far off the beaten path, it was back to the hotel bar for a bit that night before heading out in the morning. </div>

Sorry for the late addition, friends! Not to worry, though. The next installment will be on it's way, with the added bonus of some news from my layoff in Maine and NYC! Thanks for reading, and pleased stay tuned! </div>

Hello everyone! Another eventful week out here on the road, filled with 5 cities, a trip to my home state, and a whole lot more! Here's what we were up to:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The week started off with a bang on Monday morning. We took the drive from Long Island to LaGuardia to fly into Indianapolis. Thankfully, this time none of our brethren were left behind. After quite a bit of time in the air an on busses, we landed at our hotel in the mid evening. Let's just say, it wasn't the greatest hotel I have ever stayed in. After settling in a bit, I headed with Gabe to a Mexican restaurant for a bit of food before heading back to the hotel to hang with much of the cast and crew. It was nice to not have travel the next day, so quite a few of us stayed up pretty late. Then, it was time to get some rest. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried to be productive on Tuesday, and headed to the closest FedEx Office to take care of some tax preparation. I always like to be way ahead of the game as far as taxes go, so I was glad to get that taken care of. After some lunch, coffee and laying low for much of the day, the boys and I headed to our one and only show at the Emens Auditorium (above). The show went quite well, and afterward Gabe, Jimmy and I opted to grab a bite to eat at the IHOP nearby, driving in the snow to get there. After that, it was time to get some shut eye, as Jimmy got ready to fly to Mexico City for a promotion for MDQ. And as we were all settling in, our tireless crew was loading out our set for the umpteenth time in the last few weeks. Corey made a really nice short film of the Muncie load out (below), that really shows what it is like for them on a daily basis. I found it very touching. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A moderate drive to New Philadelphia, OH came our way on Wednesday and once we arrived, I had the 2nd of 3 interviews for news papers in Maine. I rested for most of the day before me and the boys drove to the The Performing Arts Center at Kent State Tuscarawas (above) amidst yet another snow storm. It was a beautiful theatre, and the audience was SPECTACULAR. After fighting the bad weather and terrible roads, the boys and I headed to Buffalo Wild Wings, where Jake, Gabe and I had a really great conversation about music, theatre and a lot of our musical influences. Then it was time to rest up for yet another travel day. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a very long travel day on Thursday as we made our way to my home turf in the northeast. We landed in Keene, NH that evening, and after a run in with a less than reputable fellow who may or may have not been on crystal meth, the cast had a meeting to discuss a few things. Afterward, I headed to Chili's with Gabe, Colte and Jake for a bite and to hang out with the crew. Following that, a big group of us headed back to the hotel to hang out in Gabe's room. It was a late night, but a great time hanging out. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was glad to have the time to sleep in on Friday morning, and not long after I woke up I did an interview for my "hometown" newspaper, the Sun Journal out of Lewiston, ME. I then headed to Longhorn with Jake for a late lunch, and to Target for a few essentials. After chilling in my room for the late afternoon, the boys and I made our way to downtown Keene to the Colonial Theatre (above). As we parked and I made my way to take some pictures of the theatre's marquee, I realized I had played the theatre before on my A Christmas Carol tour years before. I just couldn't remember how long it had been exactly. After speaking to one of the ushers, it turns out in had been just about 9 years; our tour had come through in 2006 and she remembered it vividly. I remembered in part because of the record store nearby, Turn It Up! that I had visited the last time. Now, the theatre was easily the smallest we have played with MDQ, and because of that Briggs had been working hard for weeks to alter the lighting plot, as they were unable to hang our moving lights. Though it certainly looked different, it looked pretty amazing from our vantage point, and I am sure the audience would have had no idea. Kudos, Briggs. The show went extremely well that night considering the theatre's technical limitations, and following that I headed out with Colte, Skye, Aly and Frace for a bit in Keene's adorable downtown. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday was a day I had been looking forward to for quite some time. I hadn't performed in my home state of Maine for just about 11 years. And I was going to have a slew of family, friends, family friends, and a lot of people I hadn't seen in years at the two shows in Portland. We made the drive from Keene that morning and arrived in the late morning at our hotel in South Portland. The whirlwind had just begun. After settling in for a bit, I brought Gabe and Colte to one of my favorite places, The Sea Dog, for a bite to eat before our matinee and sound check. They were quite pleased with the food, and after a stop at Starbucks, we made our way downtown. The snow had begun to fall as we parked at the Merrill Auditorium (above), and I could already feel the pressure of the busy day. I had only been an audience member at the Merrill on a few occasions; for the Nutcracker when I was younger, and 2 years ago with my parents for the Magic Of Christmas. So, I was very much looking forward to performing in front of the closest thing I will ever have to a home town crowd. We were pretty blown away by the audience's reaction! I had a HUGE group of people out there; extended family, my brother and my parents, their friends, high school friends (Jadine and I above), and even my dentist! It was so great to have everyone there, even if the short amount of time proved to be a bit stressful. Along with all the visitors, in between shows was also the time for the crew to make a big announcement. For much of the week prior, the cast and I had been working hard to fill out a "How Well Do You Know Your Crew" questionnaire; all sorts of random questions about their backgrounds, tattoos, etc. The winner would have the opportunity to ride on the crew bus with them into Wabash, IN the following week. I thought I had a relatively good chance, but also thought I probably wouldn't win. In the end, Colte was the lucky one. Congrats, brother! More on that experience next week. So, in between shows in Portland with the snow coming down in sheets, I opted to stay at the theatre in order to get a few things out of my trunk to give to my parents. The break went quickly, and before I knew it I was on stage in front of another huge group of friends and family. Another great show followed, and I met with my group after the show in the lobby. With the roads being so bad, I opted to meet some of the cast with my brother, my friend from my days of Broadway World Reviewing, Audra, and my high school friend Erin. Gabe had played Portland years ago, and had raved about an oyster house, J's Oyster Bar. So, we made our way through the snow drifts to join them. It was certainly a mish mosh of people, but we had a really great time. I was beat, so Rick and I headed back to the hotel for some brotherly time, just talking about all that had been going on with us. </div>

Thankfully we had a pretty late call on Sunday for our drive to Bangor, so I was able to sleep in a bit. We made our way right past the exit to my house, and past the FBI (Freeport Big Indian), all the way up to Bangor. It was great to arrive with more than enough time to chill, eat and enjoy some quiet time. I ordered Chinese take out, and just as it arrived, so did my parents! So, we sat and talked while I ate, and looked forward to sharing the evening together. The boys and I made our way to the Cross Insurance Center (above), formerly the Bangor Auditorium that night for the show. I had been to the BA quite a few times to watch basketball tournaments, so it was very interesting to be playing there. It was a pretty full crowd, and the show went extremely well! Afterward I met up with my parents as well as the artistic director of the Penobscot Theatre in Bangor; we had been in touch quite a bit about a slew of things, so it was nice to finally put a face to a name. And pretty soon I may even have some good news to announce.....My parents and I headed back to the hotel to take a load off and watch the Oscars. Then, it was time to rest for yet another long week ahead. </div>

Well, that's it for the week! It was a long one, but great in the end. Quite a few more cities and stories to follow in my next couple of blogs, leading us into our first break of tour! So, keep your eyes peeled for more news from the road! </div>

Hey kids! I hope everyone is staying warm in these frigid temperatures! Seems like no matter where we or are friends are, everyone is getting smacked with winter weather. These week took us across the border into Canada, and to 3 other cities along the way. As usual, we are busy, busy, busy, but here's what we have been up to!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After our frigid day off in Rochester, we boarded the bus on Tuesday to make our way to Kitchener, ON. We had very little trouble crossing the border thankfully, and after a quick stop at a welcome center for food, we made the rest of our way to our final destination. We got in in the late afternoon, and were pleased to find we were staying at a sparkling clean, almost brand new hotel. I braved the cold weather to walk to a lovely little coffee shop, and laid low for a while before Frace and Justin shuttled us to the theatre for the first of two shows at the Centre In The Square (above). The show went quite well, and we were impressed from the response of the crowd. Later, a few of us headed to a place across from our hotel, Crabby Joe's for a bit and a little wind down. Some friends of friends were there to meet Jake, Brad and I (they took the picture above), so it was a nice night of hanging out and meeting some new people. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wednesday brought Thunderstudy rehearsal, so I made my way to the theatre with everyone to do one of the first runs they have been able to do as a group on stage in quite a while. It all went extremely well, and following the show I got a lovely grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup near our hotel. I got a little cat nap in, and then it was time to make our way back to the theatre for our evening show. Another great audience followed, and the majority of us met back at Crabby's for a bite to eat and cocktail before heading to bed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thursday morning came quite early, and we made our way on the bus back into the states. I have to say, though I enjoy traveling, it's always nice to come back to the states. We made a quick stop at the duty free shop on the border, where I was dumbfounded by the GIANT bottle of Jameson they had (above). I later learned that Lou bought one....glad someone didn't let it go to waste. The drive took most of the day and we didn't get into Bethlehem until the evening. Our old standby, Ruby Tuesday was a short walk away, so I headed there for a bite once I had settled in, and then hung out with some of the boys that night before getting some rest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Years ago I had visited the Martin Guitar Factory (above) in Nazareth, PA, and given that we were so close to it with time off, I wrangled a few people to join me on Friday afternoon. I did an interview for the Bangor Daily News, one of my home state's papers, and then David, Skye, Jake, Frace and Bradley headed with me to the factory. They had quite a few people waiting for tours, so we opted to go get lunch while we waited. We headed back, browsed the gift shop for a bit, and were on our tour in no time. The love and craftsmanship that goes into making their guitars is pretty amazing. We even got to see the beginnings of the D-100 (above); each guitar sells for $100,000. After taking the hour tour, we visited the museum in the lobby and then headed home. Everyone was glad we had been able to take the trip, and we headed home for a bit of a rest before the show that evening. Another great audience greeted us in Bethlehem at the Zoellner Arts Center (above), and we had a very pleasant meet and greet after with quite a few of the patrons. Then, it was time to head home for some rest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday brought another busy day with a drive into a double, as we made our way to New Brunswick, NJ. Once settled, we had a bit of time to find food and head to the State Theatre (above) for the first of two shows amidst a snow storm (what else is new). The matinee went very well, (despite the fact that NJ isn't exactly my favorite state) and in between shows we were all invited to join one of our producers, Erica for a meal. The snow continued, and though I wanted to join everyone, I opted to get some Chipotle with Jake and head back to the hotel for a moment of rest and to get some things to put in my trunk. We headed back to the theatre for the evening show, and after another great one, we had a meet and greet with some familiar faces (above). After driving through a legitimate blizzard to get back to the hotel, all I had in mind was a bite to eat at YET ANOTHER Ruby Tuesday, and to stay out of the bitter cold. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last day of our week started with us awaking to -15 degree temperatures for our drive to Brookeville, NY on Long Island. We were all a bit teased by the fact that we drove through New York City (above) on our way, and certainly made most of us miss the city. We landed at our hotel and were greeted with howling winds and equally bitter cold. I walked close by to get some dinner at a diner, and after a bit of a nap we all piled in three cars and headed to The Tilles Center For The Performing Arts (above) for our one and only show there. It was a surprisingly good show, despite an arena-like venue that had some technical limitations. Following the show most of us braved the cold with some cast member's friends in tow for a bite to eat at the diner close by. Then it was time to hibernate and stay out of the negative temperatures. </div>

It was another busy week friends, and the next proves to be the same. I am finishing this blog from the comfort of my hotel room in Bangor, ME after a challenging and long week. I hope this finds you all well, and that you will tune in to see my next blog! Thanks for reading! </div>

Hello everyone! Our whirlwind tour of the US continues with a lot of travel and quite a few more cities. Thankfully we were able to let loose a bit before our stressful week! Here are the highlights!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After our long travel day from Lubbock on Sunday, we checked into our hotel and had a bit of time to settle before our bus driver was nice enough to shuttle us to the Dockside Cafe Oyster Bar (above), where Anna was nice enough to get us a group reservation. Nearly the entire cast and company management took part, as we feasted on oysters, a crawfish boil, and other delectable sea food offerings. It was great to have a night where we could all enjoy each other's company and not have a show that night. My Patriots won (YES!!!!) the hard fought game, and along the way we had a great time just letting loose and hanging out. Our bus driver shuttled us back to the hotel later in the evening, and a few of us hung out at the hotel before getting an early night's sleep. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a long night, I laid pretty low on Monday. A nice salad and soup at Ruby Tuesday's in the hotel parking lot, and some time to myself in my room. The boys and I made our way to the Mattie Kelly Arts Center (above) that night, and we had yet another amazing show in the southland that night. Following the show I had a bite to eat with Chuck and Anna at Ruby's, and then joined Gabe, Laura, Colte and Patrick to watch the tail end of Birdman, a fantastic film that I saw in the theatre a few months ago. Then, it was time for bed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tuesday was....well...interesting. We woke up in the morning in anticipation of our moderate drive to Valdosta that day, and got on the bus as usual. It didn't take long to realize something was amiss; at the back of the bus, people were finding cockroaches crawling all over the place. Bradley (above) even found one crawling in his hair.....So, we quickly removed everything from the bus, shook out our belongings to make sure we weren't taking any critters with us, and waited to find out our fate. After some diligent work by our company management, they rented us vans to make the drive to Valdosta on our own. And after the stress of the insects, the long wait, and the impending show that evening, we were all more than willing to take the travel day into our own hands. So, after people volunteered to drive, Bryan, Laura and I jumped in a van with Patrick as our driver, and made our way to Georgia. With some great tunes and better company, the drive didn't really take long at all. But because of our late start and the need to stop for food, we got in with little time to be had at the hotel. After settling a bit, we headed back out in the same groups and cars to the Mathis City Auditorium (above) for our meeting, sound check and the one show in Valdosta. The crowd seemed a bit reserved, but we could tell they loved it when we spoke to quite a few of them at a meet a greet in the lobby afterward. And Skye was asked to go on at the very last minute as Elvis, and as he had in his debut, absolutely rocked it out. The board was even nice enough to give us a tin of chocolates before the show. It's always nice to feel welcomed. A group of us walked to Applebee's for a bite after the show, and then home shortly after. It had been a damn long day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yet another drive into a one-nighter awaited us on Wednesday, as we made our way back to the Sunshine State for one show in Lakeland at the Lakeland Center (above). After settling in for a bit and a quick trip to Waffle House, I headed with the boys to the theatre. And, just in the nick of time, we had an amazing audience that night. It was just the thing to lift our spirits after a couple of rough days. Chuck had some friends in town, and I had a couple of new friends see the show, so they all joined us at the bar in the hotel for a bit. Then it was off to bed for the early call in the morning. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thursday brought a long travel day with multiple busses and planes to get us to Buffalo, NY. And the cold that awaited us was anything but welcome. But, it was something we were going to have to get used to again. I braved the cold with Chuck, Anna, Jeffrey and Justin to go to Darcy McGee's Irish Pub for dinner, and not only was it freezing there, but it was one of the worst places any of us had eaten in quite some time. We couldn't have gotten out of there fast enough. Once we did, I hibernated in my room for a bit before joining the cast and crew at TGI Friday's in our hotel lobby for a night cap. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up extremely early on Friday to meet Jake in the lobby of the hotel for some local press. Unfortunately, the bitter cold mixed with yet another massive amount of snow threw a monkey wrench into the day's plans. Our press rep was late picking us up because of the terrible commute, and once we left the hotel it was nearly impossible for us to get where we needed to be on time. So, we turned around, made a stop at Starbucks and headed back to the hotel. I would have gone right back to sleep if it hadn't been for an interview with the Portland Press Herald (Maine) that I had very much been looking forward to. After a nap and a bite at TGI, it was time to walk to the beautiful Shea's Performing Arts Center (above) for our first show. We had played the same venue in the first year of tour, and it is easily one of the most gorgeous theatres I have ever had the pleasure of performing in. Opening night went extremely well, and afterward most people went in 7 different directions. I joined the some of the cast and crew at TGI for a few, before heading to a place called the Lodge to meet up with Jimmy, Skye, Frace, Aly and Bryan, and I had Gabe, Bradley and Patrick in tow. While there, Skye won an amazing 12 out of 15 games of skee ball, all resulting in a free drink for one of his chums. And, there was an AMAZING cover band playing, fronted by my new friend Jeremy Hoyle; he did a few of Cash' songs from the American era, and I was so taken by the exactness of his vocals, I HAD to meet him. We talked for quite a bit, and I am glad to now call him another great friend in the world of Cash. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday brought an uncharacteristic 4 pm matinee, so I laid low for much of the day before grabbing a coffee and a sandwich. Both shows went extremely well, not the least of which was Bradley's first show as Carl this year for the matinee. He looked as if he had been doing the show every day since last year. In between shows I opted to stay at the theatre to do some much needed laundry. Following our last night at Shea's, I grabbed a bit at TGI and got some much needed early sleep. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another snow storm met us on Sunday as we made the short drive to Rochester. Our amazing crew had a 5 am load in just to get the set ready for the two shows that awaited us, and I could tell the long week was starting to wear on us all. Despite the frigid temps and the buckets of snow falling, it was nice to be back at the Rochester Auditorium (above), after it having been our second stop on the first year of tour. Cash had a pretty famous performance there in the late 60's, and I could definitely feel his presence and good vibes pushing me through the two shows. I ordered Jimmy John's with Colte in between and opted to shelter myself from the storm, and ended up having a great conversation about music, Cash, and a whole lot of other stuff with Jake. The night ended well as some of us headed to the hotel bar for a well deserved cocktail after a brutal week. And, the day off ahead of us was well worth the wait; as the snow continued, most of us stayed in for the duration. The rest was exactly what we all needed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, that it's for our week jumping all around the east coast! Stay tuned for the next installment that should be on it's way in just a couple of days! Stay warm y'all! It's a doozy out there! </div>

Hello everyone! Sorry for another "late" posting, but the busy schedule continues for the cast and crew out here on the road. We've had some great houses, met some awesome people, and travelled MANY miles in the last couple of weeks. So, here are the events of our week in Texas! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Things certainly started off with a bang on Monday morning, as we woke up for our earliest bus call yet to leave Scranton. Thrown into the mix was the fact that the first of our flights to get us to Texas had been cancelled the night before, so our company managers were working diligently to find us a flight alternative. The snow was falling in sheets as we departed from the Electric City en route to LaGuardia International outside of New York City. It was slow going the whole way, and by the time we made it there, we barely had time to check in to make the flight. And the way it was looking, flights were being cancelled left and right because of the impending storm. Miraculously, we made it through security and to the gate with time to spare. Unfortunately, through ticket problems and the time crunch, Skye and Bradley didn't make it through....so we departed for Dallas knowing that they were being left behind in the storm. A long flight followed, and we landed in Dallas, very much appreciative of being on solid, snow-less ground. It was a couple of hours from Dallas to our final destination in Abilene, so we made a pit stop at a mall in Arlington before continuing on. We arrived in the evening, and after checking in, quite a few of us met across the street at a place called Fuzzy's for margaritas and Mexican food. Gabe and I had early press the next morning, so we called it a night pretty early on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Quick and painless, Gabe and I did a couple of tv and radio interviews on Tuesday morning before heading back to the hotel to rest for most of the day. I only ventured out for food and a quick trip to Target before getting ready for the show that evening. We were a bit away from the theatre, so me and the boys jumped in our rental car and headed out in the early evening. We were looking forward to our only show in Abilene at the Abilene Civic Center (above), and the audience didn't dissapoint; they were raucous, appreciative and vocal the entire night. After chatting with a few fans following the performance, me and the boys headed home. A quick stop at Fuzzy's and a YouTube viewing rabbit hole in Patrick's room, and I was ready to call it a night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Amarillo was our next stop on Wednesday, and thankfully it was not only a pretty short drive, but not too early a call for us. After settling in and chilling at the hotel for a bit, in a change from the norm we were bussed as a group to the theatre. We were a bit isolated at the hotel, but there were a few options for food around. So, after another great reception from a Texas crowd and the Amarillo Civic Center (above), I headed to Applebee's (slowly becoming the go to hang for us) with Jimmy, Frace, Gabe, Colte and our bus driver James, who was nice enough to drive us there and back. Earlier in the day, I was excited to receive a boxed set of Johnny Cash's Sun era outtakes, and I planned to devour them after a little nosh at the Bee's. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The weather turned quite cold on Thursday, so rather than explore too much I decided to lay low before our final show in Amarillo that night. Thankfully, Skye and Bradley were finally able to get out of NYC and rejoined us that evening. Another great show followed, and a large group of us were driven again by James to my LEAST favorite restaurant on earth (no, I am NOT being sarcastic), Hooters. We did have a great time though, and James was nice enough to drive us back to the hotel yet again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A late call and a short drive awaited us on Friday, as we made our way to the final stop of the week, Lubbock. I had never been there, and I was very much looking forward to drinking in the music history of the town, specifically that of Buddy Holly and the Crickets. Shortly after arriving, I arranged to rent a car for myself, allowing me and anyone who wanted to join me to head to the Buddy Holly Center the following day. After picking up my car and a quick bite to eat, we jumped back on the bus to head to the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center (above) for the first of 3 shows. Yet again, we were blown away by the response we were getting in Texas, and despite the unseasonably chilly weather, we were having a blast. Quite a few of us headed to, you guessed it, Applebee's after the show that night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up early on Saturday in order to have enough time to see all I could at the Buddy Holly Center, and was joined on my adventure by Frace, Bradley and Jake (pictured above). Though the museum was moderately small, they did have a great documentary film about Buddy and the events of his life and death. They also had one of his much sought after Fender Stratocasters, and in a creepy turn, the very glasses he was wearing when his plane crashed (above). We also got to take a quick tour of Jerry Allison's house; the drummer for the Crickets, whose house was used for most of their rehearsals and songwriting in their early days. Following that, we headed out to the City of Lubbock Cemetery to pay our respects at Buddy's grave (above). All in all, it was a great trip, even though it was bitterly cold and rainy. After a quick meal, I drove the boys to the theatre for the first of two shows that day. Another great audience greeted us, and in between shows I laid low and napped for a bit before our final show in Lubbock. They sent us out of town in style with another fantastic audience. That night I was so tired from the events of the day that I opted to stay in and not venture out with the cast, some of whom had an epic night of karaoke at....of all places....Applebee's. It was nice to have a night to myself to prepare for yet another busy week. </div>

Well, there you have it kids. In the next few days I will hopefully be following this blog with the events of the week that started with a flight to Florida, and my Patriots winning the Super Bowl! I hope everyone is staying warm out there, and thanks for reading! </div>

Hello everyone! I hope these last couple of weeks have been great for y'all! Our cast and crew have been pretty busy, transversing this country spreading rock n' roll wherever we go. Here are the highlights!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First and foremost, I would love to introduce you to our amazing and tireless crew. Almost all of them are new to MDQ, save Dani Taylor (who was our Advance Carpenter last year and takes over as Head Carp this year) and good old Corey Kloos (Props, and keeps our guitars looking and sounding good). We welcome BJ Foreman (Production Stage Manager), Andrew Bacigalupo (Assistant Stage Manager), Jeffrey Mensch (Company Manager), Justin Gleiberman (Assistant Company Manager), Eric Briggs (Master Electrician), Mary Anderson (Electrics/spot op), Anthony Jones (Head sound), Rachael Koss (Assistant sound), Megan Moore (Wardrobe), John Panicello (Electrics/sound swing), and Louis Riquelme (Advance carpenter). They are an amazing group of people; their schedule is hellish, but they have been doing a fantastic job each and every day. Though we haven't been able to hang out much because of their long hours, we look forward to the times when we can. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We arrived in Wheeling on Sunday evening, and found that there was very little open near our hotel. Thankfully, there was a hotel bar, and they were playing the final two playoff games of the NFL season before the Super Bowl. So, after getting settled and laying low a bit, I ordered a pizza from Papa John's and joined almost the entire cast and crew downstairs to watch my Patriots win the AFC title game! We had a great night hanging out, talking, playing music on the juke box and just letting loose a bit. One of the few but memorable times we got to spend some quality time with the crew. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had most of the day on Monday to wander a bit, as we didn't have a show that evening and our crew didn't have to load in. I woke up a little late and wandered around the town taking pictures of some of the wonderful (above), yet crumbling architecture. After a coffee and a leisurely walk along the river, I headed toward our theatre and walked across the bridge (above) over the Ohio River, to Wheeling Island. There were some beautiful historic houses along the river there, and after taking some pictures I headed to the Wheeling Island Casino and Racetrack to play some slots. After losing a bit of money (don't worry mom and dad...not THAT much) and grabbing some food, I made the chilly walk back across the river (and one of the first suspension bridges of it's kind, the archetype for the Brooklyn Bridge) to our hotel. After a bit of time there, I met a few of the cast at the Bridge Tavern, a stone's throw from the bridge and our theatre. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tuesday brought a pretty rough load in for the crew, meanwhile much of the cast laid low. I had a phone interview for an upcoming market, and then wandered a bit taking some more pictures and stopping for a quick lunch. As the day progressed, we all met at the Capitol Theatre (above) for our only show in town. We were pretty blown away by the crowd in Wheeling, but there was ONE little catch; we had a "friend" on stage with us the entire night. A bat had apparently been trapped in the theatre, and it flew all over the stage and audience for the entirety of the show. I wish I could say this was the first time I have experienced such a thing, but on my Christmas Carol tour (2003, I think?) we had a bat on stage with us on the campus of Mizzou. That time, the bat was dive bombing actors onstage, so thankfully that is where my bat experiences differ. I digress. After the show we stopped back at the Bridge Tavern for a bite and a drink. Some of the audience were there, and were nice enough to invite Gabe, Bradley and I to their private Moose Lodge club for a night cap after the Tavern. All in all it was a great night. It's always so nice to meet kind, giving people when were are in a town. It always makes the experience that much more memorable and pleasant. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We made the early drive to Richmond, KY the next morning, and once we got there I moved in and laid low at the hotel. We were a bit isolated, so there wasn't much to do around anyway. The boys and I drove to the EKU Center for the Arts that evening for yet another one nighter. Yet again, we were met with cheers and standing ovations from another great crowd. Our AEA rep was there, and after a couple of stops for groceries on the way home, much of our group convened in the pool area to talk shop with her, and just hang out in the balmy chlorine filled air. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another early bus call greeted us on Thursday morning, as we headed back to West Virginia to Morgantown, home of West Virginia University. We were sad to not have more time there, as the downtown was quaint and college influenced. We made our way through some terrible traffic to the other side of town for our one show in Morgantown that evening at the WVU Creative Arts Center (above). Another great show followed, and following that we headed to a local bar, the Boston Beanery for a bit afterward; all the while watching college kids in clothing a bit skimpy for tropical temperatures head from bar to bar and club to club. Ah, to be young and foolish again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Friday brought a mid morning drive to the Electric City, Scranton, PA and a much awaited multiple show city. It was quite chilly there, and most of us laid low before our first show. The downtown was quite lovely, and I looked forward to taking pictures in town during the weekend. Because it was our first long weekend in a place after some hectic weeks, most people had their significant others in town, lifting everyones' spirits after a rough couple of days. The Scranton Cultural Arts Center (above) is housed in a beautiful and historic Masonic Temple; not the usual venue for our show, though it brought back thoughts of Indianapolis and our stay there in our first year. Following another great opening show with David on as Brother Jay, most of us met in the hotel lobby for a bite to eat. The snow began to fall, and quite a few of us headed to the Backyard Ale House for a bit. By the time we left, there was a sizable amount of snow on the ground. We slipped and slid the whole walk home and bundled up for the night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With about a foot of snow on the ground the next morning, I walked around taking pictures of the buildings and monuments close by (above) before grabbing a coffee, a hoagie and heading to the theatre for the first of two shows. We taped a quick video shout out for our upcoming repeat stop at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis, before welcoming Aly to the stage to make her debut as Dyanne! She did a fantastic job as expected, and following the show we both greeted our friend Jess and her husband; the three of us had done The Unsinkable Molly Brown together, shortly before I was cast in MDQ. In between shows I tried to get some rest, and then headed back for another great show and a meet and greet next to the theatre with members of the board, audience and other VIP's. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday brought but one show, and before heading to the theatre, I got my usual coffee and bite to eat. The closing show went extremely well, as we welcomed Skye to make his debut as Elvis! He had just gotten word that morning that he would be on, and despite the last minute news he killed it. His professionalism and vast stage experience spoke for themselves. Following that, Skye, Gabe, Laura and I did a talkback with some high school drama students from Lancaster, PA. After some amazing questions, group pictures and signatures, we headed back to the hotel and went our separate ways. It had been a long week, indeed. I personally took a lengthy nap that evening before grabbing some food at the hotel restaurant, and prepared for the early morning to come. Little did we know at the time that we were in for quite an adventure.....but that, my friends is for next week's blog. </div>

Hello, folks and welcome back to my blog! It's been a busy couple of weeks, so I am just now getting to post this blog. I hope everyone has been having a good couple of weeks and staying warm in the frigid weather. Here's what we have been up to on the MDQ National Tour! </div>

The week started off with an interesting twist as we made our way from Worcester. We took a drive on the bus to Hartford, CT to fly into Atlanta. Our flight was delayed a bit, but thankfully we didn't have any connections, so it didn't effect our travel too much. Once we landed in ATL, it was a bit of a wait for our bus to arrive, so some of us got food and chatted while we waited. The bus arrived, we loaded everything up, and not more than 10 minutes later we had broken down on the side of the road. It seems there was a problem with the engine, but thankfully we were close to where the busses were kept. We did have to wait about 45 minutes for a new one, so most of us got off the bus and stood out on the countryside (see the picture of Frace above). We finally got back on our way, and arrived in Macon in the evening. After getting settled and getting our rental cars I headed to Carraba's with Patrick, Colte, Laura, Skye, Jimmy and Gabe. We chatted about theatre horror stories, all of our collective experiences with MDQ, and just generally had a great time. Following dinner, a few us hung out that evening at the hotel. </div>

Tuesday came, and thankfully we didn't have to be up early. I slept in, and early in the afternoon greeted my dear friend Kira who came into town to see the show. After a quick dinner, I headed to the theatre with the boys for opening night. The Grand Opera House (above) was a gorgeous space, and the show sounded fantastic in it. Following the show, the cast and crew headed to Buffalo Wild Wings, accompanied by Kira and another friend Whitney who had performed with me in Mary Poppins. After some food and merriment, we all headed back to the hotel to hang out for the rest of the evening. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wednesday was surprisingly cold, but it didn't stop me from heading to downtown for pictures of some of the amazing architecture, a journey to the park that houses the Otis Redding statue pictured above, and also for some amazing southern home cookin' at a Georgia landmark, H & H Restaurant. Made famous by the Allman Brothers, it was a great little place to get a bit at. That night the boys and I headed back to the theatre for another great show with an audience to match. With an early call the next day, most of us laid low after a quick hang out after the show. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We made our way to Pembroke, NC on Thursday, and after a bit of time at the hotel we headed for our one show on the campus of UNC Pembroke, at the Givens Performing Arts Center (above). It was a bit of a different show for us, given that it would mark the first time we wouldn't have our show drop, and our finale coats didn't fly in. It was, however a great show, and the audience was fantastic. Following the show we all went back to the hotel for a bit of a hang before another early bus ride in the morning. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We embarked on Friday morning for Richmond, VA and arrived in the mid afternoon. I walked around a bit after we got in, and took pictures of a few of the buildings, and particularly the amazing facade of the Altria Theater (above). After a quick bit at Jimmy John's, I walked to the theatre to bask in yet another beautiful house. Colte hadn't been feeling well, so Jimmy got the chance to go on for the first time on this leg of tour. Also, Chuck had a bit of a problem with his bass... the bridge completely cracked, and he had to cart the entire thing off stage. Thankfully our crew was on top of it, so he miraculously got the back up bass wired and walked back in the studio just in time to play his solo shortly before we sing Peace in the Valley. Other than that, our opening there went splendidly, and most of us headed to the gorgeous Jefferson Hotel (above) close to our hotel for a bite that evening. I was joined by my friend Trish who played Mary Poppins! She was in the area on the tour she is currently doing, so it was nice to spend some time with her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was swung out on Saturday at the matinee, so it gave me a bit of time to stand back and watch Frace rock it out as Cash, and gave me the chance to do some much needed laundry. Trish and I grabbed dinner at Penny Lane (a suggestion from a high school friend of mine); a nice little British pub, slathered in Beatles memorabilia. Trish watched the show that night (no bass issues this time), and most of us headed back to Penny Lane that night for a bite and a cocktail. In between shows, I was asked to use my camera to recreate a couple of pictures (above). One of the guys on the local crew let Jake know that a couple of famous pictures of Elvis in Vanity Fair had indeed been taken in a stairwell at the Altria. So, we waited for the light to be right, and I did my best to recreate the angles and poses. I think they turned out pretty great, but then again, I had a lot to work with with my friends involved. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a few busy weeks, we were all glad that Sunday brought a drive to Wheeling, WV, but thankfully not a show. Once we got in that evening, most of us went down to the hotel bar to watch the two NFL playoff games that were on. After a yummy pizza from Papa John's and a hang with the cast and crew, I was ready for bed. It was time for a day off. </div>

When last I wrote, our tour friends parted and went our several ways after our 3 week stint in Cleveland. I headed to NYC for a couple of days before heading to Maine to leave my car and the bulk of my things, in which time I filmed an audition for Boardwalk Empire. I got back to the city and got the news that I had gotten it! So, within my first few official days subletting in the city, I was out in Far Rockaway shooting what would become the final episode of the entire series of HBO's Boardwalk Empire! It was an eye opening, frightening and exciting experience. Now that the final season (season 5) has been released on DVD and BluRay, I hope you will check it out! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Following that, I spent the majority of my time in the city auditioning for various TV shows, Broadway shows, tours and regional theatre. The audition scene was a little bleak this fall, but I didn't let it get me down. It allowed me the chance to see quite a few Broadway shows (Hedwig And The Angry Inch, The Last Ship, Bullets Over Broadway, Rocky, On The Town, Les Miserables, Revolution In The Elbow Of Ragnar Agnarsson Furniture Painter, Cabaret, Beautiful, Violet, and A Piece Of My Heart) and to catch a few gigs of MDQ alums Billy Woodward and Dan Mills. I may not have been performing, but there certainly wasn't a shortage of learning experiences through performing. </div>

I left NYC shortly before Halloween to venture home, after a nice visit with Georgia and my friends on the Mamma Mia National Tour in Boston. I enjoyed the comforts of home and some time with my family before making my way south to one of my many theatre homes away from home, The Springer Opera House in Columbus, GA. I was given the opportunity to return to the Springer to play Mr. Banks in Mary Poppins (I had previously played Orin in Little Shop of Horrors between our 3 week stop in Tokyo and Osaka, and the start of Year 2 in Orlando). Overall it was a great experience as usual, and allowed me to spread my theatrical wings a bit with a challenging role quite different from what I have been doing for the majority of the last 3 years. Following our closing, I had a surprise chance to head home again for the holidays; it had been 13 years since I had been at home for Christmas the year prior, and not having power for 5 days didn't exactly make it the most "cozy" holidays. So, I was glad to be home with my family in the warmth of our home this year. After a nice New Year's Eve celebration with my parents and family friends, I made my way back to tour on the 1st of the year. </div>

This year was a bit different, in that with all of the returning/experienced members of the cast, we headed straight to York, PA for rehearsals and tech rather than spend a couple of weeks in NYC rehearsing. Shortly after arriving in York I met up with my boys and met the new folks at one of our favorite places from the previous year, The White Rose. There are so many new folks to introduce you to! Frace, Jimmy David and Bradley are all back to anchor our solid core of understudies, with the additions of Skye Scott (understudying Elvis, with a vast amount of theatre experience, most notably with the Jersey Boys National Tour) and Aly Bloom (understudying Dyanne; she also has a deep resume, having been with Rock Of Ages in Las Vegas. We worked together when I was taking my many train trips back and forth from Lancaster, PA to NYC to audition for MDQ in The Unsinkable Molly Brown). Patrick returns as the rock of our rhythm section as Fluke. Coming back for a full tour after his 2 day stint as Jerry Lee is my dear friend (since I understudied him in Footloose 5 years ago) is Colte Julian (pictured as Jerry Lee above). He has been the JLL understudy in Chicago for quite a few years, and it is great to have him out on the road playing the role full time. Also veteran understudies turned principles from the Windy City are Laura Obenauf as Dyanne and another dear friend, Gabe Bowling as Carl Perkins. Chuck Zayas returns to us after his departure in Ft. Lauderdale at the beginning of Year 2 as Brother Jay (he also played the role for numerous years in Chicago). The two brand new members of the performing cast are Bryan Langlitz as Sam Phillips (another lengthy resume, including the Memphis 1st National Tour) and Jacob Rowley as Elvis; the youngest member of our group, who has been making a name for himself in the Elvis Tribute Artist community with his eerily accurate Elvis performance. Man, are you going to love this dude. </div>

We all convened for rehearsal on January 2nd at the familiar Pullo Center in York. Bryan, Aly, Skye and Jake all had a crash course in MDQ with Scott (pictured above), Rob Lyons and the Vegas cast prior to Christmas, so they were well versed in the Quartet vernacular when they arrived for our first rehearsals. We started right in and started running all of the music with our fearless rockabilly guru Chuck Mead (see picture with me above), and even started working some of the scenes on the very first day. By day 3, we were working the show from top to bottom and before we knew it, we were on stage with lights and sound. After a few runs and a short tech period (and, and introduction to our almost entirely new crew; I will save THOSE introductions for another time) in which our new crew did an AMAZING job at learning our show from the ground up, we had an invited dress. I was glad to have been able to invite quite a few friends from the area and from my years at the Dutch Apple in Lancaster to help round out the audience. Our first performance with an audience was a success, and it was time to make our first group trip to our opening city, Worcester, MA. </div>

The temperatures had turned frigid across the bulk of the US, and the northeast was no exception. The single digit temperatures on our drive and the next few days proved challenging for all of us, certainly not the least of which was our amazing crew that had to brave the elements for their first load in. After a brief rehearsal and press photo shoot, I met my parents at our hotel. I was overjoyed to be able to share opening night with them yet again, and to be so close to home. The boys, m'am and I made our way to the Hanover Theatre (above) for opening night. We were blown away by the response of the crowd, and we knew that we were finally ready to be on the road. A nice opening night at Mezcal close to our hotel followed, and it was official; MDQ is back!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The subsequent shows in our opening weekend continued to get bette and better, as our familiarity with each other and the show grew. No offense to ANY of my past MDQ brethren, of whom I love, but I think this may be the strongest group we have had yet. And it bodes well for our stint of one nighters and limited engagements in the next 6 months. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As the first week ends, the Million Dollar Quartet 1st National Tour has done 841 performances in 133 cities (not including repeated venues/cities); 327 shows for me as Johnny Cash, and 352 performances for me on tour overall (it's been nearly 2 years since I played Sam Phillips). We are off to a great start, and I can't wait to start the adventure. Here's to us!! Thanks for tuning in, and please keep a lookout for my blog next week! Stay warm, and have a great week! </div>

Hello everyone, and welcome to my long overdue, and probably all but forgotten final installment of my blog from Year 3 of the Million Dollar Quartet 1st National Tour. Things have been pretty busy since leaving Cleveland, though it's no excuse for not writing my final installment. I myself am now "installed" in New York City; after a crazy few days at the beginning (you'll just have to wait and see why) and a few more low key days, I am now ready to finish the last blog of Year 3. As we were in Cleveland for 3 weeks, and there was a lot of not so exciting down time, I will be giving you the highlights of our time there. Not to worry. As you can see from the pictures above and videos below, there was still a good bit of excitement. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unlike any other stop on our tour, we were put up in apartments not far from our hotel. I never thought I would miss a hotel....but there were certainly some things about our new digs that left me wishing for one. The apartment I was staying in (the 2nd one; we won't even START to get into that story....) wasn't bad, per se. I was glad to have the room, but the building itself and the staff were not exactly top notch. And that's saying nothing about the neighbors.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first week brought a run through on stage that served as our sound check, as well as to bring us back to the show after 2 weeks off. All went well, and we were ready to break in our new theatre for an uncharacteristic 3 weeks. Nearly three years prior, we spent 3 weeks at the Palace Theatre when we kicked off tour, and this time we spent three at the Ohio (pictured above). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We did a few promotional events, starting with a great day for me and the boys at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and Museum (pictured above). An excellent day, and some great exposure for the four of us. We also played a live gig at Playhouse Square just a stone's throw from the Ohio (above), complete with a huge screen flashing 2 story pictures of us!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Things were certainly changing around the office. We had quite a few additions to our cast in Cleveland, having said goodbye to quite a few people in Dayton, OH. We welcomed Katie Barton, newly married, back to tour as the Dyanne understudy. David and Stephanie both stepped into the full time performing cast (Dyanne and Fluke, the drummer, respectively), and we welcomed Chris Johnson as the new Fluke understudy (he spent quite a while with the show off-Broadway) and in the second week, Michael Goodman joined us as the new Elvis understudy (see my Peoria blog; he joined us for all of 5 hours in the aftermath of the Polar Vortex, as an emergency possibility if James had not made it to town in time). We also gained a new company manager in Carol Oune. Even with all of these changes, there were some things that had never changed. There were only 7 of us left from the first go around in Cleveland; and that's including the cast and crew. Pretty crazy to think that so many people have come and gone. In three years with the show, I have been on tour with 2 Sams, 5 Jerry Lees, 3 Carls, 2 Cashes, 3 Flukes, 2 Brother Jays, and a slew of different understudies. Definitely a new concept that it took me a while to get used to; I was so accustomed to opening and closing shows with the exact same casts. We said goodbye to Maia shortly after our Playhouse Square performance, and Dog bid us adieu following our first week. The numbers were dwindling. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What wasn't dwindling were the vast amount of birthdays we celebrated in Cleveland. I would list them all, but there were so many, I would rather not forget one and leave someone out. Along with birthday celebrations, it was cause to celebrate the performances of almost every understudy in Cleveland. And for some, more than one show. A great way to end this leg of tour for them, and a nice change of pace for the rest of us. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On a personal note, I took some nice walking tours of town and took quite a few pictures. I added a new ballpark to my list of visits (Progressive, above), and took in as many sights as I could. I bought a new MacBook Pro (from which I am typing this blog) and quite a bit of my time was spent orienting myself to the new OSX, as well as transferring a ton of information, pictures, etc. That's what rainy days are for, after all; being productive in the apartment. I also taped an audition that at this point did not pan out, and watched quite a few movies in my down time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After hearing about it for years, it was finally time to head to Cedar Point (above) and ride some of the world's finest coasters. Thankfully, we had a beautiful Monday off before the end of our run, and two car loads of folks made the hour trek to the roller coaster mecca. It was a long day, but I am proud to say the majority of us rode nearly every coaster in the park; and I know for a fact we all had a great time. If you ever in the area, it is a must see. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also toward the end of our time, I was asked by Corey and Em to be a part of their brainchild; a short film project for HBO's Project Greenlight, later titled "Blush". Katie, James and I all "starred" in this fun film, along with a bunch of our cast and crew pals in the background. It was great to be able to do something completely different (above), and also to get some experience on camera; this becomes imperative later on.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When the three weeks were all said and done, we had had a pretty good time in Cleveland. Some of the audiences were quite small, and some a bit lackluster. But we brought our A game to each and every show, and I certainly hope the people that did come see us left with a smile on their faces. After 836 shows, 132 cities (not including the repeats of Cleveland, Memphis and Washington, D.C.), I did something I never thought I would; I walked into the hallway of the studio and signed the wall, bidding farewell to the walls that had been my home for the better part of 3 years. More on that at another time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After our closing performance, we were treated to food and libations at the very same Wyndham hotel we had stayed at 3 years prior; pretty funny how things come full circle. Though we were all going our separate ways, most of us will see each other soon enough, and it will never really be "goodbye'; just "until next time". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since Cleveland, I have been quite busy. A couple of trips to Maine to visit my family, and settling officially (and long overdue, I might add; like this blog.....) in New York City. I barely had time to breathe in the smog before I landed my first, and quite surprising gig....a guest star role on Boardwalk Empire. It came at me like a whirlwind, and the shooting was a little....shall we say....stressful? My experience on camera is very limited, so if nothing else it was a learning experience. Please tune into HBO, or get HBO GO now to catch up on the series (and if you have been watching all along, good for you!!!), and tune in on September 7th at 9/8 C to see the beginning of the final season. I would tell you what episode I'm in....but where's the fun in that? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you for tuning in to my blog, and please enjoy a few videos below. It's been a lot of fun writing these blogs and keeping track of all that I have been up to these past 3 years. I will not say I am not returning to tour in January, but a lot is up in the air at this point; so I won't really know what the future holds for a bit. Please continue to follow me on Twitter (@scomoreau), Instagram (scomoreau) and on Facebook (www.facebook.com/scottmoreaumusic) in the next few months. And who knows....maybe I'll be changing the name of this blog to "Scott Moreau On Broadway". Here's hoping. Until then, I hope you all are having a great summer, and have an amazing fall!!</div>

Hello everyone, and welcome to my Dayton blog! This week was full of plenty of events, excitement, and the end of an era in MDQ tour land. Here's what happened!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Monday was a very long travel day, as we had to take a long bus ride to the airport, two planes, and another drive to get us to our hotel in Dayton. Another town, that in places, it seems time had forgotten. But, there were also quite a few nice things to see. It was a very hot day when we arrived, and after walking around for quite a while to find something nearby to eat, I round up Tyler and Robbie and headed to Smokin' BBQ, just a stone's throw from the hotel. It may have looked a little dingy from the outside, but their brisket was some of the best I have ever had. After heading back to my room and chilling there for most of the evening, Tyler joined me for a bourbon at Century Bar, one of the top 10 bourbon bars in the country. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Frace and I headed to our home for the week, the Schuster Center (above) to teach a couple of masterclasses to some young artists. My friend Gary Minyard (with me, above) had contacted the company and I months ago, asking if anyone would be willing to teach a few classes to his camp kids. We were more than willing to help, and Frace and I taught two 1 1/2 hour classes back to back that day. The students were all very engaged, and had some amazing question for us about our time on tour, and our careers in general. I always love doing that sort of outreach, so I was overjoyed that we were able to help. Following our classes, I headed back to Smokin' BBQ with Frace and his girl Haley for a bite before opening night. I tried to get in a bit of a nap, to no avail. We headed off to work that night, and had a relatively good opening night, except for one tiny little hitch; we had not one, but 2 hecklers, yelling at us each and every time one of us lit a fake cigarette. It was not only horribly distracting and rude, but I think it really detracted from the audience's enjoyment of our show. We made it through the best we could, but there were literally show-stopping moments where it was nearly impossible to go on until the screaming stopped. It was perhaps the most embarrassing and strange experiences I have ever had on stage; not one I would ever like to repeat. Brad started his week run as Carl that night as well, and I was sorry that he had to deal with that. Despite the unpleasantness, he did a great job and the show went pretty well. A few of us headed to Lucky's in the Oregon District for a bite after the show. I wasn't feeling all that well, so I only stayed for a bit; even after they forgot to put in my food order, and it took me nearly and hour to get my food. Sheesh. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The boys and I had a pretty long day of press the following morning. We did some at the theatre, and some at various TV and radio stations. It was a very productive, but long morning. And of course, we had to answer the obligatory questions about the heckler from the night before. Brad did a great job with his first press junket, but I think we were all pretty drained from the morning. Brad, John and I ate lunch with our press rep in the lobby of the theatre, before I headed home to nap before the evening show. The audience was great that night, with not a heckler in sight. I headed to the hotel restaurant for a bite before calling it a night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tyler and I had another press jaunt on Thursday morning, heading to an NPR station, and a country radio station with a stop at Young's Dairy (above) and another local restaurant, Peach, in between. It went quite well again, and after a bit of downtime another great show ensued. Our press rep arranged for a group of us to get free tickets to see the midnight showing of Jersey Boys that night, so a slew of us jumped in a cab and headed out of town to catch the flick. Having never seen the show, I was anxious to see it. I thought it was really well done, and it makes me want to see the show even more now. It was a late night, but well worth it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had had very little time to explore the area, so I made that my priority on Friday. I walked around the historic Oregon District in the heat of the day, taking pictures and even stopping in at an independent record store. I grabbed some sushi at Thai 9 before heading back to my room to regroup before heading to the Schuster to watch the camp's performance in the spacious lobby. The kids did such a great job, and there were quite of few of the cast there to cheer them on. We were more than happy to take pictures and autographs afterward, and Gary even allowed us to handle and play the array of Martin Guitars that were on display in the lobby (me, above). The weather was quite iffy that afternoon, and we were all dodging thunderstorms to and from the theatre for most of the day. The show went quite well that night with Frace on as Sam (as he would be for the rest of the weekend), and we celebrated what was to be our last weekend as a full group at the hotel bar that night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday was quite busy as usual with two shows, and I squeezed in some last minute laundry at the theatre in between. That night we took part in a post show event in the black box theatre that doubled as our jam room. Quite a few donors, board members and audience members stayed to meet us, and listen to our amazing Thunderstudies play music for quite a while. It was a lot of fun to watch them perform some tunes they had been working on for weeks, and following that, it was time to grab some food at the hotel, and also enjoy the company of our cast and crew, some of whom would be leaving us after the following day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday brought two great shows and even a visit from Ted, one of our producers. Frace did a great job again that day, and following the show that night, we said goodbye to quite a few people who would not be continuing on with us to Cleveland. Kelly, Patrick, Robby, Brian, Nicole and Matt were all done following load out that evening. Kelly, Matt and Brian have all been a part of the tour since September of 2011 when we started, so it was pretty crazy to think that they wouldn't be continuing on with us. It truly was a changing of the guard. What some people don't realize, is that when you are out on the road the way we are, especially in close quarters and with such a small group, we become much more of a family than just coworkers. And when you see someone nearly every day for a matter of years, it's hard to think you won't be seeing them again any time soon. However, it is always "til' next time" and never goodbye. We enjoyed our last few moments as a full group at the hotel that night, and grabbed a night cap at Century Bar. It was the end of an era. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We all went our several ways the next morning, with a two week layoff ahead for some, and home for the forseeable future for others. I made a 24 hour stop in NYC before heading home for much of the break. I attended to quite a few things I had been putting off for quite a while, and mixed relaxation with helping my parents with quite a few things around the house. The weeks were spent organizing, catching up on "real life", and mostly time with family and friends. I jumped in my car and headed back to NYC in order to see a couple of shows I was anxiously awaiting, and to spend some time with new and old friends. I even got to see MDQ's very own Levi Kreiss in Violet! It was a treat to see him doing so well, and give such a great performance. Then came the long road trip out here to Cleveland, and you are pretty much up to date. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, there you have my latest installment. The boys, m'am and I are out here in Cleveland for 3 weeks, and what for some may be the very last stop on their MDQ journey. I will be back for more blogging soon, so stay tuned for my final installment from the road for the year; it will be on it's way in just a couple short weeks. Thanks for reading!</div>

Hey kids! It's about time I write a few more blogs to keep you updated with all the goings on here on tour! Yes, I realize that we have moved on from these places for quite a while, but there's something to be send for looking back fondly well after an experience. And though this was a crazy week on tour, I can now look back and remember all of the high points. Here follows the events of our week in Upstate NY. </div>

We made our way from Waterbury, CT on Monday morning to the booming metropolis of Utica, NY (please read this as sarcasm). No offense to any of the cities that we have visited recently, but quite a few of them have seen better days. That said, each and every one has diamonds in the ruff to discover, not the least of which are some of the gorgeous turn of the century theatres we have had the privilege to play. After an uncharacteristic bus stop at a mall along the way, we settled into our meager hotel in the heart of downtown, just a few blocks from our theatre. After settling in, I made a short trek through dark clouds and impending rain to get dinner at the pan-Asian restaurant Lotus Garden, just a few feet from our stage door. I was quite pleased, though not with the lack of coffee establishments in town. The waitress did make me a lovely Korean coffee to go, so I was quite satisfied. Then I was off to chill in my room for much of the rest of the night. Later on, I ventured to the lobby and met up with Tyler to head to a nearby pub after a bit of a fracas in the lobby. I sampled Utica's own pilsner, Utica Club, and after talking with the bartender of Griffin's Pub for quite a while, he took Tyler and I on a tour of the bar's basement. Parts of it had been used as part of the underground railroad, and much of it had gone untouched for many many years. It was an unexpected yet awesome experience. </div>

The boys and I met downstairs on Tuesday morning for a bit of press at the nearby Saranac Brewery. Housed mostly in an old house that was the original sight of the brewery, it was a really neat place to do some interviews (see pictures above), play some acoustic tunes and even sample the wide variety of beer they make in house. We all agreed that it was perhaps the best press day EVER. We headed back to the hotel to chill a bit before opening night, and then headed to our new home for the next two nights, The Stanley. Another in a long line of gorgeous old theatres that have had sizable renovations in the past few years (see above), and a great place to house our show for a couple of nights. The crowd was quite appreciative, and so were the theatre's employees, because they threw us an opening night party at the bar next door, Swifty's. It sounded like a bit of a dive, but was actually quite nice. They had an array of food for us, and even some free drinks. After some autographs, some photo ops and some merriment, we headed home for the night. </div>

I spent much of Wednesday walking around town in a fruitless attempt to find a CVS. Thankfully I had a wonderful lunch at a quaint little restaurant downtown, and even managed to do some laundry at the theatre. After a bit of downtime in my room, I headed to work for what would prove to be an amazing show. The folks at Saranac gave us about 4 cased of beer the day before, so I invited the cast over to sample what Saranac had to offer, while listening to music and sharing our stories of the road. It was a GREAT night. </div>

Thursday brought a short drive to Elmira, NY and a bit of downtime at our hotel before heading in our rental cars to the Clemens Center (above). After a bit of unpleasantness in sound check, we had a great opening night. Maia's birthday was the following day, so she invited the cast and crew out for food and drinks that night to celebrate at a nearby pub attached to the ice arena. Nearly the entire company was there (see picture above), and we had a great time just sitting around and reminiscing. </div>

I spent much of Friday in my hotel room before heading to lunch with Tyler at a little diner called Light's Bakery. We also got a few things at the grocery store before heading back home to chill before the evening show. Another great show followed, and I had quite a few people over again to listen to music and hang out, as we are want to do often. </div>

Saturday meant a drive to New York's capitol city, Albany. We were a bit off the beaten path, but we WERE across the street from a mall. So once I got settled I headed over there for a bit of Starbucks and a trip to buy a few of the newly released cast recordings at Barnes and Noble. After a few moments in my room, the boys and I headed to the Palace Theatre (above) for what turned out to be a pretty lackluster show. They can't all be the best audience, afterall. Tyler and I grabbed a quick bite at the IHOP next door before calling it an early night. It was going to be a long day.....</div>

......because, Sunday brought a first for our cast and crew. A drive/load in into a two show day. Phew. It was an interesting one. We made the relatively short drive that morning, and arrived at the theatre to drop our bags in the loading dock. Our amazing crew had slept very little, and had the arduous task of loading in our set only a few hours after loading it out of The Palace. We had a bit of time to sit and chill before we were offered a nice catered lunch, followed by sound check, and immediately doing a matinee. The crowd was quite good, and following the show I carted my ridiculous amount of luggage a few blocks to our hotel. After cooling down and resting for a bit, it was time to head back for the early show that evening. That night would mark James' last show with us for a while, so following another great show, a bunch of us met in the hotel for some food and a bit of a goodbye to our beloved Pajama James. Not to worry, dear readers, he rejoins us after our layoff. </div>

So, there is our busy week in upstate NY, friends. Though there wasn't a lot of offstage excitement, we certainly didn't have much time to be bored. Stay tuned for my blog from Dayton, OH, and a little added bonus of my time in NYC, Maine and travels to our "last" stop in Cleveland!!</div>
