Bonjour Ladies and Gents,In my last blog, or should I say first blog... I made a boo boo.
I said we were in Houston, but we were in Dallas.
MY baaaaad.
So moving on... We arrived in Nashville last night around 7:30pm. We were suppose to get here earlier, but our bus had a boo boo and we had to give eulogy to a tire. I, however, was asleep through all of this, so I missed the excitement... but I heard it was a heck of a time at the truck stop.
After we got into town, a bunch of us went to dinner at this great restaurant "Zola", which was recommended by the lovely and talented Jen Kuhn (one of our fellow contributors). Dinner was great, and drinks downtown were even better. We ended our night playing darts and closing down a bar, the hoping in a cab back to the bus.
Changing subjects...this picture is my favorite. this one, to my left. I have to agree with Laura that touring with girls is essential. So many feminine qualities are forgotten when the ratio exceeds 5:1.... So this tour I have to say is one of the best times I've ever had. Everyone on this tour is a good soul.
1. ALWAYS carry more underwear than you think you'll need. Chances are... you'll need it. (god knows when a good laundromat will come along)
2. When you pack, try to leave extra room. Seems we have all the time in the world to fold at the start, but it gets harder to keep organized as the trip goes on. also... for the obvious answer... you might go shopping.
3. Pack a good, and very mobile toiletry kit. It really helps when you're moving from city to city.
4. Bring a few key outfits and build around those. As you can see in the photo to my left, dresses are in abundance on this tour. They're small, easy to pack, and
easy to build around.
5. Bring pictures from home, and annoy people with blown up cat faces on your computer screen. Oh yes, I've got a giant picture of my kitty as my desktop screen.
I had a few more, but I feel like 5 is enough.
Ok, its back to bed for me :) I'm excited for the show tonight in Nashville. I'm also excited to take my mid morning nap in the hotel room.... yay for beds!
