you can take the boy off the farm

but you can't take the farm outta the boy...

tonights show is in a horse rink/grandstand/open air arena.

yes, really.

when we rolled up yesterday, i about lost my mind. there is no indoor space for dressing rooms. it's all trailers. so now i'm confused, are we shooting a movie? oh, i guess i forgot to mention that while everyone else got trailers, wardrobe didn't. they just expect us to set up between them. meanwhile it's open air, and everyone else in production is sitting in a heated trailer. yes, it's mexico, but it's been nippy the last couple of days.

am i complaining? oh no!! heaven forbid. just reporting the latest on this tour de farce that has become my life!! hehehehe we will do what we always do: make it work. at the cost of our health, sanity, and stamina.

Actually, the building is kinda cool. its set in the middle of a farm (go figure) of some mexican music star (no, i don't know who and don't really care) who had the place built on his property. it's outside the city, and i swear we could have landed the plane in the parking lot. it's huge, and it's pretty. the building itself is all white (or as white as white can be in mexico). but it's still a barn as far as i'm concerned. i don't care how many lights you put up... and i know barns, i grew up in them after all... :-)~

oh, the memories. at least the barn is clean.... or it was last night!! Now i just need to remain focused, and try to not pee on the fenceposts. but again, old habits are hard to break.

so the glamorous life continues... just wanted to share that with you all.

after tonight, we have one more mexican show, and then it's back for 3 quick shows in the cold midwest.

then, and only then do i get to come home and meet the new man of the house!

that's right. we have a new kittah!!! he looks like trouble, and i can't wait to meet him in person.

love and light to you all. sending the weak sunshine your direction!!!

Wow. Couldn't they at least put up a tent for wardrobe?

Glad you're having fun.

I want to hear all about the new boy in the house.

And there's a little something-something on the way to your place for the holidays that you and your roommate can enjoy.
