And there we had Idaho.
Apologies again for another lengthy absence, brought on this time by odd schedules and a really mean-spirited virus this week. The last two days in particular, I was basically only awake and moving for the 4 1/2 hours required for rehearsal. Fun, I assure you.
We had a nice successful week down in Idaho, where we got our first taste of familiarity this tour. All three of the preceding weeks (Pemberton, Whistler, and Puyallup) had been quite different from our experiences in the Midwest this summer. Idaho proved to a return to form, putting us in a fairly isolated farming community. Ironically, this was a corn growing community.
I also discovered the exact opposite town to Terre Haute, Indiana. Terre Haute, for the uninitiated is a horrible place to be because it smells like a hamster cage. This is due to the many paper mills in the town. We passed through Ontario, Oregon going to and from Idaho. This town is the home of the Ore-Ida plant (named for being on the Idaho/Oregon border, who knew?) and therefore smells like french fries 24/7.
We also got the chance to visit Boise on our last Saturday. Surprisingly, Boise turned out to be an awesome place. We got to sit down at a nice, classy restaurant and watch tons of adults in costume go to the clubs. By the by, I stand by my opinion that "slutty" is not a costume and "slutty ______" is a poor costume. There are plenty of legitimate costumes that are also revealing. I cite for example a very impressive Dr. Girlfriend costume.
And now we are in Wenatchee, WA. Since I'm coming out of my viral coma, I might actually know something about this city tomorrow.
