Ah - Nice and refreshed and ready to go. Its interesting how much one little day off can really recharge you in a touring situation. Its like taking a catnap during an all night study session.
Technically we had 2 full days off - but one was spent traveling from 7Am-8Pm, so I don't count it as either refreshing or a day off (lol). We left El Paso on Sunday morning and 4 airports and 2 bus rides later were finally in our hotel in Atlanta's Midtown area. The travel itself wasn't actually bad - save for the mini layover we had after we changed planes the first time. We were flying via Southwest Air - which is the equivalent to the Megabus of the skies. We had one flight from El Paso to Dallas - with an actual layover and plane switch. Then we flew from Dallas to Houston, where we stopped for about 40 minutes to let the Houston passengers off and new Atlanta (and beyond - their planes make 4 or 5 mini stops before reaching their final destination) passengers on before retaking off. During the mini layover, when we had to remain on the plane, they turned the air off (one guesses to conserve $) - so we sat in the heat for about 40 minutes waiting to go. But we did finally make it to Atlanta, which is all that really mattered.
Now, I've been to Atlanta several times - with shows, for work in other capacities, and (being from FL) for vacations. So I wasn't sure of what I wanted to do with my time off, as I've seen a majority of the 'touristy' things before. Aside from eating out for diners and lunch - I ended up not even leaving the hotel room and just watching movies and surfing the Internet all day - which was fine with me. It ended up being just what I needed too - a nice relaxing day of nothing.
Today, we drove from Atlanta to Morganton, NC for our one nighter. Nothing really spectacular to report - the audience had a good time, no major craziness with the technical aspects of the show - just an in and out. The one mentionable aspect of the theatre (which was called the Comma - City of Morganton Municipal Auditorium - lol) was this terrifying Angel/Killer Clown that was 'floating' over the Wig area of the building, sort of watching over us and will now forever haunt my dreams...
Other than that - pretty normal show. Tomorrow we head back to GA - stopping for lunch in...Atlanta (oh you tour Gods...) on our way to Columbus!
