6/18/13: Shreveport, LA

The last One Nighter is over!!  Woot Woot!  Just a couple of doubles and then a week sit down to go.

I know that TECHNICALLY - the show is continuing straight through to Asia and we are really only about a 1/3 through the tour as a whole.  But in my mind, Portland signifies a big ending of a chapter - it being the end of the first US leg.  So it feel very momentous to be approaching that city.

But I digress....Shreveport.  In true one-nighter fashion, I didn't get to experience it much - though I've been here twice before... The one thing that everyone experienced was Louisiana pacing (lol) - which, outside of New Orleans, is slow enough to see a snail leave you in the dust. Several stories came back from castmates going to different restaurants or cafes for diner - and waiting over an hour for their food and then waiting over half an hour for the check to arrive, then waiting another 30 or so for the change to come back.  And no one who lives there seems to be phased by this - since they are all just slugging along in that heat and humidity.

Now off to TX - again (lol)!
