11/26/2013-11/27/2013: Folsom, CA

Whew - that was a drive ya'll.  A beautiful drive as we were throughout the mountains for a lot of it - but a DRIVE!  We made 2 stops along the way - in Rawlins, WY and Elko, NV.  Rawlins definitely left something to be desired - and the hotel we were at reminded me of Eerie's older grosser brother.  Just skip that town all together if you can (lets just say that I had to hit the bar and self medicate before I could force myself to sleep in that place….and I'm not one to hit the bar…)  Elko looked nice - our hotel definitely was.  But as we were only in both places for the night and there was nothing around the hotels to walk to I really didn't get to see much/any of the town itself.

We did get another bit of Level 7 in before we left Elko though - I think we may hit our goal of playing through before Dan has to go.  Which is looking like it will be Thousand Oaks now.

In fact, we'll be losing 3 of our cast members and a band member in Thousand Oaks: our Lurch (Dan), our Flapper/Grandma Understudy (Liz) and our Caveman/Fester Understudy (Aaron) are all moving on to other things - and our Reed Player (Will) will be staying in Thousand Oaks since its close to where he lives.  Sad for us to lose so many of the family at once (I knew it would happen though - once the seal is broken then slowly the cast starts to replace itself.  Happens in every show…) but at the same time, since it has to happen, I'm excited to meet our new castmates and welcome them to the Fam.

We spent (technically) one full day in Folsom - got in for our evening show on the Tuesday, spent the night at the hotel and then stayed at the theatre between our 2 shows on Wednesday so we could just drive to Reno that night.  The hotel was very nice - it was at a little mountain resort kind of place.  Very quaint  The shows went well.  And the drive to Reno wasn't that bad - though we did get in very late.  Though I'm happy we did since now we have a FULL day off tomorrow for Thanksgiving!
