Sadly, it was undergoing renovations, so the actors didn't have real dressing rooms, but it is going to be a great place to play in a couple of months. <br><br>Now we're headed West again, and into Central time for 2 more shows before heading South again :)<br>

... corn late. Because of wet weather in the fall, the corn still have<br>a high moisture content. Anything above 15% and the farmer pays 4 cents per bushel<br>for each percent moisture.

Prior to boarding ship, we leave for two nights in London on August 31st and return October 2nd. Truly a trip of a life time!

... old people are sitting on the bench beside the pay phone. Presumably waiting for a bus that doesn't appear like it's going to come. <br><br>"Where am I right now?"<br><br>"You're in Galesburg, Michigan, where you off to?"<br><br>"Michigan, oh no, it's worse than I thought.
