The Tour!

It has been some time since any of us has had the chance to blog, so sorry, we've been very busy, a little anxious, and completely excited about our artistic adventure.

Thank you to everyone who supported our show while it was in Portland (both the first and the second shows) you are greatly appreciated, and you have helped us get to Canada- we only almost ran out of gas, twice. We've discovered that Mary and Adrienna are not a good combination when driving because they talk too much, and forget to look at the gas gage, and then they look at each other and say, "woops."

See our RV? Isn' t great? This picture is from our last day in Portland minutes before we all jumped in the ol' camper and hit the road.

We made amazing time, especially when we could only drive at 50-55 miles an hour. Let me tell you we were passed a lot, I mean a lot, other RV's passed us, it was great. The RV is the perfect size for the four of us. Everyone takes turns driving, we always have a navigator so the driver isn't alone, and that leave tons of space in the back for the other two. It took us about two days to get to Winnipeg, and the drive was beautiful.

We stopped in Spokane for some dinner (we have snacks galore but a meal was sometimes needed) and Mary and I did a little slow dance for some of the customers as a live band played. We drove late in the night till we found an abandoned ski lodge in Idaho, where we parked to get some sleep. It was so beautiful, the sky curved like a fishbowl and was black with so many stars visible. The moon was bright yellow and rose over the mountains. In the morning we drove through Montana. Oh, Montana, big, beautiful and a long drive. It was hot but it wasn't terrible, well it was a little hot in the cab but nothing we couldn't handle.


If you ever find yourself in Montana and need some used cows the place in the photo is where to go.


Montana is spectacular and they don't call it Big Sky for nothing. The sunsets where vibrant and deep magenta and burgundy, just brilliant. Tonya and Eleanor watched an electrical storm and said the lighting was the same deep range of pinks and reds as the sunset. I'm so bummed I missed that!


We stopped in a truck stop in Montana our second night, but the mosquitoes, the loud trucks and the deep muck of mud and sludge put us quickly back on the road, until we found a construction site with a closed road in North Dakota where we parked and slept.


North Dakota was so green and lush, with wetlands and clear sparkling ponds with grey trees growing out of the water like crooked fingers reaching toward the sky. We all were so awed by the beauty of North Dakota and its expansive fields of green. We were not so awed by possibly the worst coffee in the world served at Krolls cafe in Bismark, very nice people, very bad, bad coffee. We called it Coffer: water coffee.








Mary loves bears.





Tonya is pretty much embodying all of our joy.

Eleanor is so excited she can't help but sing




And, Mary Rose and Adrienna made up a great cheer, I mean we are set to Invite Canada into so much desire they may just explode. Perhaps we should come with a warning label?

We only got stuck at the boarder for about 45 mins, during our examinations, we sang "My Vagina is 8 miles Wide," yes, that's right we are here, Canada, we are here.

We have postered, met a few other fringe performers and are staying with the most wonderful host- ever- really, things couldn't be more enjoyable.
Our tech is on the 15th and our 1st performance is on the 17th. We have a pretty large venue to fill so wish us luck with our seduction at pulling in an audience.

We will post again soon with our Winnipeg, Fringe experience- CHEERS! LIBIDO!


Doesn't it seem like this should be our venue?


The Wind and the Willows right here in Winnipeg.


That's right baby, it's a sign. Literally
