Welp, here we are.
Nine months of touring coming to an end.
252 shows.
Around 100 covid tests.
27 cities.

It's hard to describe how awesome, and difficult, and fun this has been!
There were so many factors that influenced how I personally experienced this tour.
Things going on in our country, personal things, covid things.
But despite all that, it was memorable and wonderful, and I can't believe I got to do it.
I don't totally know what will happen next, but whatever it is, I'm grateful for the now.
Grateful for all the people I've met, and the shows we've played, and the places we've been.
Great job everyone :) Let's wrap it up!
Also, here is a nice infographic that the Segerstrom put together for us:

---------------------------------------- ---------------------
Monday was a "golden day", in other words a day off as opposed to a travel day.
Many people went to Knott's Berry Farm because our tour management had gotten tickets for us.
Some people had family visits or trips planned.
I didn't have much planned at all because pretty much everything has thrown me for a loop lately.
So I had a normal morning, and then walked to Mitsuwa for a "last haul", more or less.
This time, since I wasn't in quarantine, I took my time and looked at lots of things.
I found black truffle ($24, yowch!) and gobo, otherwise known as burdock root, that was longer than my arm.


I went to the Daiso (Japanese dollar store) just to look around.

The last show went VERY quickly for me.
Before I knew it I was looking up at our MD trying not to get emotional as the actors took their final bows.
And then it was time to pack it up, for the last time.
Since I pack up quick, I escaped without loads of hugging and emotions.
Also, six of the ten of us are coming back next year, so it was a bit easier to say "see you down the road" and mean it!
About 50% of the cast are returning, including Drew (our lead) and Jared (plays Jeff), and more of my favorite people!
I'll be happy to see them again, and work a little harder to make new friends next time.
Next time.
I still can't believe there IS a next time!
As a pessimist, it's hard to hope.
But I am dangling that carrot, and if it means I get disappointed in the end, well, maybe it's worth it just this once.
