Tootsie Yr2: Providence, RI Part 2
Oct. 31st, 2022 09:15 am**Long Post.**
TL;DR TikTok
----------------------------------------
Thursday was a sunny, cool day, so I knew I'd want a walk :)
I did my data entry for an hour with the hotel window as far open as possible since we don't have climate control.
Eventually it got down to 72F, perfect!
After data entry and breakfast I got dressed and went to an urban market because I needed an avocado, and also because they have EVERY flavor of the "tepache" that I love! I've never seen all of the flavors in one place before.
I picked a new one to try, then strolled over to the hockey arena because that's where the Ringling Bros. Red Unit had their very last performance. In fact, the circus and I came to Providence several times (2013, 2015, 2017/the final performance).
I found the empty lot where we had been allowed to park our cars on our last day.
It was just an empty lot, but I could visualize my Corolla, packed to the roof with all of my belongings in the minutes before I had to drive away forever. It was hurtful, but I'm glad I went and had a look.
I walked around the arena looking for the cemented elephant footprint that had been taken to memorialize the elephants leaving the show in 2016. I found it in a very prominent place, right in front of the arena.
The plaque and footprint.
I cleared the leaves out before going on my way.
Still feeling kind of like a little floatyghost, this time wearing my Tootsie jacket, which bears a striking resemblance to my Ringling crew jacket.
Gigs will come and go, but that was not a gig. It was a life.

We had great crowds again!
And Brittany, Joanna, and Jenna joined forces to paint a beautiful wall tag for our show backstage!
I am upset with myself because I took a picture, along with a picture of the front of the theater, and accidentally deleted them from my phone after posting that TikTok.
So here is a picture of the wall tag stolen from Jenna:
And here is the front of the Providence Performing Arts Center, stolen from Bill:
After the last show we packed up as usual. Off to bed for tired little me.
----------------------------------------
It's Monday and I'm having a nice slow morning.
The bus doesn't get here until 11:30, then we have about five hours of driving with one planned rest stop before reaching the next hotel in Utica, NY around dinnertime. My plan then is to get a few groceries and partially unpack since we're only there for two days.
