Today was a show day, which means teching Traj in the morning, then show at night. In between we watched the video of dress rehearsal in Garrett’s room, ate, and I took a nap (again.) The show went well, the crowd was amazing. They loved us, and it felt so great to have people clap and gasp and hoot and holler… love it. We got to meet the people who brought us here after the show and they were so great… they really went above and beyond to promote us.
Only two out of the ordinary things to mention: all day today and yesterday the stage at the venue was covered in Lady Bugs. It was weird calling freezes to save bugs, but necessary…
Also, I got booed during Q&A. I introduce myself: “Hello, my name is Melinda Ritchie and I’m originally from Seattle, Washington… Go Seahawks…” “Booooooooooo.” You’ll recall I am in North Carolina and the Carolina at Seattle game is tomorrow (6:30pm eastern.)
I fly to New Orleans tomorrow morning, and we are staying at a house in the French Quarter, so internet might be spotty…
