I have officially lost count of tour days already, since we threw in a day off it made things even harder to remember. Anyways, team stink finally cleansed themselves from the grease, grime and sweat of week one. We are currently at a venue in Baltimore that has a really nice shower which means this week is off to a GREAT start! Last week was brutal, showering needs to remain an essential part of human life. On Sunday, our day off, I awoke ready to shower but because we all had a late start, we quickly headed off to the instore signing in NYC. Showers were postponed and more sweat was added to our already disgusting bodies. It was sunny and warm out and of course there was no A/C inside the store so we marinated a little bit more. Eventually after a mile walk and a long hot cab ride back to Jersey (we found the only cab driver that *didnt* have a GPS system to take us to our hotel) we cleaned up. Best shower ever.

Shows have been good, I’m getting the hang of the table more and more. I just calmly help people one at a time and dont feel pressured to rush anymore. And of course right after I typed that I had a ridiculous mishap with my damn spreadsheet. I have NO idea how last nights sheet got so confusing so fast. Mixing the instore sales with the show sales on a newly formatted spreadsheet with 2 separate venue fee percentages was a little too much I guess. And to think I used to be in accellerated math.

On the upside I got drunk last night, instigated some roughousing and can safely say I probably freaked out a few of my busmates. I am good at making friends People must realize that I like to wrestle, everyone knows my parties always end up having wrestling matches in the front yard…and the back yard…and sometimes in the living room. Its just how it goes. But I can see how it would make people  a little worried.

As such, I can’t tell if I am slightly hungover or just having an offkilter day but I feel super disorganized at the moment. I took a 5 hr energy shot (actually only half of one) which should help, yay for B vitamins!

This venue in Baltimore, the Quarter, is really nice. Not only do they have a nice shower but the entire layout of the building is great, there are multiple rooms, bars and other areas for people to populate. Most of it will be closed during the show but I could see this being a great bar with the right promoter and the right events. Check out their website, they should have photos up. I should link it but I am entirely too lazy to do so at the moment. The Quarter in Baltimore Maryland, check it out!
