Leaving New York in our dust we continue to eat up road and lurch toward the finish line. Our penultimate stop on our trek is Hartford, Connecticut. Before that we had a nice day off in Jersey City where we all took advantage of some nice hotel rooms and did very little, apart from find the nice Indian village which served very good Indian food.
Our shows yesterday took us back into downtown Manhattan and the Tribeca Performing Arts Center. We had 2 shows and maybe its the tiredness, maybe its the cold, or maybe its the evil little children that made up our audience but these were hard shows. Not a word was listened to, not a joke laughed at, they simply wanted to scream. They were very angry children. Amongst the screams were: Eat the Mouse! Gruffalo Eat the Mouse! EAT THE BLOODY MOUSE! (Ok so maybe they weren't English enough to say bloody but they did seem to have a thirst for blood shed. Had I duly obliged then I am not sure what the reaction would have been to me feasting on a mouse in front of 500 school children- perhaps a cheer?)
Anyway we hot footed it out of Manhattan for the last time and headed to Hartford, Connecticut. Our hotel seems to be located amongst a road of some very nice expensive restaurants with nobody in them and not located in a particularly desirable neighbourhood.
Today brings another couple of shows before he we head to New Hampshire for the last shows (2 of which are minus a stage manager as Anna heads home for her Sister's wedding) so no doubt this tour will remain interesting to the last. Then its the small matter of a 1300 mile journey back to Minneapolis to drop off van and set, before a flight home via TEXAS!! We do like seeing this country
