Days 65 & 66 Hartford to Hanover, New Hampshire (153 Miles- 10,447 Miles Total)

End of the line, journey's end, last call. Call it what you like but after 24 venues, 10,447 Miles, 49 State lines and 3 oil changes we have reached our last venue, and its really rather nice.

Yesterday we had a nice crowd and an efficient venue in Hartford, Connecticut. Today it seems we've got a homely crew, all smiles and helpful, with an intimate space and a well sold public show (which means they might just get half the gags). As we pulled into Hanover, we got the feeling this was going to be nice. Independent book shops, nice coffee houses, dare we dream this place might be alright? As we backed into the theatre, smiling faces, offers to do our washing, get us tea and help with the set. We haven't done a show here yet, we haven't even sound checked but we're all happy, we're all content and the last U.S Gruffalo show of 2008 could be quite a good un. It's even the first place where we've seen publicity in the town!



Yes we've got 1300 miles to travel to get back to Minneapolis, and then a flight back to the UK via Texas. But right now we don't care.

All is good in the deep dark wood!

More later
