Aurora, IL

Odd show today in Joliet...we had kids throwing things from the balcony onto the seats below. Nothing too crazy, but they did get a talking-to at intermission. Tomorrow after the show we drive to our hotel by O'Hare and then have a weekend in Chicago! Janelle is meeting us here soon, and then we all are heading to a haunted house.

Drove the truck for the first time today...short drive of 30 miles, but it included city driving, interstate driving, heavy rain, and construction zones. Very fun in a 26' truck.

Yesterday I drove the van the whole way from St. Louis to Joliet. Long drive, but a fun one...especially with counting crows driving through corn fields and the sunset.

Our new understudy arrived today...Jared, or Jerod, or Jered, or something like that. Josh's last show is tomorrow, and we'll have some rehearsal time in Kalamazoo on Sunday.
