Hallucination City: Los Angeles

Rehearsal: Day 2. Burbank, CA

Sound check is at 2:30 today and the performance is at 8. I borrowed a Peavey amp from a friend of a friend and it is serving me well. The rehearsals have also been going very very well and everyone is really excited about tonight. Our run throughs on Monday and Tuesday seemed to come together very quickly and everyone is playing amazingly well. I am cautiously optimistic.

Meanwhile, I am really looking forward to seeing the theatre. Everyone I have talked to has been raving about it. I will take many photos. Don't you worry.

Oh, and I didn't mention it before, but my guitar survived the trip from JFK. I did end up having to check it, but at the gate so it didn't have to go into the black void. I picked it up at the plane door on the way out; opened it up to make sure it was still one one piece and was all set to go. I almost got it into the cabin, but the flight was sold out and the crew was watching for oversized luggage. It's hard to make a guitar case look small.
