Life with a touring puppeteer: 1998, Day 7

Monday, October 12, 1998
Day Seven


Today started at 6:00am. It was very hard to get up. And it’s raining, of course it’s Seattle so I shouldn’t be surprised.

We had a very busy, full day as our first day of school shows. The first show was at 9:30 in, ironically, Marysville. Our second show was in the same town at 2:00. This was nice ’cause it gave us plenty of time for lunch. So we went to Safeway to kill time. Lo and behold they were doing flu shots. Since we are surrounded daily by little snot machines, I always get a flu vaccine. This is Joe’s first.

The past two days we’ve been having a little problem with static, that we thought might have been cause by moisture in our system. Specifically sweat in our wireless transmitters, so while we were at Safeway we picked up the appropriate protective device. Condoms, unlubricated. Then it was off to our 2:00 show.
