Boredom and Fun:)

I know what you all were thinking! "God I just love his hair like that! I really hope that he did a photo shoot!" Well it is your lucky day! Walter, Jarvis and I had an impromptu photo shoot in the forest behind the theater one day when we were waiting for the bus to leave.

This is Walter and Jarvis's best pic:) lol - I consulted Tyra about it, she helped with the final decision:

Even Michele got in on it!

----

That concluded our Boredom section of the Entry, Now we're onto the fun:) haha

The other day we were personally invited to come enjoy a sensible day at the Biltmore House by a representative from the Vanderbilt Family. I'm totally lying! We payed $40.00 to see about 1/4th of the house, well mansion!

It was absolutely stunning!!!! I wish I could show you some pics of the interior, but we weren't aloud to take pics inside and I couldn't find anything on line that did it justice. All the decor in the house is the original design. Some of the pieces have been there since the beginning in 1895. It's amazing! And all of the staff is so nice and knowledgeable, we opted out of getting the head phone things and found that it's more beneficial if you just ask the guards in every room... hahaha some interesting things that we found out were, it only took 6 years to build, in 1895 they only spent 6 million dollars (can you believe it!!!!????!!!) to be a maid, or someone on the staff was concidered hitting it big & they were very diverse, people from all over the world would come to work at the Biltomore house! Aparently they treated everyone with a lot of respect! The Wife had a school that she ran for servants... I know that not the right termanolgy but if you graduated from there you had an otomatic in to were ever you wanted to go! Here's the family... they're so busy!

Could you imagin waking up in the morning oppening up your blinds and seeing this:?

Just miles and miles of you're own land... Ok so now that you've fallen asleep from that little history lesson... I'll give you a downlow of what we did. When we arived we toured the house. It took like 2 hours. Then we walked around the little garden that was right next to the house:

Apparently there was another huge garden that we missed. But still as you can see it is Gorges!

After that we met up with everyone and took a shuttle over to the winery. FYI it was 5 miles away from the house. 5 MILES. They had this cute little gift shop were everything was over priced... but the pest part was the free wine tastings!!!
We each got to taste 5 different kinds of wine. I can't remember the one that I liked the best but it was fun. After that a couple of us did some Grape stomping... hahahaha I'm not kidding:

It felt so grose! But it's definatly something that I can mark off my list of stuff to do in my life time! lol The funny part is, when your done you dry your feet off then you step in some purple paint and then put your foot prints on a paper... here just have a look:

It says "I stomped Grapes at Biltmore Estate's Winery" and then they had us sign it for authanticity... lol it was so funny. Everything was stunning! The mansion, the landscaping. I hear that it's amazing in the winter. I kind of want to go back... I just don't want to pay the $40.00 bucks again.

Ok it's 2:30 am, I'm sure there's a rediculous about of spelling/grahmer problems, so just enjoy... I'll fix them later. Good night:)

Love you all, Talk to you later:)

Why not:)

So, I've been talking about cutting my hair for a very long time. It's gotten too the point were it's just way too long, It won't stay tucked into my costumes. While I was getting more and more frustrated, everyone around me was getting more and more annoyed... So I cut it...

And because we were wigs in the show, I'm not auditioning, and I'm defiantly not trying to impress anyone! I decided to do a Mo-Hauck:)

I take NO responsibility for my actions! Chris is the mastermind and action fullfiller for this little project.

Don't worry mom it's gone now. I cut it off. Now I look like my brother Jon! hahahaha The reason why I did it so quick was because people started treating me weird. This lady didn't want to serve me at a restaurant, because of my hair. I'm not at all surprised, The places that we are going to these days have not accepted the fact that it's 2008!

It's 2:30AM now so I'm going to go to bed. I love you all! Talk to you later:)

The show must go On!

It's out second show on our first day back, the first show went great. Shawn and I almost missed our entrance for flowers because Sally was telling us a riveting story about... I don't know really remember what about... But other than that it was almost perfect. We were all refreshed and rested it was nice.

So We're doing the second show it's going just swimmingly... Tyrone and Uniqua are on stage they just about to start the theme song of the show, "We're Night's That's Right" when all of a sudden everything shuts off! Yep mikes out, blackout! ...The scene from were I was standing was amazing! Christie and I were waiting for our entrance, messing around, at this point we were pretend slapping each other. Everything movie style shuts down, it even did the veeeruuum -- you know what i'm talking about? the sound does a decrisendo with a sliding scale down to a lower note... haha ANYWAYS it's pitch black, T&U just run off stage. We here a voice next to us say, just so casualy (with a southern acent) "Oh we must of got hit my lightning" I'm thinking "WHAT!?! Yeah that's great!!!" "Wait does that mean a snow day? What if they can't get it fixed will the show be canceled?" Then I start to here kids crying... then all the crew people are franticly running around, while Christie and I are trying to contole our church giggles. By this time the lights have come back up, Jinay has made an anouncement saying "Hello, (with here really soothing I'm talking to the audience voice) we will reconvien the show in 2 minutes" Phill starts playing some filler music and I see people start to leave. An agonizing minute and a half goes by and we just picked up were we left off. It was quite exciting.

Through out the show the lights kept flickering and we kept hereing poping noises from the speekers. One almost made Christie poop her pants on stage, She jumped so hi I laughed so hard... inside! It was amazing.

So we get done with all of the that drama ... so excited to just go to our new and lovely bus! I get out there and hank (our new bus driver) is there sitting watching TV ... I look up and see that the cealing is leaking... I say "hey did you a see this?" he's like "Yeah..." I was like (in my head) "Oh well should we do something out it? instead of just sitting there" I went and put my stuff in my bunk and when I came back he was stuffing Napkins up in the hole. It turns out theres 3 leaks in the ceiling. I guess water must come up from below cause the carpet is all wet, I can't wait for it to dry and smell like mildew! and the door to the garbage has fallen off it's hinges! ... hahahaha Welcome home:)

Love you all talk to you later:)

Bus Drama!

Hello everyone ... How is everything? (Who am I? Asking a question like your gonna answer...) Brake was amazing! So much fun times! I didn't want to come back! Before we dive into that I need to give you a little update on The last week of tour, oh and I need to tell you about San Antonio Tx. The last place we left off was the videos right? ... oh boy, well it didn't get any better from then on.

Before our last city, Nashville, we were in the huge metropolis that is Evansville, I mean there was so much to do it was so amazing ... We were so bummed that we were only there for 1 day... I swear to you everything in the area closed at 2:00 PM it was horrible! So what was suppose to happen was; Thursday: 2 shows in Evansville, travel to Nashville that night. Friday: off:) Saturday: 3 shows. Sunday: 2 more shows, fly home that night:) Well ... after the second show on Thursday we all go out to the bus ... it's not there, we wait, and wait, and wait. It's broke down on the side of the road... Pete went to get gas, everything was fine and then on his way back it said nope I don't want to go any more. After an hour or two, he fixes it! Yay - Great we can go to Nashville! We all load up on the bus, were all ready, it doesn't start! We're all like really? Are you telling me we have to stay in this town another night? Pissed, but there was nothing we could do about it! So our last ride with Uncle Pete, and Bertha was canceled do to her control panel:(

To our amazement and exuberant joy, Uncle Pete surprised us, and took us to the Airport on Sunday:) In honor of our last ride, Kandace, Jarvis and I had one last photo shoot in our old home:

Uncle Pete is going to drive for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra... I guess he likes them better than us... haha. No it's something he does every year, They have him booked for the like, ever!

The new bus is great! I looks just like the Bertha from the outside:

This is the front and back lounge... they kind of look the same.

There's a lot more seating in new bus, we haven't named her yet... we might have to have a group discussion about it... anyways but all the greatness about Bertha is the same with New Bus; Flat screen TV's in both lounges, wireless internet, Bathroom, kitchen. Oh the one thing that's not good is we don't have that much storage for food, witch might be a problem! But we'll make it work.

I don't know how I scored this one but I landed the best bunk ever!

First of all they're bigger than B's bunks, but I have the newest TV, DVD witch comes with a built in I-Pod Holder, With a charging feature... oh could life get any better? I just wish I had an I-POD to put in the fricken thing!!!! Remember how it was stolen @ MSG... well insurance is taking for ever!!! I still haven't gotten a new one...

Ok Stay tuned: Love you all, Talk to you all later:)

I'm Sorry...

Hey everyone I'm sorry for not updating. I'm loving this 3 week brake. I have so much to tell you!!! Don't give up and stay tunned:)

Love you all and talk to you later.
