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.

CAUTION!!!

WARNING!!!! PROCEED WITH CATION!!!! WARNING!!!!!!

You are entering the land of horrendousness! We've been in a couple cities now were there has been ABSOLUTELY nothing to do!!! With 11 days left we HAVE gone CRAZY! Just full out no marking! I didn't want to post these, because, I'm not going to lie, you may not want to be my friend any more / I may be exiled from the family, and that's the risk that I'm going to have to take, because I lost 3/1 by the majority vote.

This first video fetchers Christie, doing an amazing rendition of Something by the Beatles:

Wasn't that just great? :) That was filmed in Wichita Falls Texas.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!! PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!!

This next video fetchers: Myself, Christie and Megan. We will be performing Once Upon a Time, from the uproarious musical called: Bklyn The Musical:

I plead the 5th... I have no comment.

That day we filmed 5 videos. I won't bore you with all of them... as the night went on, we got more and more artistic... lol We think they're hilarious, but I'm not sure everyone ells will.

There might be more. Who knows as long as there's a camera, and free time. who knows what we'll create?

Love you all - Talk to you later:)

The Backyardigans go to the Rodio!

So we're in Waco Texas... Home to the Dr. Pepper museum, Lots of tornados, and the David Koresh suicides.

We're playing in a arena called:

Now apparently this is some sort of fair grounds cause the lot is huge. Because it's so big we have to share. And lucky for us we're sharing it with horse barrel racers... I talked to a couple people, couldn't understand a word they were saying cause they're accent is so bad, but they do this every week I guess... I'm sure they switch it up and do something different besides barrel racing... but what do I know?

I snuck into the little place that they put the horses. Almost got stepped on about 20 times. I kept getting in people's / horses way!

So the only thing that's dividing us and all the horses is like 3 stables, therefore poop and dirt is carpeting the floor of the arena! And as if that's not enough we have wild life in our dressing room. There's a very loud, obnoxious cricket that has made a little home for himself in a hole in the wall. No I'm not joking! I went over to the corner to see if that's were the sound was coming from... The little thing just taunted me! He waved his little antennas at me, said hello and then scurried away!

Walking to the stage this morning I saw 5 little cockroaches having there morning breakfast on some horse manure! I told myself it was ok and just kept going... Hahahaha Sometimes you just have to take things for what they are and hope that they will never be that way again!

Love you all and will talk to you later... hahaha:)

Goodbye Laura :(

Yep we're loosing another one. She's moving on to bigger and better things, just like Alissa. Laura's going to back to Philly to do Refer Madness... Hahaha kind of funny to think that she's going from playing a Dancing Yellow Hippo named Tasha, AKA the Flighty Fairy, to a sexy pothead... She's also becoming a proud member of The Actors Equity Association... the little bitch! Now she's a true professional :) They're giving her her card at the beginning of the contract so she'll get a bunch of weeks for insurance and she's understudying the lead... basically she couldn't turn it down.

Laura was deffiantly the rock of the group! There's so many Laura stories we could tell, if you ever needed something done, she'd be your go too girl. You will definatly be missed babe:)

The new girl is great! Her name is Meagan Pohland. She is Tasha ... I can already tell we're going to have a lot of fun:)

We love you Laura! And we're coming to your show in Philly, so get us tickets:)

Fun Times in the Sun:)

We've actually been having a lot of these "travel days" I've just been waiting to put them all in one big post.

The first happened a while back, We had a day in Jacksonville Florida, The rooftop pool at our very sheik hotel. We were up there all day long. Had food and beverage delivered... lol we were pretty lazy!

So later on in the day, maybe after a drink or two, we had a little photo shoot:

Yep yep I know, you don't have to say anything! We have way too much time on our hands ... well there's more.

I just noticed when I was copying this picture that it looks like she is totally checking me out. Don't worry! I was standing behind the chair, it's the angle of the picture...

And op nope, it's still not over. Since Christie missed the first photo shoot, we had one of our own.

I mean why not? When you have time to kill, why not take some pics?

-----

When we were in Wichita Falls Texas, there was absolutely noting to do, except the water park:) There was a waiting pool, 2 30 foot drop slides, a lazy river, and the most fun was the kid part... hahaha:

I mean who doesn't love splits on a log? We highly enjoyed the Lazy River and Racing!

The first time they tied and the second time the girls won... look at how pissed the boys are... hahahaha cracks me up, men are such sore loosers ;)

The one thing that was hard was the heat! Oh my it's just way to hot in Texas! We couldn't even walk, the pavement was too hot and the grass was infected with Fire Ants!

We left pooped, hot and dehydrated! Waiting for the shuttle van was the last thing that we wanted to do:) All in all another amazing day in the sun:)

-----

I've been saving this for the end... partly cause it happened 2 days ago, but mostly cause it's the best! We went to the original:

Yep the very first:)

Our day was filled with many adventures:

This was the first coaster that we went on, it's called the Titan. I almost pooed my pants! Do you see the lesser of the two big humps... not the huge on on the left but the thinner one on the right. Well that's the first drop... you go into the ground! You drop into a tunnel, It looks like you're falling to your death! It was kind of amazing:)

The next one we went on was horrible for the ladies:

This was the first wooden roller coaster that I've been on and I hated it! I feel like I received Shaken Baby Syndrome. I thought my head was going to fall off.

Once we recuperated from the wooden Texas Giant, we tackled The Batman! Witch by the way I saw The Dark Night last night and I absolutely loved it! Heath Leger is Amazing! He has to win everything for his performance! Basically go see the movie and when your in Texas go ride the ride it's pretty fun.

I forgot to take my Dolce and Gabbana's off, so the hole time I was worried about them falling, but they didn't It was great tho! We sat in the front and everything with no wait, it was incredible:)

Unfortunately everyone was waiting for Mr. Freeze:

And let me tell you that is false advertisement! It was a billion degrees in the waiting area! I thought I was going to pass out. It gets so hard to breath when it's that hot! However I have to say the wait was worth it, The ride was 10 seconds of total genius!

The Yellow one is the full Batman ride and the blue is Mr. Freeze. You go from 0 to like 100 MPH in two seconds. All the sudden your spinning up and then back down and then your going strait up into the air, just vertical, strait up to the heavens:

And then all the sudden you do it all again just backwards! Then before you know it you're being yelled at to get off the ride! All you want to do is sit there for two seconds and contemplate what you just put your body threw, but you can't. I loved it!

When we took a little brake from the craziness, we found some much needed water rides, that made us smell horrendous for the rest of the day and of course some overly priced games:

And then we found the best thing at the park... DIVE BOMBER ALLEY!!!

Laura and Tigger went first:

She was terrified! What happens is: they strap everyone together, and then put everyone on the rope. So if one goes down, the other will hold you up... I guess. Well they call 1-2-3 Fly and you have to pull the rope, witch releases you and then you ... fly! They got all the way up to the top, Laura pulled, and then she stopped breathing. When they fell it was completely silent, She was pooping herself, and Tigger thought she had passed out. After the initial free fall was over they were fine. I think it's the first time that Laura has ever been speachless:)

After Laura and Tigger. Jinay, Phill, and Erick went together, and then we were up...

I had the honers of pulling the rope...

It was amazing! You can't really hear it too well but we started singing, "I believe I can fly." Hahaha I know we're geeks!

People split up again after that, to keep with the supper hero theme we went on Superman. It was a little redundant, another free fall ride.

It was fun tho. It made my loins feel all funny ... hahahaha that might have been a little too much information. It's true tho:)

We did one more coaster after that. This one was called The Shockwave.

And that's basically what it did was shoock you at how old it was. It was so shakie I was nervouse for my life! The tensian rods on the sides of the ride should move, but not as much as they did! I prayed the hole time:)

By this time we had been at the park for over 8 hours, so we decided to go, however, on our way out. Tigger, Erick and I Flew one more time... Talk about weight making a diffrence! We fell so much faster and harder it was kind of rediculouse. This is a pic with everyone and they're winnings:)

Now you know it wouldn't be right if Christie and I left without taking any pictures... Well lucky for you, we didn't let you down:)

Hahahaha Because of the over exposure to the sun, We, being only Christie and I, had gone a lot of crazy! We were definatly being those anoying kids in the back seat that just won't shut up, and then get the giggles... to put everyone out there missury, we decieded to forgo the group dinner and order room service and have, are you surpized, another photo shoot... Hahahaha:) Partly only cause we had such an amazing backdrop:


It was just this random wall in our hotel room... funny right... Well over all I'm loving our days off, and our outside adventures:)

Love you all, and I'll talk to you later:)
