36 hours* to the cruise!
*Or something like that. Figure is an estimate. Exact boarding times may vary.
So I'm currently in Phoenix, at the home of a very generous Browncoat who is allowing us to stay with him. Tomorrow morning, we drive to San Diego, go straight to the customs office so that we won't have to pay import taxes to get our instruments and gear back off the boat when we return, and then to the hotel for a shiny pre-cruise Shindig. And Saturday . . . we set sail.
It's been an exciting trip so far. We visited my mom in Colorado for Thanksgiving and gave an SRO performance the next day at the Hazlerig Music House. We had a great crowd despite the snow.
Then it was down to Albuquerque for a Shindig concert at the home of Chuck and Mary Girven, who are some of the most dedicated Browncoats I've ever met. They'll be with us on the Cruise. (While I was at their house, I got a call from Sonny Rhodes. If you don't know who that is, watch the Firefly opening credits again. Turns out he's from Smithville, right down the road from where I live.)
Yesterday, we made an early start so that we could get to Phoenix in time to hear Paul from Allanah perform at a coffeehouse. He put on a great show.
Today, we'e just been unpacking, repacking, filling out forms, affixing luggage tags, sorting stock, and so on. It's gonna be nice to finally get on that Big Damn Boat!
