Monday Means Back To Work

That's right! Our weekend of fun in the sun game to a screeching halt this morning...with 2 school shows in Clearwater! The venue was great - and the shows went well. Each show had about 2100 students in the audience, and they all seemed to enjoy the show. And NONE of them seemed to notice how EXTREMELY hot and humid it was onstage! But you know - we're in Florida...heading into summer. So what do you expect? We survived, packed up the show and headed Northeast to Orlando.

Eric's mom and dad (in the pink and stripes) came down to Florida to see the show again! And they brought Eric's Aunt and Uncle who live in Sarasota! They were GREAT audience members...and were very excited to talk to each of us about the show. The Thompson's are going for a record 3-Blog-Appearances (Camden in January, Clearwater today and Wilkes-Barre in May)! Best of luck, guys! YOU CAN DO IT!

Our evening in Orlando has been pretty low key. The tech staff had to go load in our show across the street for our show tomorrow. We are performing at the TD Waterhouse Arena - which is a SPORTS ARENA that can seat 29,000. Luckily, they are only going to let in about 7,000 to each of our shows. Anything more and they'd probably have a stampede when we drop the golden tickets at the end. Who needs that?
We DID find a delicious cheesecake at dinner tonight. It was a FRIED cheesecake, which we have tried before, but our waitress made it sound so delicious - and so we had to try it. To be true to our search for the best cheesecake in the country. And it was really, REALLY good. On the MASE...I gladly give the cheesecake tonight a low 9. I found the flavors delicious - but it was hard to cut into...and when you're sharing a dessert, that makes things tough.

Here it is, friends. The dessert that made Andrew Frace say, "This may be the best dessert I have ever eaten." Fair enough.

AND - I'm happy to report that I finally got the pics from the weekend posted! Take some time to go back to yesterday's post and take a look. I think you'll enjoy...PLUS...there is a Case Of The Unfortunates at the end. ALWAYS a good time!

Good night friends!
