HAPPY 200th POSTING!
That's right readers, you are reading my 200th posting on the GO GLOOP blog. Hard to believe that it was a year ago that the blog-fun started. And now we're well into a whole 2nd tour! Craziness...that's what that is.
So today...we had a run through with the fall cast (this afternoon) that had more than one not-so-great moment. But the highlight of those moments was when Jeffrey came on as Mr. Bucket, with the newspaper in hand...reading about Mr. Wonka's exciting 'Golden Ticket' news. The line he is SUPPOSED to say is 'Five Golden Tickets have been hidden in five ordinary candy bars...." But in the rush of the day and the tiredness of the run and everything else, Jeffrey actually said, with everyone listening, "Five Golden Tits..Tits...TICK-ets...." And then pandemonium struck. I mean, you try and pull yourself together after that! No one could do it. I mean, eventually, we got over it...but it was tough there at first. And at the end of the run, after any number of things went wrong, Graham said that from now on, any run of a show that he does that goes as bad as the one today did is going to be called a 'Golden Tits' run.
In OTHER news, at our TOUR MEETING yesterday, we did, indeed, get the travel schedule for the fall portion of the show. For those friends and family members between Washington DC and the West Coast (I'm speaking to the Midwesterners....and PRIMARILY my cousins in Wisconsin and Minnesota...and any other folks around there listening...), I am going to list our couple of stops here for you. These are stops we're making as we head way out West. So if you're around and want to see the show (some of you brave souls for a SECOND time) or just want to hang out with ME, just shoot me a comment here or an email and let me know. For those of you saing, WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE SCHEDULE? Just know I hear you...and I will get you a link as soon as one is available.
SEPTEMBER 12th: Eau Claire, WI (10am show and 12pm show)
SEPTEMBER 15th: Ames, IA (10am show and 12pm show)
SEPTEMBER 16th: Mason City, IA (1pm show and 4pm show)
That's all she wrote today, folks. In the words of our TD, Craig....BE BRILLIANT!
Ciao.

Hey Matt,
Good luck on the tour. I saw this T-shirt online that the cast may relate to after a few months on the road. Check it out: http://www.teemarto.com/mod/tee01/ProductDetail.do;jsessionid=aE9sFJ6WyS8g?productId=5134
See you in December! Scott B.
200 postings huh? Does this mean your blog gets to go into syndication like a sitcom? Will you be getting any royalties? Because that would be sweet.

Hey Matt! I can't wait to go on the road with you again. I've never been to Wisconsin! I hope your tour is a raging success and you have more stories than you can write about! Best of luck, my friend!
Hugs,
Kat B
Sept 16th in Mason City? Geez, that's a suburb of Rochester, MN. At least, we get their TV station on the TV anyway.
I'll have to talk to the family to see if we can make it. But thanks for the info and the recognition in your post.
Your greatest (only?) fan in MN (cuz we're related),
-Jeff
