Saskatoon

First of all, I stayed up too late last night. I couldn't help it. After the show, Ryan, Brendon and I settled in at the hotel lounge to sing some karaoke. We were pretty tongue in cheek about it until it actually started happening, then we got into it. We each sang solo numbers and sang a few together. After visiting with some of Bill's friends, Russ and Susan joined us and Susan sang a couple too. There were some talented patrons (and some less talented), and the whole thing made for a truly fun evening.

The bus, however, was pulling out only five hours later to head to Saskatoon. I was the last one on (though still only 10 minutes late). The bus ride was also ridiculously fun- we played cards, stopped for breakfast, visited some tourist sites, and I managed to nap for a couple of hours. Our bus hosts Blaine and his wife (who I should have asked for the spelling of her name- it sounded like Rain-deen. Oops.) were fun and very gracious. In a perfect world we would always travel by bus with them and their dog, Love (who took a special shine to Bob).

Again our accomodations are pretty swank, we're at the Sheridan downtown in Saskatoon. The casino (Dakota Dunes) was also pretty great, with delicious food and an extremely organized and capable sound crew. The show was as much fun as any we've played all year, and (as it's likely our last show of 2008) was a great way to close the season.

Now it's closing in on midnight and I've got a 4:15 lobby call to be taken to the airport. I guess I can sleep when I get home. I don't think the Colts play until Monday night.
