We had a great show last night in San Ramon, CA.  This is a brand new theatre – open for less than a year – and it’s always a privilege to be a part of the first season of events!

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to use our hazers in the venue because they haven’t quite worked out the “fire alarm” system.  That would mean we couldn’t use our intelligent lighting either BUT those are all the “bells and whistles” that we like.  Luis and his crew worked very hard to help us get the show in and up before 7pm.

It didn’t matter that we were limited in our production.  The show still has some very strong illusions in it – and the audience didn’t seem to mind at all.  They were a great crowd!

I had leave during the day to get Ethan to a doctor.  He’s been battling some sort of upper respiratory thing since we arrived in Redding.  In the past two days, it got really bad and his fever started spiking around 104.  Crystal – the theatre manager – made him an appointment.  We set up as much as we could and then Cindy and Keith took over our responsibilities as well as their own.  We made it back by 5pm with prescription in hand for some heavy-duty antibiotics!

I almost forgot – you’re read about our friend Steve Chezaday from Naperville, IL.  He drove up to visit with us and see the show in Madison, WI at the Overture Center.  A friend of his named Carol came to see the show in San Ramon.  She introduced herself afterwards and told me she wanted to help out with the Spikes of Doom!  I’m sorry she didn’t get that chance – maybe next time.

Thanks to everyone in San Ramon for making our time there fun and memorable!
