Jules and the Mud Bays

Jules here.

I am in Vernon BC doing shows with the wonderful Mud Bay Jugglers. The shows have been going pretty well even though they are at 12:30 and in a conference room instead of a theater. We set up the MBJ's pipe and drape system so that we have a back curtain, this makes the environment a lot more appealing. In the last week and a half I have learned half an hour of material including some of the really difficult ones, like drop sequence, slow motion, and tango. At this point the sequence has solidified itself in my mind and I can focus a little more on character, I have to be careful though of loosing myself or being over confident in that regard. Today we layed out drop cloths for the last act, because of my fire drop yesterday. oops, sorry about the melted carpet Vernon Lodge. I did not drop today. We have three more shows and then off to seattle to Austing and back to Kelsey.

It has been strange being away from her. This was our trip together, a joint resoultion for change and growth. It was, and it will be, but I feel a little guilty sitting in this hotel room in the fridged northland while she drives halfway across the country alone. mmmm....

Thats all for now, post again soon
