Last Friday, Jon and I had our last show. It was bitter sweet. About half-way through I really realized that I'd never get to do it again. We've done something like 150 shows! The end of an era. We took a bunch of pictures after the show, and celebrated at the Horse Brass with our fellow puppeteers once we got back to stump-town.
In other news, I've decided to stop drinking for a while. I know this is probably really bad timing seeing as I'm about to embark on a road trip where I'm going to want to celebrate reunions all over the country, but basically, it's expensive, not that great for me. Meh? We'll see.
Over the weekend, Joe and I took a fantastic day trip to the coast (a little precursor to the big one coming up). Other weekend activities included teaching Joe how to drive a stick shift and enjoying the delicious sunshine that has been drenching Portland recently.
This week, I've been getting things in order for my trip. I've decided to leave on Sunday rather than Monday because I think I was cutting my timeline a little close. That way, I'm going to give myself an entire week to get to Chicago.

I've been just writing lists, and trying to cross all my t's so that I don't forget anything. Strangely it hasn't been stressful at all. I guess I already did most of the work, but I still feel like I'm forgetting something because this is so easy.
Eeeeee! I can't believe I'm leaving so soon. I'm so excited about seeing friends and family and the big beauty of this great nation. Expect frequent updates from the road, and if you so desire, give me a call. I'll have LOTs of time on my hands.
