Tampa, Florida
So, we are back in Florida again and it really feels like
this is our second home this year.
I think we have spent more time in this state than what I will spend in
my home state for the next two years.
Even our local workers for during the show are all familiar
since we saw them for our dress runs at rehearsals as well as our shows in
Orlando.
Meaning, it was quite a comfortable week along with the fact
that we had the least amount of shows that we have ever had scheduled. This was due to the Stanley Cup
Playoffs; and the Tampa Bay Lightning still playing which happened to be the
same team’s arena that we were performing in as well.
It was a nice change that even though we all may have been
holding our breath and hoping for shows to be cancelled and to see a hockey
game, it was also just as well to already have this city under our belts so we
don’t have to come back at a later time.
I mean we even got to perform on Stanley Cup Playoff
ice!! So there were lines, hash
marks, and hockey circles on the ice this time when we are normally used to
just a plain white, blank surface.
Change in this case was needed and exciting!
Aside from all of that hype, we were able to actually enjoy
some time off in the Florida sun while the crew finally saw their first day off
since March!
We made sure to lay by the pool, stroll along the Tampa
River Walk, as well as venture out to coast at Clearwater Beach and since a
fair amount of the guys have enjoyed playing soccer this year, we even got see
them play in a tournament that they entered!
It was a fun filled week and even though we put in our work
and made it to Show Number 400, and had a lot of familiar faces in the
audience, we also got to enjoy our downtime as well!
Thank you Florida, for being our home away from home this
year. We will see you soon, but
for now we say goodbye and head to the road for our journey to Alabama.
