What City Am I In?

I'm not going to lie, that phrase has become a common phrase. Now that we're on Week 7 (or is it 6?), the days are honestly starting to blur together. Thank god, I write down my notes for each show during the show or else I would never know what to put in my nightly reports. Which coming soon, I'm going to post a little bit about what I do for those who don't really know what a stage manager does.

This past week, we have been in the Carolina's all week. And seriously, I LOVE Charleston. Even though I only spent less than 24 hours there, it was seriously such a beautiful city. I don't think I've ever been to a city quite like that. Like its apparently a huge city, but it seemed so small, and quaint. I honestly hope to go back there this year, and actually get to see it (wink MOM wink).

The whole time I was in Charleston I was thinking of the Bravo show "Southern Charm". Yes, I will admit I do watch that show. Not as much for the people, but honestly because of the city. And getting to walk down King St, see all the gorgeous houses by battery park, and performing my the College of Charleston was a great start to the week.

This is definitely one of the reasons why I have loved touring so much. I have gotten to see so many different cities, I honestly wish I had done more site seeing and really enjoying my time before now. At the start of the tour I was honestly so exhausted, and stressed that I was nailed up in my hotel room doing reports from that day, and getting prepped for the next day. I've honestly learned how to use my car time wisely (aka set up office in the back of the car and do everything then).

This coming week, I FINALLY get to go to New York City. This has honestly been a dream of mine since I was little to get to see NYC, Broadway, and all its beauty. Get ready for many pictures and posts on my short visit there.

Till next time!

This past weekend, we got to spend time in Atlanta. Even though it was only from Saturday to Monday early afternoon, I have to say I loved Atlanta. I had never been before, and even though it was not the greatest weather (it's been raining everywhere we go since Friday...) it was probably one of the best weekends I've had since leaving Chicago.

Saturday we got in late afternoon, and of course had some hotel issues (the door in my room wouldn't close, ugh). That evening my cousin set me up with tickets to go to the Atlanta Hawks game. For my first NBA game, I was definitely spoiled. During the 2nd period, I got to meet up with my cousin and before the start of the 3rd period I was able to go out onto the court. WOW, those guys are ridiculously tall. Being about 5 feet away from them definitely made me feel even shorter than I already am. After that me and Virginia watched the game from the members section which was an amazing view to watch the game.

Later that night we got to go out in Atlanta, and it is a fun town. I definitely got the friendly southern attitude from everyone, especially when we were a little confused with the Marta. Overall, it was a pretty great night and it felt good it get out and do something other than work.

The next day was more of a lazy day, and I got to see the downtown area when picking up/ dropping off people. That night I got to see my cousin again, and have my first home cooked meal in literally a month. No joke, not having something that came from a restaurant was probably the best thing all weekend. When I'm back home I will definitely be doing more cooking.

Its crazy that we are finally starting to make our way back east coast. I'm so excited to spend time in NYC for thanksgiving, and even more excited for after thanksgiving to see a lot of places on the East Coast i've never seen.

Till next time!
