H.E.B.

Monday May 4, 2009

Dear Diary,

Anyone who has traveled around Texas and shops for food gets to experience the H.E.B. market.I love food shopping and this market has great produce and exotic Latin foods.
Today I spied a women making tortillas, very tasty.My field trip today was marketing at the H.E.B.

Our venue today is a skating place , wooden floors, very low, we assembled my swing set on the way up.George on the ladder holding the crane bar and bolted pieces. Jimbo and me on the ground feeding it up.cool cool ,very cool.2 inches to spare.

In conclusion, yay

where the stars are..

Today I cruised this pretty postcard town looking for a starbucks..no such luck. I spied many amazing homes. The two I snapped were of movie fame, this picture perfect town is used by many for the making of films.
Kind of a fun outing.

The building is the same as before, before , before BUT no sawdust. I am using spansets today, I am low. Not worthy of a photo, well maybe later..........t

BIKRAM, yay

today is sadly a day off
I drove thru Austin and stopped to play! @ bikram Yoga yogagroove.

I had a wonderful very intense workout..It is one of those mental exercises to make it thru and push yourself and not quit

At the end of the 90 minutes you lie on your back and for a few more minutes I try to just be and not think.
I laid on my mat and looked at the steel grey ceiling, the ceiling fans spun,legs walked past me and an occasional droplet of sweat found me.I lay there sweating, breathing and being thankful for life.
Maybe set up will be easy tomorrow and I will venture back.
Cosmo the owner gave me a very cool water bottle, I bought a new mat and stopped myself from buying a cute yoga outfit.
the studio puppy is named Cashew
oh yeah dear diary talk about a creepy weird smile, that's me all right

I love this town !

the usual got up, drove, set up, unhooked, went to town! and what a cool town it is

We are in Lyndon B. Johnson's home town, I drove around this gem of a city and snapped away.

I have been told that Austin is a very cool place , we are only 50 miles away.

I am low, sheesh.

I take full responsibility if I bore the crap out of the audience, sometimes they are just overheated or their infant just did an explosion. I gotta keep thinking Gene Mendez or Marcel Marceau

sawdust and spangles and dreams

Thursday ALL READY April 30, 2009

Wow time flies when you are having ,fun?

Today was a very long ass drive. Lowish building and ,bonus!! there is sawdust!!!! oh thrill ,oh joy, oh rapture

When you are in Texas you need mosquito repellent, 7 dust ,cowgirl boots, a whip, a gun and you gotta love amazing tex mex eatin'. yee ha giddy up. DQ is even texmex.Once I got pineapple empanadas at a McD's
oh yes and sun block cause I ain't wearin no hat..can't do it- well maybe if I had a horse and a ranch. I do have boots and a big truck, I am halfway there.

Went foraging for above items, The Toy Man needed to stock up on everything so he rode shotgun. We hit the H.E.B, Bells and DQ.

Rigging was a breeze, same as yesterday cables on a beam thing. When I was moving the ladder it sort of slipped off the beam. Popcorn John came to the rescue. We almost dropped the ladder! I screamed like a girl.

The ants are fierce. It is hot humid dripping outside. Mosquitoes mean it, they bite thru black clothing. I am afraid of Swine Flu. I am afraid I will be trapped in Texas.

the pen is mightier than the sword

Dear diary,
well it is still Wednesday I think..
when something happens on a show the everyone bands together. It is good for moral.

Earl Ostroff said to me more than once, "well Rebecca this is a fine kettle of fish you have gotten yourself into, now what are you going to do ?"

For one thing I am going to get some mosquito repellent.We got attacked here in this town wherever we are someplace in texas..swine flu, west nile or tar and feather hmmmm decisions decisions..

April was not supposed to be cruel

Dear Diary,
I feel like Harriet the Spy when she lost her journal and her friends read it and she hurt their feelings.Feelings are not things you can touch with your hands, but they can be damaged by your actions and your words.Honesty is the best policy but some fleeting insensitive thoughts should be contained in ones mind until they evaporate.Your friends and friendships are important, you want to be supportive and kind, not cruel or hurtful.
Telling people when they piss you off is good.Having people tell you why they are hot at you is even better. We are all going to die and the last thing I want to be remembered as is an asshole.

We have been doing this tour for about 104 days.Today the building was up, down and around this muddy "road".I usually park last ,being non show equipment or animal. I got thru the mud ,pulled out of the way,or so I thought,per usual "I was in the way". I am a bad mind reader, I need to work on my mind reading skills.


The people I troop with are gladiators, artists, human beings. This ain't no candy ass tour and they rise to the challenge every day 2 times a day.

Low building wrapped cables on cross beams.I think I can swing, I'll give it a go.
