I write from the airport terminal in Austin en route back home to Florida for a couple weeks!
Austin was great!
This is my second time performing in this city - my first being on the musical
SOUTH PACIFIC a couple years ago.
We received rental cars in this city because we had to stay so far away from the venue due to big conventions downtown. This was nice because we could sorta be on our own schedules and have a little more freedom and personal space.
Fun fact: I met a waitress named Freedom at an IHOP here in Austin...
There is a famous jazz club in Austin called the Elephant Room that I got to go to a couple of times. Some of the band members even got to sit in with the big band one night; I did not because the drummer played left-handed, which is a mirror image set-up to the average drummer's set-up.
I play the average drummer's set-up.
