Chilton

We spent a snowy Saturday in Chilton, our seventh new venue of the tour. The venue was beautiful. We felt it was built on the same design as Eagle River - the spaces look very much the same, even the view of the booth from the stage is similar. The folks at the theatre were very nice and we did two shows to decent audiences. The first show was much lighter than they expected because of the snow. Some of the roads on our drive in were completely snowed over. But by the evening, almost 600 people braved the weather to laugh with the guys.
Our hotel was a trip - we stayed at the 'lovely' Thunderbird Motel. It was fairly no-frills, but there were some surprises. Like Cheryl's room which was decorated completely with polka-dots. They were on the walls, on the bed, on the curtains even in the bathroom. Craig's room was all Green Bay Packers. The rooms were much cozier once the heat kicked in (it took about 4 hours to warm up) but the thrill was gone between 6:30a and 8a when there was plowing behind the hotel and they ran their snow blower down the walk right in front of all of our rooms.



The shows themselves went very well and we had a good time. I am running out of things to photograph, the set always looks the same - except where our own travel-king makes his appearance and the fish always sing at sound check. Between shows, the theater treated us to a Shanty Special, freshly grilled Johnsonville brat, chips, soda and cookies. Yum.

We had a little time to relax between the shows - I guess idle hands or something!
