Portland! City of...something. Bridges? Rain? Not sure.
Portland was quick but lovely -- we all oohed and ahhed when we walked out of the airport into the crisp, cool, damp air, and saw before us all these strange colored pointy trees. After 6 weeks in plastic Los Angeles, it was wonderful to be dropped in the middle of autumn. The hotel was lovely, by the river, with a charming cozy bar and restaurant downstairs. I spent a lot of time running back and forth to the clinic and the pharmacy, but also managed to have a nice time roaming the streets, seeing movies, eating brunch, and of course, working on that show I'm doing.
The show is a well-oiled machine by now. We move in and out of theatres seamlessly, do our show, wow the locals, have a great time, and move on. We're getting great audience response, good reviews, and the show continues to grow and change and deepen. People are getting closer, making friendships, finding their niches and groups and coffee-buddies. Everyone is playing very nicely with each other -- we go out for drinks post-show, we hang out in each other's rooms and watch movies, we shop together, we eat together, we complain about our shoes and our hair and our tumors together. It's a really great group of people, and I feel lucky to be with them.
