Day 2/3

We have entered the Road

1st stop Stockbridge..a fairy music jam and incredible pesto
we picked up a cook stove and a wonderful musician… Lucas Swan.

Now on our way in the rain to Burlington Vermont, green lush dampness.

We will be camping out in the woods rehearing, repainting the bus, renovating costumes, rehearsing, building many pocket pouches for the bus.

We have a show in a Barn tomorrow night double billing with Shawn Grady. Performing: The Sun Flower, and Dreamer .2, and creating a collaborative experiment with local artists.

(as I write this our first bus glitch, the wind shield wipers stopped working mid rainstorm. So we pull over, wrap up in a towel, scope out the situation, wait, admire a boat across the road, head up the road to a gas station, the rain clears we make it to Burlington about 7pm - amazing how something so small can be so large, so many lessons to be discovered)

Today woke in a garage in Burlington first night of city camping, our host who is connecting us with the arts community here, very friendly, hadn't really sorted us out so our first night we were welcomed to a hump day home brew community gathering and one of the people at the party Greg, hosted us gave us a Chinese food feast as we bonded with the community and planned for performances here.

Rehearsal this afternoon at the barn, we need to unload the bus, re organize ( probably a permanent activity) Performing tonight after a dance piece...really flying by strings.

The plan is to rehearse with local artists and build a piece to share... we have the tales we've created and chill people who want to play...I am wishing I had a clearer plan, but trust and ease and walking into leading the way (ahh). More soon.

Headed to Maine tomorrow..... cheers y.
