The countdown to the U.S. tour begins!!!

"The time has come!" the leader said, to talk of many things. "Of shows and dance and touring the world, of helping people too. and when we leave this melting pot we'll know more then when we started."
EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT!!! U.S. TOUR FOR CAST B 2007 BEGINS MONDAY!!! Thats right folks- we the people of Up With People are in our last week of staging (or preparing for the show). On Monday the 6th of August the cast leaves for Gallup, New Mexico to begin there 5month tour of the world. I will meet them in Globe, Arizona, as that is where I am doing advance work (in other words; setting up the city before the rest of the cast gets there). I leave on the First of August for Globe, so i wont be with the cast, but that is ok- i will see them soon enough. Its been a crazy month. I've never been so busy or so completely and utterly exhausted. This past Sunday, I had the immense pleasure of going to see Circ du Soleil: Corteo. IT IS AMAZING!!!!! I went with my Mom and Whitney from my cast. Its is truely unreal. I would recomend it to anyone and everyone!!! Today is Monday the 30th, and it is the day that we moved from the Sherman Center to the Teiyko Loretto Heights Theatre where we will have our show. This week is down to the nitty gritty and we have a lot of work to do. It is also my brothers birthday, so...HAPY BIRTHDAY ADAM!!!The cast continues to bond and grow stronger each week and its been awesome to see the show come together. I am so excited for the next 5months, and nervous too. If anyone has some good qoutes or words of encouragement for me and/or the whole cast I'd love to hear them!!!! See you all in December! I'll keep writting and updating this blog so keep checking back!!!

How long the road is, But for all the time the journey has already taken, How you have needed every second of it in order to learn what the passes by.
