I thought this year would be a good time to follow the lead of Jason Kottke, who has cataloged the cities he’s stayed in each year since 2005.  Here’s my list:

One or more nights spent in each place.

Two tours helped me out a lot, and I visited more cities than are listed here, but the spirit of the list is cities that I spent at least one night in.  Though there’s nothing wrong with listing every city you visited.

What cities are on YOUR list?

Once again I am stage managing the War of the Worlds / The Lost World tour for L.A. Theatre Works.  If you’re in or around any of the places I’m going (see below), let me know.  It would be great to reconnect with friends.  As per usual, depending on our schedule, I may only have time to grab a drink.

For those of you who don’t know what this is all about.  The show is a Science Fiction double feature (no, not of the RHPS variety) of live radio drama.  War of the Worlds and The Lost World, hence the “Worlds” Tour.  What it is exactly is hard to explain, but the short version is that it’s a live presentation of a radio play with lights and staging, but still with microphones and live sound effects.  It’s a fun evening.

I’m out on tour again.  Traditionally I will make a couple of posts near the beginning of tour, then not make any more.  So, here is Day 1, and I will hope to post more as the weeks progress.

My bag arrived at 11:15 p.m., so it really wasn’t that traumatic in the end, just annoying.
