Philadelphia

The show ended in Sonoma. It was a really short day. 8:00 am to 10:30, and then we struck the equipment and loaded it in the trailer and headed to the local sports bar to watch the Denver/New Orleans NFL game.

We killed the day there and Murphys Irish Pub, and then went to the airport at about 6:30 pm.
Our flight went very well. Evan got us a first class upgrade and we slept for most of the flight. Not great sleep.. but not bad either.
We arrived in Philly about 5:50 am, got our luggage and took a taxi to the hotel. We were already checked into our rooms thanks to Tina, and went straight to bed and slept till almost 12:00 noon.
We grabbed a bite to eat in the hotel restaurant, which had incredibly poor service, and then loaded into the ballroom at 1:30.
The load-in and set up went really well thanks to Nigel and the guys from Staging Horizons. Now we are waiting for the clients to come down at 8:30 to do a quick rehearsal and then it is off to bed. The show starts at 9:00 am tomorrow which is a nice treat that we don't have to be up so early.

Here is a shot of the room in Philly that we set up today.
