New London to Burlington: A Synopsis




Halloween (New London): Miranda- Farm Girl, Tia- Last Leaf of Autumn, Tyler (Tia's BF)- Dany Guy, Dave- Ghost of Nomar Garcia-Parra, Terry- Fear/The Republican Agenda, Colleen- Sarah Palin, Dany- Bristol Palin (her pregnant daughter). Drinks were had at a local pub in Mystic, CT. Then the fun moved to Foxwoods casino which is like the Emerald City. There several of us entered a very biased costume competition which none of us won. Who wants $200 worth of Hard Rock merchandise any way?

Dinner with the Guys (New London): Dinner with Dany's parents and sister, that is. The lovely Guys took us to a family style BBQ restaurant outside of New London. Lisa was kind enough to supply us with plenty of beer and cookies. The food was great and much fun was had by all.

Burlington (Burlington): This is one cool town with a beautiful little theatre. The local union crew all looked like pirates and were one of the nicest and most efficient crews we worked with. However, Tom (who looked like Johnny Depp and fixed our Magic Table)(and thus we loved him) was perhaps too efficient. He packed our Magic Table with only THREE LEGS!..... what do we learn here? Stay off of drugs, kids. Also another "efficient" crew member dropped a cable ramp on Miranda's head giving her a mild concussion. Ouch. And then there was Leo. mmm.

Ben and Jerry's (Near Burlington): Vermonster= 20 scoops of ice cream, 4 cookies, large brownies, 4 bananas, 4 toppings, lots of hot fudge, lots of walnuts, and whipped cream. The 7 of us ate it in 20 minutes. There is a video to come. Much fun. On the way out of the parking lot Tia "dinged" the van. That's all we need to say.

The Wedding (Somewhere, MA): In honor of last year's tour and following Jamie's wishes, the second ever Velveteen Rabbit/Religion of Concentric Circles gay wedding was had in a Friendly's parking-lot. (A lovely atmosphere) Miranda and Tia exchanged vows written on place-mats and presented each other with rings made of 14 carat straw wrapper. Terry presided as a Low Priest of the Religion of Concentric Circles. Dany gave away Tia while Colleen sent off Miranda. Dave made a beautiful flower girl, and Matt provided music and videoed the entire ceremony. Video to come. (Dany, get on it!)

Tia and Miranda are accepting gifts at this time. Check out Victoriassecret.com for registry.
