We recently asked Rosie Thomas to send us dispatches from her latest batch of tour dates. She ended up being too busy having fun with her pals Denison Witmer and Sufjan Stevens (also on the tour), but she managed to get another one of her friends, comedic mastermind, Sheila Saputo, to send us some words and photos. This is her second post.

Dear De De,
The Big Apple or Big Dipper whatever. I was freaking out all day. Running up and down Times Square just freaking out trying to find auditions. Took a cab ride up and down 42nd St. for about an hour. Just held my head out the window screaming, “I’m the next Phantom!” hoping that some director would hear it and be intimidated. Not making a dime on this tour and man, they have me loading in all the gear and loading out all the gear every night while they party. So awesome, I’m really doing it! Hard finding places to stay every night. Tonite, I might just ride the subway till the sun comes up or whatever. Some real characters on the subway, it’ll give me tons to journal about! Last time I rode the subway all night, I met this man named Jimmie, and he just yelled at me for about three hours until he puked and passed out and I just held him the entire time and sang, “Start spreadin’ the news!” Real life is awesome.
Never let ‘em see you sweat,
Sheila
