Still riding on the afterglow of Austin and the presidential and local elections. Sun is out and there's an autumn wind with a slight chill. We're heading straight North and into November cold season. The Weather Channel says there's unusually warm temperatures in the East. I'm hoping they linger a while as we move in that direction.

The Granada Theatre is a beauty and built in 1946. The local crew are incredibly friendly, especially Mike the LD who helps Frank Marchand (our front of house soundman) and I install our European backdrop that we commonly refer to as the "Jackson Pollock ectoplasm."

Something about these old theatres that sing with tone.

Thanks to Bill Ellison for the photos.
