Houghton MI





Tonight the cast celebrated their 100th show!!! We enjoyed time to ourselves this morning and met John, Quentin, Sue, and Mikey later in the day to have an early dinner at Applebees. When it was time for bus call I got a call from Clare asking if I wanted to bring a sleeping baby out to the bus.(I absolutely love cuddling with Spencer when he's sleeping, he's soooo adorable!) I loved having my "baby" time holding Spencer on the bus. Just as we got to the theatre he woke up and wanted Mommy. He's such a sweetheart, we are all going to miss him so much when tour is done! We made Clare promise to post photos of him online, so we can continue to watch him grow.
When we got to the theatre(Rozsa Center)we were all excited to see the banner hanging outside. It actually had photos of our cast on it. The graphic designer did an amazing job,it was so colorful! We asked one of the men in charge if we could possibly get smaller posters like it. He was wonderful enough to have his staff go around and take the posters off the walls, so that each member of the cast could have one. They also had the photo on their programs so we made sure everyone got one to bring home. The people at the theatre were so wonderful and accomodating. We really appreciated their kindness. While we were taking photos in the lobby and theatre a woman from the theatre approached us and asked if we knew Colin Nims. I told her that I was his mother and she said that there was a woman here to see him. She brought me to the woman and I found that is was Chris Klasner's mom! She came 100 miles to come see the show and represent the Klasners! I enjoyed chatting with her and really appreciated that she came all the way to see Colin. Colin was excited to hear that Carson and Selene's grandma was there to see him :)
Tomorrow we are boarding the bus at 7am and heading to Ohio where we sill get to around 9pm. Needless to say, none of us are excited about this trip! Hopefully it'll go by quickly. Last time we played Michelle's music catchphrase game and had a blast, so I'm sure we'll be asking her to pull that out again. On Thursday morning we'll be heading to Reading PA where Mark and Lisa, Steve and Mary(Friends from High School) and Fran (Steve's roomate from the Academy and usher in our wedding) will be coming to the show. We're looking forward to seeing all of them!
I'll write more after Reading :) 4 shows left!!!!

Hello Missy and Colin - thank you for sharing your experiences with us! Congrats on all you have accomplished and it seems as if you both have made some lifelong memories and friends. We look forward to seeing you perform in Rochester again Colin. Jane and Gavin Flood

Hi Jane
Thanks so much for the comment! Congrats to Gavin on A Christmas Story too! I heard he was wonderful :) Colin and I were bummed that we weren't able to come and see it. It'll be so nice to be home but at the same time we will really miss all of our friends from tour. It's all so bittersweet.
Hope all is well!
Missy
