Hey everyone! Greetings from the future!

So, this blog should've been started a long long time ago ... but I didn't get everything up and running when I got here, then we got busy and working pretty much right away so I've been keeping notes telling myself that I'll catch up on the blog.

Well now it's 3 weeks later ... the blog is just getting started and I have like 3 full pages of notes written out and I *still* haven't caught up on everything. So I realized today that if I keep this up I'll never get this started because I'll always be writting for the day before. So I'm going to just go from here .... 3 weeks later and then I'll post bits and pieces of the first 3 weeks as I keep up to date from here on out. I don't think I'll have news for every single day since on routine days it's just wake up, go to work, perform, come home, but as much news as there is ... you'll get.

So let's get on with today. I didn't sleep very well last night so I slept in today until almost 11:00am. Got out of bed and checked the view out my window like I do every morning now ... changed and took the elevator downstairs to get some breakfast in the staff area. When I get my updated posts up you'll understand more about the staff area here in the Venetian, but it's not just a room or a back corner of the hotel ... it's an underground city with a mc donalds and a 7/11 convenience store .... it's huge. Our eating area holds hundreds of people and it's a buffet style ordeal every day for every meal. I have a picture of my breakfast plate on facebook for those of you that have me there. Actually ... I can just post it here:



Yes that is a plate of rice and chicken and veggies for breakfast! The eggs and bacon and breakfast food stops at 10:30am or so. I missed it.

I've been trying for the past week to go to the gym here and get some exercise in the mornings (yes even though I'm perform 4 times a day) because I don't have a workout routine at home and now I have the time and the facility. My body however ... does not so much like that with all the flipping and running around I'm doing haha. It started off great ... then slowed down a little bit ... and now ... I'm waking up at 11am :P I'll get back in to it though.

Anyway, I finished eating and then went for a walk through the store level of the hotel. I still haven't made it through the entire thing. I intended to look for a basketball (I finally found a basketball court I can play on) but I couldn't find one amongst all the name brand clothing and jewelry. I ended up seeing these clown / jesters running around though juggling and on unicycles. I didn't know they did stuff like that here so it was interesting.

I didn't stay to see if there was a performance or anything though because I couldn't find a basketball and I was pretty upset about that (haha) so I snapped a few pics and then headed back up to my room to grab my stuff for the day.

Got my stuff and went back out to grab the shuttle to work. We work at the Sands hotel which is about 15 minutes away from the Venetian where we stay. The ride is pretty uneventful for me now that I've done it every day for the past 3 weeks ... but I do have a video and some pictures for later (once I clean my camera)

I got in to work early today and watched some of the other acts. There are singers and other dance groups performing with us and we've gotten to know most of them already which is pretty cool.

I'll go over our performances etc another day ... today was not a great day to report about our show. Had a few issues that needed to be dealt with ... but hey ... that's the way it's going to happen sometimes. We go through our day and headed home. I ate dinner and then just chilled out. Today was pretty routine and relaxed.

It's hard to believe 3 weeks have passed already. A lot of things feel very normal to me here which I guess is kind of fast though. I walk through giant hallways with portaits and paintings and gold trim and chandeliers ... and I'm not phased anymore ... but I'm still looking around at show schedules and my body is still trying to adjust to running and flipping around every day. Great times though. I wouldn't trade it for anything right now. It's an amazing experience to be here.

Ok ... well I'm pretty fried. I'm pretty sure I'm just rambling at this point so I'm going to call this a night. I'll be getting pictures and videos up very soon and keep a better update on things!

I'm out!
