The photo you see above is our new crew photo- no one told us to wear black, it's just what we wear EVERY day...
So here we are in Edmonton, Alberta! To backtrack, Banff was just beautiful. The first show went really well, and the town was so cute. It was the like Canadian version of Aspen. All of the bars and restaurants were cute little cabin-type places. People just come walking in for a beer in their ski gear. A group of us found a great place called Salt Lik on Saturday and we hung out by their fire for hours.
Edmonton is much warmer than Banff was. There are only two cities in Alberta, and this is one of them. (The other being Calgary, which we go to for the second half of the week). It is flat plains, and very congested. The company has discovered The Old Spaghetti Factory up here- the best cheap restaurant around! It is a chain, and dinner includes salad or soup, your entree, ice cream, and coffee. For about $12! I have already eaten dinner there twice, and will probably go again.
The most amazing thing about Edmonton- the West Edmonton Mall! It is the largest mall in the whole world, built by the Mall of America people. We spent about 5 hours there yesterday, and it was overwhelming. On top of the water park, submarine, seal show, skating rink, roller coaster, IMAX, Chinatown, and Bourbon Street, they have over 800 stores, and 100 restaurants. We are doing a Secret Santa, so I used my time there to take care of that, and found a great top on sale at Club Monaco. (Mom, it fits).
I LOST MY CAMERA IN BANFF! I am so upset. Thankfully I had already downloaded the few pictures from Casey's wedding I had on there, but now I need to wait about a week until we are back in the U.S. to buy a new one. I am photo stalking my friends to email me theirs, but until then, no new fun pics. :(
Our shows here are sold out both nights to audiences of 2,300. Work has been nuts- the media in Canada eat us up compared to the U.S. so I have been going non-stop. The other half of my job is selling the merchandise, but we don't sell in Canada, so I have some free time during the show. I still go to the theatre, just to support the troops.
Off to Red Deer, Alberta tomorrow, some hole-in-the-wall town where we are playing in an ice arena. Glamorous, huh?!
