From Chibougamau to Jonquiere

So here's another quick update about our wacky tour misadventures.

We had a ridiculous time finding our B & B in Chibougamau; it was outside of town and our less than reliable GPS didn't help. We arrived in town late and ended up going down a dark and winding road that eventually turned into what appeared to be a rarely used hiking trail.

Between the tree branches scraping our windows, the abandoned mine and the full moon over the eerily calm lake we came to the conclusion that if we continued down the path we were on we would no doubt be assailed by countless axe wielding maniacs and undead horrors.

After turning around we eventually did find the place, which was beautifully located, and woke up the next morning completely unmurdered. We performed both shows for attentive, if somewhat rowdy audiences.

There was an interesting moment during I Don’t Like Mondays which was caused by my forgetting to preset a particular, and rather integral prop. I won't mention which prop but I will say that instead of flipping a coin we had to play rock paper scissors. Seriously. Sorry Charlotte!

It lead to an hilariously “meta” moment when I asked Chatlotte if she had a coin and really meant it. When it came to the moment later in that scene where Ellie calls Jake a "complete idiot" there was just a tinge of Charlotte speaking to Adam.

Anyway, after our shows we made the long drive back to the Saguenay and our destination, Jonquière. It was here that we discovered another item on the list of things you don't want to see when you arrive at a school: stairs, and lots of them. We tackled them with fervor as it was Friday and our last show of the week and they were literally our last obstacle before a day off.

The audience was largish and on the loud side but there was a fun Friday energy about the show. Our weekend was pretty low key, James set up the projector in our room at the B&B and we watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on the wall. Charlotte would be greatly disappointed if I didn't include a quick mention of Le Lotus D'Or, the amazingly kitsch Asian restaurant we ate at on Friday night whose ginger chicken apparently has rejuvenating powers.
