Mikey-Oliver National Tour 2008

Hi all. Don't faint, but I am so bored on this bus right now that I have decided to try to create a blog to document the rest of Mikey's tour. We have had quite a few days. We had a great time in Casper, Wyoming with the cast's 80's Roller Skating Party. Everyone got into the spirit of things and my hair made me look ten feet tall. Mikey was very cool looking with his DA blown hair and Jordache Jacket that Missy, John and Erin helped him find in a thrift store. Mikey had a great time and just let me say that I finally realize as my birthday is fast approaching that I can no longer Disco Roller Skate like I use to. After surviving barely going around the rink twice I turned the skates in for my sneakers! All this fun was followed by the bus trip from hell the next day. Missy, Mikey, Quentin, John and I all managed to get varying levels of food poisioned at the same time on one of the longest bus rides ever. The bus broke down on a Montana (I think) Mountain in the middle of a snow storm next to a tall sign with a Bear on it that said "Grizzly Encounters." It was very comforting in the dark. We were on the bus sick from 8am until about 1am. We are feeling much better now and the show yesterday was great in, no pun intended, "Great Falls" Montana. We are now on a 3 day bus trip to Kentucky. We passed by Mt. Rushmore but did not have time to stop. We will arrive at the hotel in Sioux FAlls Iowa tonight and then continue on tomorrow. If I am rambling it is because I now live on a bus! Will post photos once I learn how. Please see facebook for now. Love to all. Sue and Mikey

Susan - I love the eighties hair! So totally awesome! The blog is off to a great start! It is so much fun keeping track of you guys. John didn't tell me about the "Grizzley encounters" - scary - the kids must have loved that! Well take care and give Q lots of hugs for me. Wishing I was there...Gail - Quentin's Mom
