Some highlights of the tour:
- Train rides through DC and Maryland.
- Driving around aimlessly looking at monuments as it was too cold and windy to get out of the car.
- Standing in front of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, and crying.
- Atomic Books! Owners and staff alike, simply genius. After the event I hung out downstairs and offered emotional support for a broken boiler (it might be wise to avoid my company when you need emotional support).
- Dinner with Baltimore & DC friends including some roller derby mamas.
- Walking with China to see the Christmas lights.
- Meeting Byron at odd and unscripted moments.
- Losing my voice several times but always within reasonable distance of stores that sell remedies.
- Madcap and mildly distressing runs to various airports, often at four in the morning.
- Flying five times in eight days.
And the most important:
- Fabulous audiences who laugh at all the right places!
