Day Four - Champagne in a Limousine

Well it's been an interesting evening. It started with the free cocktail hour in the foyer where we totally trashed 'Seasons of Love' - we really need an accompanist. Then, all of us in the blue tour t-shirts, we made our way down to Mimi's restaurant which was actually rather nice food. The waiter was so camp and Paul Tame flirted outrageously but in the end it was Alistair Wellman who he gave his number to. It was embarassing to watch it all going on.

We were asked if we'd like to sing and Paul and a couple of others were keen not to, so we decided not to... then after Paul had left John Holt went and agreed that we'd sing 'Stand By Your Man'. By the time they were ready for us, more people had left and we trashed this piece as well, but the audience seemed to like it...

After dinner it was back to the hotel to meet the limousines that Paul had booked for an evening sightseeing. Until we got going, I was fairly indifferent about the idea, but there is something that feels classy about being driven around Washington in a stretched limousine, sipping champagne. We visited most of the major monuments in the city, which are all floodlit at night. Plenty of photos, but a bit of a rush as we were on a schedule. Something I'd like to do again at my own pace.

Just ordered breakfast by Room Service because we're totally worn out. Tomorrow is going to be a morning lying in I think. The call time for the show tomorrow night isn't until 2pm, so we're going to be lazing around in the morning.

Good night.
