I'm back, and to prove it, I'm here. What a day! Up at five-thirty, then the flight took off a half-hour late because some jerks got on at the last minute and their luggage had to be brought to the plane and loaded after all the other luggage had already been put in the hold. Unbelievable. So, we actually got in about ten minutes late - happily, the car was waiting for me and there was no traffic going to my house. My driver gave me what he felt would be the fastest way to Brea to avoid all the usual traffic snarles, and boy am I glad he did. I was able to leave the house (I had to get gas first, though) and be on the freeway by five to one. And I was able to go about seventy-five the entire way and got to the theater at twenty of two - time to spare. I met with Susan, who told me last night's show went well (we recorded that, too) but that there were some serious flubs and that she would try to cover them today. I went out and did my ususal laugh and applause test, which the audience was delighted with and then Susan began the show. She was terrific, the audience ate her up, and unless there are some really great stuff from the night before I only heard about two or three things where I know we'll have to use stuff from the night before - otherwise, she was really on it, sounded great, and all was well. Then I came back, had an obscene amount of food at Casa Vega (with friend Jessica, who was assisting me today) and now I am home and so ready to sit on my couch like so much fish, which I shall now do.
The Egan CD is not for Kritzerland - it will be out on LML Records, where Susan has her other CDs. But, she really wanted me to do it and since I adore her I said yes.
