Haiku #213 - Confusion

turns out I couldn't
unlock my room with the key
from last night's hotel

(But at least I was at the right room.) Wichita for a couple nights!

Haiku #176 - Hotel

it's the little things
microwave and a fridge and
room to do yoga

Haiku #168 - Kokopelli Goes to Dallas

"night will become day
may your best[est] dreams begin
please do not disturb"


Here for two weeks - places to see and things to do, but first, a nap!  

Haiku #167 - Oklahoma

rooms aren't ready yet
kill an hour or so next door
at bowling alley


We were in Oklahoma over the weekend, and tomorrow we're heading to Dallas for two weeks!  Everything's bigger in Texas, and as such, I hear Kurt and I get a grand piano in our office!

Haiku #160 - Lost in Hotel

what's my room number?
occupational hazard
of being on tour

Haiku #68 - One-nighters

hotel one-nighters
illustrate well the concept 
of "this too shall pass"


Whether it's a mysterious smell reminiscent of a floral crime scene cover-up, or crisp 1000-count sheets, it's over quickly.  


But never mind that - I'm back in the city, and looking forward to sleeping in the same place for 35 nights in a row!  35 nights that will still pass quickly...

Haiku #27 - Laundry Logistics

join the laundry queue

for the washer-dryer - or

washer-"less-wetter"

Let me explain the logistics of one-nighters on the road:

*get up (sometimes offensively early, after having finished work around 10 or 11 pm) to get on the bus to the next city

*sleep/read/listen to music, etc. on the bus.  

*barring delays caused by traffic, mechanical problems, etc., arrive and check into the hotel in time to have a couple hours or so free before 

heading...

*to the theater for soundcheck, company meeting, prep/warm up for the show

*there's a dinner break in here somewhere

*do the show

*back to the hotel (or out, for the young and restless among us)

*sleep (or not)

So, now that we're in one place for a few nights, you can imagine the rush to do laundry.  30 people, give or take, who care about their appearance, more or less, one washer-dryer that sort of works (but it's cheap!).

Haiku #26 - Hotel (Cushy)

Thousand thread count sheets
Wifi that works, for a change
It's the little things
