Colorado Springs

It's been an interesting and very fun time here in Colorado Springs!  I have only a few days left to enjoy it.


First of all, I have a debt of gratitude for the two businesses here that have allowed me their hospitality while in town:

The Zodiac Venue & Bar

and 

The Green Line Grill
FB Page:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Green-Line-Grill/172900549560923

Both of these fine establishments work in conjunction with one another and foster a very friendly, happy atmosphere.  They have a regular base of patrons who love them of course, but they can always find room for new faces and friends.  So please stop and visit them if you are in Colorado Springs!!

The show on Feb 7th with Echo at Zodiac Venue & Bar was so much fun!  I offered to record it and am working on getting those videos out currently to my fellow performers.

I've made several good friends here, with the promise of more to follow this Friday at the next show here at Zodiac with the Peaks and Pasties troupe.

I'm excited to be starting a costume project for my new good friend Echo and possibly for a few other fellow performers here in town.  I am very appreciative for the work!  Making the cool gear is what I really dig after all.


There have been yet more technical difficulties with the Timorous Beastie here... I accidentally helped to short out the main power plug because I didn't realize I'd turned a heater on a higher setting... so that isn't helping anything.  I have an extension running out now from where I'm thankfully able to park (SO grateful for that!!) so I can run a little heat cause it's cold in CO in Feb... go figure!  


My next stop is Seattle and I head out after the show on Saturday AM.  Looks like more snow is on the way too... but time mandates I head out anyway.  I am forced to take the more boring route to save time and fuel (less mountains) and head up 25 North.  Praying the winds will not be too strong, but I've driven up that way before once a long time ago.  Planning many repairs on the RV while in Seattle as well as much needed time to visit with an old friend.  


Then I am not so sure as I was yesterday about where the path will lead me. Lack of funds is quickly becoming an issue. Regardless, I must press forward as long as I have money for gas, propane and food for myself.  Of course there are many other costs of living and bills which need maintained but those can, if need be, fall to the wayside.  I am looking for a seasonal Workamper job if I can find one - that would aid me in RV hookups at least, but at best would offer a wage too... and put me in one spot for several months.


My next definitive destination lies South in New Mexico and the 2 shows I have in Albuquerque on March 28th and April 4th.

I know I am going to stop in Phoenix on the way to NM regardless as I have unfinished business there with a friend and will happily see it done.... or begun... either way, it's set in motion. 


On another note, I have very exciting news in the works for June and July but it's early days yet so am not at liberty to go into the possibilities, but they are great and uplifting.  Fingers crossed I have much good news to share soon!  In the mean time, trying to keep on keepin' on. It's cold out here and flying solo is lonely... but also offers much freedom. Now it's what is done with that "freedom" that matters.....
