As you may have guessed, we couldn't pass the opportunity to stop by Chippewa Falls while we were in Eau Claire and go on the Leinenkugel's Brewery tour. It proved to be a great pit for us to throw our per diem into, as we bought wonderful and important items like this sign that Bill found! Our tour guide was cool, and reminded us of several people back at The Rep, and yes, he HAS seen the show! It's important to get the Leinie's love out there, because, as well all know, it's da best beer in the whole U.S. of A.!
At this point I misplaced my camera for a few days, so I don't have much in terms of what the theater looks like. 1100 seats, dark house!We did two performances in Eau Claire, and really enjoyed the downtown area that we were in. Our hotel, the Ramada, was just a block away, and there were some fun eateries and bars nearby (yes, there was karaoke). Wednesday night at the hotel bar was ESPECIALLY fun, perhaps in part because Bill, Craig, and I had all been up and working since 6:45 am! The grand tally for the day was that Bill and I spent about 18 hours straight together...
In other news, we had a guest pianist in Eau Claire, Jake Endres, who has done the show with these guys before. It was really cool to hear someone else playing Jimmy's music; we noticed different accents here and there that we hadn't heard before.
Next up...3 days straight all in different venues and a blizzard thrown in for good measure!
