Got into Salt Lake City yesterday. We’d been here once before on one of the early Merry tours, Jon thinks A CARESS OF TWILIGHT. Okay, he’s sure, and I have no idea. But that entire tour must have been a blur because I don’t remember the mountains or this huge lake. As in The Salt Lake. From the air the mountains are like Rocky Mountain big, and the lake is an inland sea and I remember none of it. The mountains are amazing, and they ring the entire city. How did I miss them?
Jon reminds me, that we’d had a late event the night before we came here last. We got in at two in the afternoon, did local publicity, then had the signing, then had to get up for a car and a plane at four in them morning. We had two hours of sleep the night before we hit Salt Lake, and that night. I guess you can get so tired you can miss an entire mountain range.
But we’re trying something more relaxed for this tour. All Three of us actually got to have dinner at Howard Taylor’s house last night. Howard Taylor who writes and draws Schlock Mercenary, one of our favorite on-line comics. We got to meet his charming family, and he made wonderful kabobs on the grill. We got to talk, and do relaxing visiting, which was very nice. Then Howard drove us back to the hotel, and we got to sleep at a reasonable hour. Yea!
This morning we did the Todd and Erin Show on KBEE-FM. It was fun, and Erin stated on mike that she was total fan-girling. Not true. She behaved herself just fine. It was a fun interview and Charles remarked later that he’d never seen a live radio interview before. Jon and I sort of looked at each other. We hadn’t realized that Charles had never seen us do radio before. I think we’re just getting so used to traveling with him that we forget how much tour he’s not seen yet. So many new experiences await him. Let’s hope he gets to skip all the bad ones we’ve had over the years and he gets to see only the bright and shiny.
