| CHARLESTON, WV JANUARY 18-20 |
| Greetings from the Mountaineer State! This week I have been in Kentucky and West Virginia. Overall it has been pretty uneventful. All three nights were "hotel gigs" which means not much driving. It's also been downright cold and snowy in these mountains and I haven't left the comforts of my room unless needed. |
| Thursday night I worked in the small town of Prestonsburg, KY. Prestonsburg is located in the hills about an hour South-east of Lexington. The first time I was here, I didn't have the best show, but this time was different. The place was packed and everyone had a great time. On my way out of town I drove past at least 100 coal trucks waiting to pick up their loads. I have never seen so much coal in my life! |
| The weekend began in Charleston, WV. Charleston is the capital of the state and is located at the confluence of the Elk and Kanawha Rivers in Kanawha County. The hotel I was working in is currently being remodeled but audiences didn't seem to mind the make-shift microphone and lights. The lobby was home to a parrot who entertained me all weekend. She could whistle, talk, and even laugh. That's more than a few of my ex-girlfriends could ever do. |
| It was my first time working in Charleston and overall things went well. I didn't sell much merchandise but the audiences definetly had a good time anyway. Everyone was really nice and appreciative. To help compensate my losses, I decided to purchase a Powerball ticket worth $205 million. As it turns out, it wasn't worth jack, but was great for picking my teeth. Grrr.... Until next week... Danny :-) |
