Columbus, OH

This month I'll be home for about 10 days, and today is one of them. We flew in from St. Louis this morning after a show in Cape Girardeu, MO last night.

One of Jeff's hobbies is building and flying remote control helicopters (he also has a real helicoper pilot's license). A while back he started flying the remote controlled helicopters in the arena. He got Brian into it recently, so they'll both have their little planes and copters flying around. I'm not sure who's idea it was, but someone came up with the idea to get some Nerf guns to shoot Brian's plane. Robin and Marnell liked the idea, so yesterday Marnell had the runner get three Nerf guns. Most of the crew was sitting out at front of house (where the camera, lighting and audio control is) just watching them with the guns hidden. Then Robin gave a signal and three of the guys started firing at Brian's plane. I don't think any of them hit it, but after another try they did. Everyone got a pretty big kick out of it. Boys will be boys!

Jeff also recorded some more e-card greetings for Father's Day last night. He had Achmed with him and they're pretty funny. Go to jeffdunham.com in a couple of days to check them out!

We didn't have to leave the venue right away after the show last night since we were flying out this morning, so we had a little cookout outside of the bus. We tried doing that before, but it got colder than expected so they just cooked outside and we ate inside. Last night was nice enough for us to sit outside for most of the time. Not everyone sat outside, but I did. It was nice getting to hang out outside with a hot dog and a beer.

Next up is a run of 5 shows in Canada. I may not have phone and internet access up there because of all the extra charges. After that we're staying a couple of days in Montana. One of the days we're doing some white water rafting! Then we have two shows in Montana, then back to Columbus, then to Alaska, and we're done for a while! I think there are about 4 shows we'll go do in July, one in August, and none in September. Then October it goes into full swing again!
