Bozeman, Montana

Today's show was in beautiful Bozeman, Montana.  Our drive from last night's hotel was only 29 miles!  We're used to driving hundreds of miles per day, so this one almost felt like cheating!

The show was at Gallatin Valley Mall:

This is a great place!  We arrived early so we had a chance to look around.  This mall has quite a few unique stores.  They also have fun things to do, such as this giant Candyland game that the kids absolutely LOVED:

Isn't that great?  You move around the giant pieces as you actually walk through the game.  We had never seen that before!

As for our two shows today, the mall did an amazing job of advertising.  There were signs everywhere, both large and small:

This was our performance spot before the stage was assembled:

. . . and after, complete with our show ready to go:

If you'd called the mall's phone number today, you would have heard an ad for our show.  They also made announcements throughout the mall 5 minutes before showtime.

The actual shows were fun!

Thanks to everyone at Gallatin Valley Mall!  We had a blast!

After each show, we have a fairly extensive load out.  Here's what that looks like:

We have it down to a science, though, so it really doesn't take too long.  For the load out, we're  no longer dressed like performers, of course, but here's Paula with the show hair still going on (kinda looks like knobs on a giraffe's head- but looks great on stage!):

We're staying the night 137 miles away in Billings, Montana.  Tomorrow we head for one of our favorite states- South Dakota.  We have a couple of days off before our show in Belle Fourche.  If you're in the area, come see a great show with some new magic!
