We’re right in the middle of the show in Manhattan. Doug is delivering his monologue at this moment.
We arrived in Secaucus, NJ last night at 3am and parked in a Walmart parking lot. Around 10:30am we got up and started the logistics. We picked up a rental truck and got a tire changed on the trailer. Then, back at Walmart, we moved a bunch of equipment from the trailer to the truck.
Around noon, we climbed into the cab of the rental truck (yes, all four of us in a two-seat cab). We journeyed through the Lincoln Tunnel and fought Manhattan traffic to get to Marble Church at 5th Avenue and 29th Street. It’s an awesome church, dating back to the 1780s. But it’s surely most famous for the 52-year tenure of Rev. Norman Vincent Peale, the author of The Power of Positive Thinking.
Well, it’s a great show (so far) and a great crowd. I gotta run and do my monologue!

Some of the Roadshows were HOT, and by that I don't mean "cool." I mean they were hot, like sweaty, humid, disgustingly hot. Of course, there were lots of comments about how the heat made it feel like a real, old-timey revival, and lots of jokes about us wearing three-piece wool frock suits. The
