My Little Pony, The Acropolis, and My Pants

I have taken to quickly writing posts, then coming back a day or two later and rewriting them a bit. Not editing, just rewording, adding missing details, and maybe making them less offensive to specific religions, ethnicities, or nationalties. Except the French, to whom I say "Où est la soiree? La soiree est dans mon pantalon."

Vive la revolution, indeed.

The above photo was taken from video shot during my headlining show of a few weeks back. I was floored by all the work so many people went to help make it a success. I am truly humbled and thankful for the efforts of Phil Torres and his band, who worked with my charts and made me sound great, to Scott, Chris, and Randy, our tech guys who helped make it look great (and then went above and beyond to help us add all the previously-mentioned effects at the Hero Party a week or so later), and to my really supportive cast and other friends from around the ship who came out and shouted and were generally just ...smurfy.

Below is a photo snapped of me yesterday, in front of the Parthenon at the Acropolis in Athens. Or it might be the Temple of Athena. Or, the Temple of Athena might be IN the Parthenon. Or it might be the Hall of Justice from the old Super Friends cartoon. I don't know, and apparently it's the only place I've ever been I think I actually know LESS about, having visited, than I did before I was there. Last year, we hit Piraeus/Athens, but we never made to the Acropolis because of time and schedules and miscommunication as to how far away from the port it was... so this time it was a priority to get there.


The other night the spa folk threw a party, whose theme is too generic to mention. It was nice, but was of course nothing approaching the party that Jamie and I threw. They did hand out squirt guns filled with various shots, which is a bad idea with Jamie and I around. FYI, do not shoot mixed vodka drinks from a squirt gun into someone's eye. On a ship, that's what's called a "code blue." Kusadasi again tomorrow... and I haven't written about Kusadasi the first time yet. Santorini today.
Oh yeah... This morning, I heard some exciting news:
Yes, Robert Downey, Jr. will be playing Iron Man.

That's not it. True, and I heard it this morning, but not nearly as exciting as:

An Australian scientist with too much time on his hands discovered that Neil Armstrong was misquoted on the moon landing, and his actual first words upon the moon landing were "Though it's cold and lonely in the deep, dark night, I can see paradise by the dashboard light."

That's not it either, and is only partially true.

Ths news is: My good buddy Matt Jones has started a blog. No, this one will be good. See, he has recently accepted a yearlong gig on the MY LITTLE PONY LIVE National Tour. His blog will chronicle his adventures in and out of L'Equus Petit. Click here for Matt's blog. Personally, I think that could be a book in the making.
