Hello from Sao Paulo!

Hello all. Just though I'd finally update the blog a bit. I'm down in Sao Paulo, Brazil until October 22nd. Then we go to Rio for
about a month and a half starting in November after a week off. My family isn't here yet-they'll be coming in September as we got our house rented and Cynthia's making sure everything starts off smoothly as it can.
The show is sold out just about for every show. We got great attendance in Chile and Argentina-but here literally all but one
show so far has been 100% sold out. The show that wasn't was at 90%-and that was because it was a kid's show. That was
a wacky show with a lot of screaming kids aged 6-13. There must have been a charity at work because these were kids from poor areas-they LOVED it. The screaming was wild-especially when the twin male acrobats came out and took off their jackets!
The 12-year old girls screamed so much I thought we were the Beatles in 1964.
The hotel is grand-but so far I haven't ventured out so much. I'm working on learning the recording software Logic-it's great but an easy way to spend time. Also-there is the reputation and some truth to it that Sao Paulo is somewhat dangerous. We are in a business area that is pretty safe but also away from a lot of the things to see in town. There is a lot of danger here that we've been told about so I'll be careful when I do go out. I'm sure that eventually we'll know where to go and when to do it.

I don't know exactly how these pictures will post-but there's one of me here in a burgundy shirt with a flower in it. I'm standing next to Sheryl-Lynne our house manager and next to her is Serge Maheux our drummer. CLICK ON PIX FOR BIGGER VIEW!
