Two days after leaving Vancouver -- traveling via Air Canada/Jet Star to Sydney then Adelaide -- we are halfway around the world, getting set to stage Diamond Girls at the National Wine Centre. We did manage to arrive without our set/hockey bag, so that is creating some stress. Thankfully we have two more days to settle in before we open at 4:30 pm on March 3rd. I'm hopeful Amanda will be doing so with our back drops, bench, and bat!
We're staying in Glenelg, about 45 minutes from the CBD/Fringe because -- well, if you're traveling 15 000 km from home, you might as well be a stone's throw from the beach. And what a beach. We can hardly wait to run beside it, dive into it, and dig our toes in the sand. Looking forward to supplying you with updates (and pictures) of our adventures down under. Goodday mate!

In just 10 days, Diamond Girls will head Down Under for the Adelaide Fringe Festival. The last few weeks has been a whirlwind of preparation, as you can see from the list below:
Find venues - check! Apply for work visas - check! Purchase public liability and travel insurance - check! Acquire hockey bag for transporting set (how Canadian, eh?) - check! Be a presence daily on Twitter and Facebook - check! Create package of materials for YEP! school program - check! Order promotional banner (pictured below) and flyers - check! Order company T-shirts (pictured above) - check! Coordinate performance in Saskatoon - check! Checking the weather forecast in Adelaide daily - check! So looking forward to seeing what fruit all our labours will yield. |
