Today was an epic day in El Paso, TX, for Heather Ray and me. We started our Valentine’s Day pre-show festivities by meeting up with Heather’s aunt (who lives nearby) at Starbucks. After coffee, we headed downtown to Dave’s Pawn Shop, where you could buy everything from comic books to a real mummy and everything in between. Then, we crossed the street where Heather found two Detroit Lions jerseys at a flea market. We got back in the truck and drove up Scenic Overlook Drive to watch the sunset over the mountains. Then, we headed back to our hotel which was located on Fort Bliss to get ready for our show. We headed to the country club and we once again took the stage to perform a dueling pianos show (representing NY/NY Dueling Pianos). Mid-show, I got a standing ovation for playing “El Paso” for the crowd! The theme was “Carnival of Love”, and someone took this to the extreme by proposing to her boyfriend during our show! Heather is amazing, and a great friend to hang out and also perform with. We loaded out after the show and hit the road, and we’re currently headed to an AirBnB. We just stopped at a gas station where we saw Dracula, near the Wienerschnitzel Motel.
Mummies and sunsets and hot dogs and Dracula! What a weird and fun Valentine’s Day!
