We are the champions, my friends

It's done.

We performed 51 shows in 49 days. It was a long seven-week journey, but we came out on top. Yesterday we had our grand finale show at the Wyllyotts, right here in Potters Bar. We had a fantastic show in a fantastic venue with a fantastic audience. It was definitely the best way to wrap up this attempt. We want to send a big thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout these past 6+ months. It was well worth it.

The team is not as exhausted as we thought we might be, but definitely ready to slow things down. This morning we had a meeting about what worked and what didn't, all in preparation for the next time. ;) Things will definitely be different, but this isn't the last you've heard of Star Citizen.

This week we're gathering all the evidence for Guinness World Records, tidying up the office and getting things ready for the next school year. Keep an eye out on the website where you will soon find some fact and figures about the Star Citizen tour.

It's the Final Countdown

We have been performing for 6 weeks, and now we have one left.
We began with 50 shows (actually 51), and we have successfully completed 40.
We have just 11 shows to do ... in 6 days.
It's the final countdown.

Today we are running a marathon, 3 shows in Hertford, Hitchin and Potters Bar. The team is psyched up and ready to take on this challenge (yet again), but this time we know what to expect, and the weather might be cooler. After today we seemingly race towards the end with two shows each of the next three days. Then we coast to the finish line.

We are family

We've been out of Potters Bar and living on the road for a week now. Well, not really living on the road as much as living with families. From Thursday to Sunday we were based in Shrewsbury for a show and a wedding. The Bacon's home was a bit crowded with family in-town for the wedding, so Annika and Disa got the pleasure of sleeping in a tent in the garden. It was great! We even laid out in the grass one night looking up at the stars, shining so bright. The wedding was beautiful, the Ceilidh dancing was a blast, and the family was generous and welcoming.

Bright and early Sunday morning we drove down to Westgate-on-Sea. Before an afternoon show, we got the chance to relax, swim in the sea, get cleaned up and meet a mass of Sam's family. A whopping 18 of them (5 children included!) filled out our audience that day. After the show we headed down to Brighton, our base for this week. Show load this week seems light (at least when we compare it to what next week will be), so we're getting a lot of time to relax. The girls have spent a good amount of time reading, and Sam has even managed to watch some movies. Sam's family, like Moira's, are generous and welcoming, making everyone feel comfortably at home while we're here.

In other breaking news, we had our biggest audience to date - 265!
