REPO ROAD TOUR DAY ONE: PORTLAND, OR

Posted by terrance | Filed under Repo Road Tour 1

And so it begins…the 7-city, 7-night road tour of REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA!  What’s the Repo Road Tour, say you?  In an effort to share our little rock-opera-that-could with audiences not currently part of our film’s limited theatrical release, director Darren Lynn Bousman and I are going cross-country to screen our movie and to meet [...]

REPO ROAD TOUR DAY TWO: SEATTLE, WA

Posted by terrance | Filed under Repo Road Tour 1

We sleep in…and it is glorious!  Joe, C.J., Darren & I meet downstairs in the hotel lobby.  It’s noon.  We grab a coffee and a pastry, then jump into our rental car – a Highlander – and begin making our drive to Seattle.
3-hours of trees and open fields zip by, and then, out of nowhere: [...]

REPO ROAD TOUR DAY THREE: CHICAGO, IL

Posted by terrance | Filed under Repo Road Tour 1

The alarm goes off at 5:45am.  We get up and immediately hook our digital cameras to our laptops to download photos from the last 2 nights – evidence of the overwhelming success of the Repo Road Tour, evidence of REPO!’s rabid fan base – and email them to our distributors before heading to the airport.  [...]

REPO ROAD TOUR DAY FOUR: KANSAS CITY, KS

Posted by terrance | Filed under Repo Road Tour 1

It’s 9:00am.  Darren and I have an hour to get ready, download photos for our daily emailed update to REPO!’s producers, conduct a telephone interview with a radio station, and catch a cab to the airport.  Our groggy interview voices betray our physical states: tired, tired, and tired.
I look out the cab’s windows.  We pass [...]

REPO ROAD TOUR DAY FIVE: PITTSBURGH, PA

Posted by terrance | Filed under Repo Road Tour 1

It’s 5:00am.  Darren’s dad drives us to the airport to catch our 7:30 flight.  We hit the McDonald’s drive-thru for breakfast—a decision I regret while sitting on the plane; no sleep mixed with a belly full of caffeine and Mcbreakfast is an unpleasant travel combo.
We have a layover at Dulles Airport and don’t arrive in [...]

REPO ROAD TOUR DAY SIX: ATLANTA, GA

Posted by terrance | Filed under Repo Road Tour 1

We have a 10:05am flight to Atlanta.  Thankfully, DLB & I called a cab the night before (Pittsburgh is a great town, but their cab services suck!) and arranged to meet our driver downstairs at our hotel at 7:30.  We toss our luggage into the back of the cab and are off to the airport, [...]

REPO ROAD TOUR DAY SEVEN: ORLANDO, FL

Posted by terrance | Filed under Repo Road Tour 1

We have an 11:50 flight this morning, but considering that it’s an hour drive from Darren’s brother’s house to the airport, there is no sleeping-in for the Repo Men.  Lance is kind enough to drive us to the airport, and we get there in record time, say our good-byes, and enter the airport en route [...]
