RRT3 – DAY 1: SALT LAKE CITY, UT
Posted by terrance | Filed under Repo Road Tour 3
Based on the overwhelming successes of Repo Road Tours 1 & 2, REPO!’s director, Darren Lynn Bousman, and I, are embarking on a 3rd and final U.S. tour. This time, we’re attempting to outdo ourselves: more stops, more merchandise, more guest appearances!
But, as always, bigger plans equal bigger complications. We’ve spent the last 4 weeks [...]

January 14, 2009.
It’s 6:00am. I crawl out of bed, splash some water on my face, pack up my things, & head downstairs to the hotel’s lobby. REPO!’s co-creator, Darren Smith, and I have an 8 o’clock flight this morning—with an hour layover in Denver—en route to Indianapolis: our 2nd stop of Repo Road Tour 3. [...]

January 15, 2009.
It’s early. Way too early to be awake. Dragging my luggage (and my tired knuckles), I ride the elevator down to the hotel’s lobby. REPO!’s co-creator, Darren Smith, is already there, reading a newspaper, sipping on hotel lobby coffee. He looks as tired as I feel. There’s no sign of tour manager Spooky [...]
RRT3 – DAY 4: RUTHERFORD, NJ

Today, actress Alexa Vega takes over the role of Repo Road Tour 3 driver—perhaps her most difficult “part” to date. Not because Alexa isn’t a great driver. She is. And not because she isn’t patient, pleasant, & one hell of a navigator. Alexa’s all of these things, and more. But Alexa, poor Alexa, is about [...]
RRT3 – DAY 5: GREENBELT, MD
Posted by terrance | Filed under Repo Road Tour 3
Tonight is our only midnight screening on Repo Road Tour 3, which is exciting. Exciting because 1) REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA screams “midnight movie”, and 2) this later start time means that maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to catch up on a little sleep before tonight’s show.

It’s 11:00am. We meet downstairs, check [...]
RRT3 – DAY 6: CINCINNATI, OH

Today we are losing Alexa Vega. She’s been a real trooper, braving the Repo Road Tour for the past 3 nights, putting up with us, the REPO! Boys, and our REPO! Boy antics. I’m sad to see her go. Alexa’s been a real source of light on the tour—for us, and the fans—and because of [...]

Today, we drive. This is the 1st day in 7 days that we do have not have a REPO! screening to go to. So, today, we drive. We drive 353 miles to Saint Louis, Missouri. We drive with the hopes of reaching the city before sundown to sit down around a table, like [...]

Posted by terrance | Filed under Repo Road Tour 3
Phoenix, Arizona: stop number 10 on Repo Road Tour 3. There are 2 REPO! screenings tonight (a 9:00pm and a midnight) at Chandler Cinemas. And hopefully good things come in 2s in AZ, because this is our 2nd tour stop at the Chandler—the 1st being in December on RRT2. Since this is the only venue/city [...]
