The Lost Colony was cancelled tonight due to the heavy blanket of smoke from the wildfires near Stumpy Point, about 30 miles away from Roanoke Island. Oral history says that this is the first time The Big Show has ever been cancelled for this particular reason.
We had been "advised" that a cancellation was probable. We didn't say a word - we just went about our pre-show business in the smoke, coughing.
At 8 o'clock we cancelled.
Is not a sunset backstage at The Lost Colony the most beautiful place you've ever been? Does not your heart live there?
Of course it does, unless you've never been there.
Here's a picture taken from the back dock this evening at 7:45.
Yes, my heart does live here on this island. Guess that's why we are buying land here!
