Welcome to Stirring it Up on the Road.
Today we land in Glasgow, which is not that far from Edinburgh.
But it feels like a completely different place when you get there.
The architecture changes, everyone's accents changed, energy was different.
I found it really interesting to realize how close by they are, but have completely different vibes.
That shift is really quite important, I think.
And then you understand why Edinburgh and Glaswegians, you know, are very clear that they're very different cities.
You know what a great place Glasgow is.
And Glasgow.
I loved visiting the Sits.
I've known so many actors who've gone through the Citizens Theater and I didn't know how old it was.
I didn't know so much about the history of the Sits and so much about where it is in the Gaubels, which was the like hardcore part of Glasgow.
So it's interesting to me.
The art and passionate creativity so often come out of hardship and are born in the center of where things are most difficult.
And the sit, I just thought was a brilliant, brilliant example of something so beautiful and powerful and loved to those people.
I can't wait for them to reopen because I'm going to go up there.
Yes.
We've been invited to a show when they reopen and we will be there in a heartbeat.
I loved these guys.
We also went to the University Cafe.
