It has come to a close. Tonight we play with Mates of State in Tallahassee at the Club Downunder. Not really a big fan, but definitely a well paying gig.
Went swimming in the ocean for the first time in probably 2 years the other day in Virginia Beach. Sad, seeing that I live less than an hour from a beach.
We played at a venue/restaurant called The Boot, in reference to Italy. We were offered a family style pasta dinner that was amazing and contained all fresh local ingredients. A great beer and wine selection, the wines were Virginia and Italian exclusive wines, and the rest of the menu was amazing. Definitely check the spot out if you ever happen to be in Norfolk, VA.
Greenville, NC was kind of a bust. I am going to skip that show. No point.
Charleston, SC was great, as usual. This was our 3rd or 4th time playing the Tin Roof there and I really dig the place. They take care of us really well there. We ate good dogs for cheap and drank a lot, for less. Went into downtown Charleston in the batmobile, well atleast the the car that was used in the original batman series in the 60's. dope.
Meant to buy a bottle of their Sweet Tea Vodka and bring it home. Got drunk. Forgot.
Yesterday we played the REAL BIG DEAL festival in Gainesville and, despite first thoughts, wasn't really that bad for a new fest. Carnie food, 3 or 4 stages, all named something great....Ultimate stage, Amazing Stage, Awesome, Stage, etc....and some reputable acts. WHOLE WHEAT BREAD.
Like I said, tonight is the last night, and thnk we're all ready to be home. The factors of touring can be really taxing internally and externally and can begin to drive you and those around you crazy. 3 weeks is enough....without a bus. gimme a bus and I'll stay away for ever. promise.
So, it's done. see yall tomorrow. I expect to see some of you at BARBQ, cuz i have to work tomorrow night. be nice. come say hello. BA-BOP!
