B-man here again,

So, just got done with the 4th show into the tour, it is nearly 4 in the morning and we are going to wake up in a few short hours and be on our way New Orleans!! Things are still going really well! Tonight was by far our best show playing wise, I think we will all agree on that, and we got some tastey ass Hop Jacks pizza with steak on it. . .ooooooooooooh ya. I have been having dreams about that pizza ever since we played at the Hop Jacks in Pennsacola last March, and it was everything i had hoped for. :-)

So by now we are all gettin really into our games of Catch Phrase on the rides to our shows and stuff. It is amazing how addictive that game can be! hahaha! We have all gotten pretty damn good at it too. . .except Matt, he seems to just be generally awful at describing things. Ha! sorry Matty, sad but true. hahaha! Tomorrow will be our first long drive to a show though, so he will have plenty more time to practice, as will we all!

So a recap of the last couple shows, The Hangout was fun and we got coupons for 80 dollars of free food which we used earlier on today. . .sooooooooo good, if you're ever in Gulf Shores, get a cheeseburger at the hangout, its 9 dollars, but, it is probably the best cheeseburger you will ever have. We did walk away from that show with the realization that we need to learn some covers though. Believe it or not, people in Gulf Shores and these other places have never heard of us! I know! I didn't see it coming either! So, they want to hear some songs they know and can sing along with. . .gosh, guess you have to give the people what they want huh? oh the entertainment biz, what a hard job. ha! So, needless to say we have spent the last couple days before shows learning and practicing some cover tunes we will try out this monday. Wish us luck, we will also bring some of them home to show our friends and family back up in Indiana if you are really nice and say please! okay you don't have to say please, but geeze guys learn some manners!

The next show was at The Office Lounge, a small bar right across the street from where we are staying. We played half acoustic, half electric and it was a blast really, we met some cool people and they enjoyed a good show, made our money and went home. Not too eventful of a night, especially when compared to tonight!! Mobile is a cuhrazy town! The was a trio playing outside of hopjacks with a Saxophone player, Tuba player, and a drummer, and they were tiiiiiiiight! We watched them during set breaks and they did some instrumental michael Jackson stuff! Everyone was out sporting Phat Rides and 20 inch rims, and we saw a dude hit on a transvestite without realizing it and freak out HARDCORE when he realized it was a he/she! One of the funniest things that has ever happened! lol!

The show was really cool too, we played up on the 10 foot high balcony above all the people eating! the annoying part was ALL of our equipment up the narrow stairs ( did anyone catch that reference? :)) to the balcony, the were spiral stairs too which made it even worse! ugh, the things we have to do for music and money! lol But yeah, what a fun night, and a fun last few days, just a few more ahead of us and we will be back home to entertain our close friends in Indiana, then of to New York!! Can't wait to see you guys! I am going to bed! I gots to get a bit o' sleep before the drive to "Norlins tomorruh."

~Peace, Love, and Good Vibrations~
