Things are starting to get wrapped up here in the studio; one by one, songs are being crossed off the big board. (Yes, we really have a big board, it's in the kitchen! You'll see it in some upcoming studio videos. I'm working hard on them, I promise!) Today, for the most part, is a discussion and game-plan day, so I'm not videotaping at the moment, which gives me some free time to sort through hours of video and hundreds of pictures, and while my dying computer is trying to process all that information, I thought I'd do about the only thing I can do on it while it works away, which is type up all that we've been up to! Aren't you guys (and girls) lucky? Haha. On that same note, if any of you have a brand new Macbook Pro that you really don't like and aren't sure what to do with, feel free to send it my way so I can get some of this stuff done a little quicker... ;)
For the last 2 weekends, we packed our things up and drove an insanely long distance to Kansas and back, first to Wichita, and then to Dodge City. The trip to Wichita was a quick one, we showed up that morning, played the show, and left shortly after the set was over. Unfortunately, we missed out on seeing both our good friends in Texas Hippie Coalition, as well as rock legends, Styx. That's what happens on these one-off shows, though. The second trip, we had some hotel rooms waiting for us in Dodge City, so we got to go out the night before the show for an AMAZING dinner, as well as some fun with old friends. Then, we were able to get a decent night's rest, and get crazy at a hell of a fun show with Halestorm the next night! Then we had another full night's rest before we made the 17 hour drive back to the studio the next day.
This weekend, we have 3 great shows coming up! First up, Kaukauna, WI, at JJ Maloney's on Saturday, Sunday we'll be in Sioux Falls, SD, at Rookie's, and finally we will be getting crazy with Godsmack in Sturgis, SD, to kick off bike week! This will be the first trip to Sturgis for all of us, and we're very excited!
Other than my long-overdue purchase of the Ghostbusters 1 and 2 box set last night, I think that's about all that's been new. My mind is kind off off today, so if I remember anything else, I'll let you know! Hope all of you are having a great summer, and we can't wait to see everyone!
