Libertyville, Illinois yesterday. Austin's Fuel Room is always a good time. It was one of the first venues I ever had a show at when I started touring way back as a lad, and it's always been a warm welcome. We've got many great fans in the area and in general is a pretty cool place to spend a day. A quick drop of our gear left a considerable amount of time to get down to some business.
After sending out my daily plethora of emails, phone calls, and texts, I had a chance to hang out with the guys. Despite all of us living together while on the road, sometimes "bro time" as I like to call it, doesn't come as often as one might think. Hanging with the dudes is always a good time and without question a great laugh. Not much more satisfies the soul I'm sure as humor. Aaaaaaaand, even with all the middle school girl giggling we may or may not have participated in, I even managed to sneak in a nap.
The show, as usual went very well. Although it wasn't the largest turnout we've ever pulled at the Fuel Room, given the current state of the economy and the super low concert attendance in all of music at the time, I was by no means dissatisfied with the turn out. It was a good show, and a good time seeing a lot of familiar faces.
Post show, we spent a brief amount of time hanging out with the gents from Eve To Adam. Really nice guys, super cool, and it was fun to spend some time with some guys that were just trying to chill out, relaz and have a good time. That wound out the evening up to going back to the hotel and getting some rest. A not so naturally occurring resource on the road, we had a bounty of time to sleep as the drive to Joliet was as short as you could hope for in this lifestyle. I guess it will have to make up for the next two days when we'll be up and at it before the sun comes up. :( It's all good though, no worries, we all love to do what we're doing. Which reminds me of something a wise man once told me, which I will end today's rambling with,
"Once you find a job you love doing, you won't work another day for the rest of your life."
