Mama, Mama I'm Coming Home

And we're back......home. 10 days into the tour and we decided to just say 'Fuck it' and quit. Nah, just playin. We in this shit for life. Actually we just had a weekend with no shows booked so we drove home to relax and eat food and take showers and not drink beer for a few days. The last few shows were not great, but there were some definate highlights amongst the past week. In Orlando we pulled up to the front of the venue about an hour before load in, and the bar appeared to be empty. We decided to go for a walk and maybe find a 7-11 or gas station or something. There were three dudes sitting on the curb right in front of our van, and not being familiar with that part of town or the location of anything, we decided to ask them in which direction we might find a convenience store. "We're not from around here, we drove in from Tampa. Hey, you guys wouldn't happen to be in Six Gallery would you?" Slightly astonished we replied, "Yea". "We love you guys! We drove all the way out to see you play!" That was a pretty rad conversation, and made my day. We kicked it with those guys for most of the night. They play in a band and gave us a two song demo, and I must say they rip. Flora Yield. Check them out.

We're heading back on the road again on Wednesday to play in Nashville, then we'll be back Thursday to play a benefit show in Columbus for our friend Nile who was involved in a car accident and shattered bones in both arms and had to have elbow replacement surgery. The bad news is he has about a million dollars in medical bills he has to pay, the good news is he now has bionic arms and somewhat resembles Jax from Mortal Combat. Come out and support our good friend!
