Been A Long Time..........

It's been two and a half months since the last "from the road", and boy have we logged in some miles...............August started off up in Wisconsin, two great nights both in Sheboygan, and Elkhart Lake, thanks to Jason Popp and Co. for everything up there. The end of the month kicked off The Places We Lived Tour, one night at the High Dive in Champaign, followed up by two kick ass nights at Paulie's(R.I.P) in B-town. Next up was Sept 5. at the Metro in Chicago, this was the start of a September run that included a string of dates with Ha Ha Tonka, if you didn't get to catch these guys on the tour, please check them out. The tour took us all around the midwest, thanks to all who attended these shows, always a blast to see everyone out. Also thanks to Ha Ha Tonka, John Henry and the Engine, Little Man, and all of the other acts we did shows with during the tour.

After we parted ways with the guys from HHT in Cincy, We rolled into the Big Apple, for a week of press......including Fearless TV a nationally syndicated music show(stay tuned for air date). We were also able to attend the Broadway show Hairspray, compliments of George Wendt, Thanks to George for having us, the show was amazing, never been to a Broadway show before....quite an experience, i reccommend it! Our week in the NYC ended up with two great shows, one at Piano's in Manhattan, and one at Union Hall in Brooklyn. Good to see everyone in NYC. Thanks to Jersey Jim, Steve, and Sarah for all of the NYC hospitality, see you all next time.

Long trip home from NY, were able to sleep in our own beds for three days! Then we were off to the Rockies. Great show last Sat at the Highland Pacific in Denver. Good to see everyone in Denver again, its been too long! For some reason, I think there were more people from IL at the show than people from CO.......weird.....anyway, We stayed up in the mountains with our good friend Amy after the show, and it snowed! Woke up to great views of the snow covered mountains and trees. Sunday night was Breckenridge, great show, hope to get back during ski season.

Which leads us up to the last two nights, Boise, ID and Seattle, WA with Rose Hill Drive, thanks to everyone who came out in Boise, and Seattle.......RHD is a great rock trio, looking forward to next couple nights with them in Bellingham, WA and Portland, OR

REMINDER: OCT 24th we will be back in Chicago for a FREE SHOW at the Double Door. It is a first come first serve kind of thing so i recommend getting there early to ensure you get in. Hope to see everyone there!
