First off I want to thank everyone who has been actively searching us out on Pandora. We received confirmation on the night of our CD Release Party that we are IN! woo! thanks guys. The music is up there as of today, but it takes awhile to get our music....but...when you do hear it please give it a thumbs up so that we get more plays, oh and also we are currently under the Lucas Band Cates...which is par for the course since lucas's name is spelled incorrectly all the time...this time its just out of order....don't worry we and the kind folks of Pandora radio are working on it!
Second, thanks to everyone who was at the CD Release Party. It was a bonafide success and we owe it to you guys for making it great!
Ok on to the tour.....so far its been filled with uninvited guests in good ways for the most part. The first night was Wednesday; we drove from Madison to Atlanta and stayed in an old district with Luker's cousin. The street was a narrow old street and used to be a drive through crack house....more of a crack block since all the homes were old run down and filled with history. Now within the last 10 years developers have plowed the crack houses to the ground and built beautiful homes in what is now a blossoming district. I slept ok that night, but my dreams were filled with angst and feelings that ghosts were around me. At about 4 or 5 in the morning I was rousted by the sounds of someone in the Kitchen downstairs making breakfast and causing a ruckus.....Kenny was in another room and heard the same thing....Lucas was on a couch adjacent to the kitchen and also heard the breakfast making......he thought it was me and Kenny, we thought it was Luker's cousin.....turns out...no one was up at the time. Yup, weird. It also turns out that Luke had the same dream that I did...also weird.
Last night we played our acoustic show at Creekside in St. Augustine....on a deck....on the inter coastal waters....it was a nice first show of the tour..very relaxing. During the show a furry little raccoon kept creeping next to the stage toward the tables with the hopes of a snack, but was scared back a number of times before climbing the tree next to us to watch the show. We sold a ton of discs and felt pretty good about the start of tour.
Today Kenny and I were boogie boarding outside of the condo when I looked over his shoulder and saw a set of fins poking up from the water.....now the first thing i did was soil my swimsuit....that's a given, right? I started calling to Kenny; "Kenny! swim this way...now!" Kenny:"What?" Me: "Swim here, toward shore....NOW!" Kenny: "What?" Me: "Fins!" Kenny: "Oh shit!" Well we hauled to the shore were we were told by a worker that was setting up chairs that they were dolphin fins.....whew.....awesome. So we swam back out and swam with the dolphins getting as close as 50 feet...it was amazing. So I think I'll get back to that ocean and relax....we play a street dance tonight in St. Augustine and are really looking forward to it. I'm excited to see who will show up tonight.
