5 Days Of Craziness
WOW.
What a busy busy week. On Monday we pulled into Minot, ND in the middle of the night and slept in the RV outside of the The Landing (our venue for the next 3 nights). There was a little bit of nervous energy in the air since this was going to be a first for us: not only was this the first time we have set up camp and played the same venue multiple nights in a row, but this was the first time we have done five nights in a row of 2+ hour sets! Needless to say, I was trying keep quiet as much as possible (something that I am NOT very good at doing).
We checked into the hotel ("The Vegas"... how rad is that?) and we proceeded to take full advantage of the pool, hot tub and sauna. Yes, yes... the tortured life of a touring musician! Actually, it was lucky for us that we had access to those things since it was F'N COLD outside. I mean, seriously people... it's MAY!
The shows were fun and we met some cool people (as evident by the incriminating pictures posted in the comments section of our myspace page). All in all, quite the good time! Thanks to all of you in Minot who came out to say hello.
Friday morning finally came and with it came the drive about 100 miles south to Bismark for our Friday and Sat night shows. The weather was AWESOME there - much more in line with what May should be: 75 degrees and sunny. Joker's Bar provided us with a killer stage and great sound. Dave and Dusty's diligent promotion provided us with a fun crowd for night one and some VERY cool holdovers for night two. By the end of our final set on Sat night, we were pretty fried. But it was an incredible experience and we had a blast!
Thank you to all the "NoDaks" and all the hospitality that you showed us! We'll see ya in the fall.
