We Just drove through a town called Chunky, Mississippi… We’re currently listening to the Two Empty Chairs album. We dig it, for sure. It’s got that Sister Hazel type vibe to it. Highly recommended.

Yesterday’s experience in Monroe, LA was surreal. The people there were so kind to us and treated us like they had know us their whole lives. We’re so grateful to Tim and Zack and Billy and Jake and everyone else over at Ridge Avenue that made this event such a success for us. We were really blessed. And the guys from 2EC were great, too! They were fun and dumb, just like us, which made for a really great show I thought. You can expect to see us all on the road together again really soon.

Right now we’re heading down the interstate on the way to Nacogdoches, TX to hook up with Scotty and Tammy Spake. Scotty’s the college minister over here, and they are genuinely the coolest people you’ll ever meet. They love Jesus and you can see it in everything that they do. Tammy’s family is from my hometown, and I go to church with her brother. I’ve been going to summer camp with Scotty and Tammy as long as I can remember. We’re staying at their house tonight and I’m stoked!

Tomorrow we head for Dallas. We have a radio interview there with Matt Mungle from Spin 180. Jeff and I met him several years back at an event in Nashville and we made a good relationship with him then. He hosts a hip little show and it’s available for podcasting. You should check it out over at Spin180.net.

We’re stopping now for some sugar cookies from Subway, so I gotta go…

Last night’s show at Maywood was awesome. The kids there at the camp were great. They were going crazy and that helped us to have a really energetic performance. Jeff, as usual, was out of control… and that’s the way we like it. The more Jeff goes nuts, the better I play, and the more the crowd digs it.

We were attacked by horseflies. Before the show, one swooped in and struck Hood right in the arm. I smote him to the ground with my ball hat, but just as we thought the threat had been averted, his hostile, horsefly brother flew in right behind him for a sneak attack. I dropped him, too. But then one came up and bit me on the shoulder right in the middle of Perfect Little World. Jeff documented all this via photograph.

As I write this, we are packed into a cargo van. Me, Denton, and Jeff are sitting on a sleeping bag with speakers stuck into our backs; Jennifer and Hood are riding up front like royalty. I think we’ll mount an attack and overthrow them…

We’re on the way to Monroe, LA right now. We play with a band called Two Empty Chairs tonight. They’re cool. You should check them out. Their lead singer is a funny dude.

We just had to pull off on the side of the road to do a call-in radio interview with Rick Godley over at KHLL in Monroe. He’s definitely the funniest DJ I’ve gotten to talk to so far.

Ok, I gotta go, because we’re all comparing to see who has the most foot hair. It’s a long trip…
