Saturday I got to play with my buddies in Rodeo Ruby Love from Indiana at Mojo Books and Music in Tampa along with Friends of Giants and the Grecian Urns. I was stoked to see the Rodeo dudes after almost a year since I saw them last in Indiana on my tour. They played mostly new songs and I enjoyed them thoroughly. They recently came out with a new full length called "This Is Why We Don't Have Nice Things" which is jammin' as haiiil. Seriously, listen to it and tell me you don't get at least one or two of the songs stuck in your head.
We stayed at Kurt's nice uncle's house and had our fill of pizza, Jerry Maguire, and hot tub. The next day, after hotdogs and veggie burgers, we drove to Sarasota to play a show at the Box Social with In Retrospect and John Daniel Was Here. Rodeo was received very well by my friends and other audience members. That night we drove back to my house and went to bed. We had to try and get some sleep for what we had planned the next day...
DISNEY!!! FOR FREE!!! Needless to say, it was a blast! Alex took plenty of pictures. After that we came home exhausted to my friend and roomate Cindy's spaghetti with meat balls. They were delicious as always!
The next day was a day off for the band, and so we order some gigantic pizzas from Lazy Moon and watched Wristcutters. After that some of us took advantage of $2 Tuesdays at our locoal bowling alley and knocked pins down with balls.
The next day (Wednesday) was Cindy's birthday! We all went out to eat and Cindy got some neato presents. After that we drove to the Cameo Theatre for our show with Rudy from The Knots. The people there were really nice. Actually most people at all the shows were super nice. Yay for nice people! We got back home and Cindy decided to make us pork chops, mac and cheese, and salad. We were all stoked for Dinner 2! Later that night I said my goodbyes to all the dudes because they had a show in Jax the next day. I left them a note confessing my romantic love for each one of them.
It's been an awesome week so far. Now I just have to get everything ready for the tour next week. I'm as nervous as I am excited!
And did I tell you? I won't have the full length done until probably Fall, so I will be selling EPs with 5 of my newest songs along with my old Enduring World EP and Land/Sea split. I'll put some new songs up on my Myspace and Bandcamp soon!
I know very few people will read this but thank you for reading! More updates soon!
