CHAPEL HILL - Fri.June.19

J-
Played outside tonight in the Carolina summer and felt it! It was sweltering!! Holy Humidity...but it was beautiful out there. As we set up, there were some lightning bugs flying around and we expected to be in for a treat as we played. But, no. They sort of went away as the night went on. I think it was the lights that scared them away.

The day itself set up pretty easy. Drove into Chapel Hill around 4pm, checked into the motel, grabbed a bite to eat, and off to Caffe Driade to set up and play. It all went rather quickly. Like other coffeehouse gigs this one also started off a bit slow, but the crowd filled in nicely towards the end of the night. Highlight of the show for us? My father (who drove up for the show) screaming obscenities into his cellphone in the middle of us doing Sweet Jane! I don't even know what he was cussing about, but damn if I didn't end up laughing about it. Later!

We played three short sets, making sure to rehydrate in between each. I really like Brooklyn Lager! We introduced a new song into the set titled Curtain Call, a nice little dittie about breaking it off. Ah, so sweet. It went over well and I think that it will be a great record when we record it late fall.

The night went on without a hitch and we we're eating a slice of pizza down the street shortly after that before returning to the hotel for cold, refreshing showers. Ice cold! Caffe Draide is a beautiful place nestled in the woods and with an amazing tree-lined back drop. Highly recomended for it's beauty and it's great beers.

Tomorrow off to Virginia. Long drive, so...good night. See you then.

Cheers
