Positivity.
Everything about this tour so far has been drenched in positivity. We are just gearing up to make the drive to Amarillo to meet back up with the Heyday for the last official show of the tour. I know I made a pact to keep video blogs coming, and I have been keeping up with footage. I just haven’t had a solid couple of hours to sort through it all. Today is our only off day, so rest assured I’m gonna dig in and get some stuff out there by tomorrow. A quick recap of the last few days…
Arlington is a pretty amazing town. We showed up at a nice little cafe called Java Jo’z. The staff there is terribly kind, and it turns out the room is a blast to sing in. This was one of the few shows this tour we played all acoustically, and it wound up being one of the most fun. This part of Arlington didn’t have all that much going on in the way of foot traffic, so the show wasn’t all that busy. The Heyday played, then we played, and we bid each other adieu for a few and they made their way to Austin to enjoy a few days on 6th St. We decided to stay at the venue to see if we could maybe get a couple of the late night karaoke-ers to buy some stuff while they were there. What followed can only be described in video (of which there is plenty). Stay tuned on that one.
Afterwards, we crashed in a hotel by the airport and prepared for what would be a long next day. We woke up the next day at 7am. I went down to get some free breakfast before we departed for Six Flags Over Texas. We arrived at around 9am and got to drive the truck through an empty park. It kind of felt like we were in a zombie movie. In short, we had a blast playing 3 half hour sets on a sweet outdoor stage, met a ton of new friends, and got a bit of sun on what amounted to be a picture-perfect spring day. We were given free ride passes by the management but were too tired from being out in the sun all day, so we just opted for food and drinks at a couple of local establishments. We then split up and I wound up singing a few tunes at a local open mic before we called it a night.
Life is good.
