Plymouth, MI

So much to write about, so many thoughts coming out at once. I'll try to start from the beginning. We arrived in Nashville last sunday, checked in to our fancy looking hotel only to find that the internet advertised cost $10 a day to use, so we were internetless for the week. I'll get to the good stuff. Monday was the day of the Country Music Awards, and I was excited for some reason. I've been caught watching CMT on more than one occasion, but I didn't think I would be excited when I spotted Montgomery Gentry or someone of the same stature, but I was star-struck the entire day. I got to see Big and Rich soundcheck, but missed their set, I saw the Low Cash- Cowboys try to hype up the crowd, they were jackasses, but it was still neat to see them. The most exciting star spotting was that of Lynryd Skynyrd walking through our hotel doors as I was walking in, I was speechless. I can't remeber much else off the top of my head, except Chris and I got free tattoos from a place in Nashville, our booking agent told us all bands booked by him get free tattoos at this place anytime we come through town, so I'm going to take big advantage of that deal. We drove 11 hours today to get to Michigan to play a show that we were told was going to suck really bad. So we go into the show knowing it's going to be awkward, it was for some youth rally at a church. The show was a little odd, but it was the most fun we've all had in a while, there six hundred or so kids, and you could make them go crazy. We were throwing shirts and cds out to them, and they were insane, we also made a good little bit of money and they put us up in the Hiltin Garden Inn, not too bad for a few hours' work. We're playing the University of Wisconson tomorrow, easy drive, time for a shower.
