The day of the Athens, Ohio show was something else. We stopped by this roadhouse in Indiana on the way and got huge breakfasts and an 8 piece fried chicken bucket for the table. Will had apple butter for the first time and I don't think he will ever be the same. When we got to Athens we were met by great people and some great grilled food. We all hung out for the night before heading into town to grab a hot nut (quite possibly the best coffee based alcoholic drink) and play the show. We were the only band on the bill and knew almost everyone in the crowd. It was wild. So much energy and such a rowdy time. After the show we headed to the best bar in America, Jackie O's. They brew their own beer there and it is all delicious. There was a band playing some of the most spot on covers. After a late night we woke up at 5:45 and began a 9 hour drive with a one hour fall back to Rock Island, Illinois for a daytrotter session. The session ran for a few hours and went amazingly well. After the session we hopped right back in the car and drove to Columbus Ohio. We ended up arriving at 4am. Today we play at the rumba cafe in Columbus and it's going to rule.
