Four Months in Three Weeks (A Tour Diary) – Virginia Beach, VA – June 19, 2009

 

 

Hi and welcome to the blog.  We’ve returned safely from our 21-day tour of the east coast.  It was quite an amazing time and best summed up by Chase (our road manager and friend since childhood) as “Four months worth of life in three weeks.”  So , I’m going to be recounting our  happenings with pictures and videos. I hope you enjoy them.  Feel free to leave comments. Especially if they come at Dan’s expense.  :D

  

  

 

 

 

 

June 19, 2009:  On a high, we drove up to Virginia Beach, though it was one of the toughest drives for Chase.  A couple of hour long traffic jams made the time crawl.  With Ale in tow, we talked about how Leonardo Da Vinci and Ben Franklin were probably the epitome of man’s vast potential and everyone shat all over my plan to save the world (making American citizens apply for parenthood – trust me, I know it’s a big idea that’s very unrealistic not to mention completely communistic but I’m encouraged…)

 

Much like Tampa, we learned that our gig that night was cancelled.  That is the shit that you have to put up with as a unestablished touring band.  Undeterred, we set out to see the town.  We were booked in the downtown area but heard that the place to be was the boardwalk twenty minutes down the road.  We almost brought our acoustic instruments but then realized we didn’t really have any.

 So we walked around a little.  It was a Friday night and there were quite a bit of people out.  The place can basically be summed up as a northern Myrtle Beach.  We did find some interesting things.  Ate at an interesting restaurant, where we were served by “Bridgette,” (see pic.)  Went to the beach for a second.  Ate ice cream. And after we discovered that the mini-golf place had closed, we rode back with a drunk cab driver.  Not much else happened other than that.  Sucks not playing.

 

I think these are pretty funny pictures.  The video is only kind of funny though. I hope you enjoy.  We’re onto Washington, DC next (where we do plan on playing.)
