Drove home after an epic Kessler show, got to sleep at 4:30. Found out on this trip that Sherpa was overdue for an oil change and AC wasn’t cooling. No time to make an appointment, so I got up at 7 and spent the better part of the day as a mechanic. I’d never used those AC manifold guages before, so kinda cool to learn how to do that, and definitely a lot cooler now.

It wasn’t how I would have chosen to spend the day off in the middle of a lot of shows and driving, but it sure was a lot easier basking in the glow of these shows.

Every place we played was packed, but more than that, y’all brought so much energy! I’m amazed that material that came out 30 years ago can still move a crowd like that, and I got to hear so many stories about our music and how it’s connected to your lives! As always, a joy to play with Bobby Perkins Jan Flemming and Ed Jarusinsky. Had some great bands sharing stages: The Mighty Orq Brad Absher , and 𝚁𝚈𝙰𝙽 𝙼𝚌𝙶𝙰𝚁𝚅𝙴𝚈 . And all star merch help by Stephanie Gordon Bailey Kim, and Donna, and some of our fave venues The Heights Theater The Shrine and The Kessler Theater
The TXHH have a festival in Kentucky tomorrow, so I traded costumes and am back on I35, but in a different van.

I’ll be taking a redeye back Thursday morning to come do a couple of more shows to celebrate Modernday folklore 30 years!
