Athens in your face
See Video Clip of Memories and Much, Much More!

You guys both know (both of you) that I've posted a zillion live accounts of this song. I'm not claiming that this one is any better. In fact, it might be roughter. But I don't really care. New fans might not dig back far enough to access these anchient, entombed artifactual melodies.

This is just something to frustrate us. Pieces of songs... but my point was to show you Eisley's grand introduction. I just think it's stupid funny. "Where's Weston?" As per my journal, the more boggles the band made - the more the crowd responded. I don't get it... but you Georgian's were rad.



More images and plenty of popcorn:

The Road Seems Very Hard
But that might be the voice of a weary madman. Do tell.

We're now somewhere in Alabama after driving 150 miles tonight. Yes!! Night pirates of the road ways. We rolled in - literally - to some Sleep Inn. I have no clue what town. It's 5:00am to us but we cruised back into Central about an hr back so it's only 4:00am here. We're shot... we've been doing this every night and driving all day. Tomorrow we have 750 miles left if we want to reach Houston by 2-3am. See what you're missing by not being in a rock band? But i feel more sorry for Stacy and Sherri - who are about beat to smithereens from sitting in that back bench - where every bump sends you into the ceiling. No... man; seriously, it's luxurious. And everyone is rich from their $20 bucks a day per deim. Loaded with money, sleep and bs.

Athens Show!
Anyway. The night in Athens was fun. The band got off to a wobbly start when Weston walked off stage (after getting line check on drums) - looking for his bandmates; At the same time, his bandmates came on stage from stage left. Sherri had to yell... "where's our drummer" or something, followed by "WESTON!!"... as if she were calling upstairs when he's in his bedroom. It was funny and served as an ice-breaker which set up a bit of levity throughout the set... especially when Weston boggled the Telescope Eyes fill (something I've never heard him do). Sherri laughed again. The band boon doggled so many things last night... but even they didn't seem to be effected by it. Can anyone explain to me - why the crowd cheered louder and showed more love - the more Eisley goofed up here and there? It was actually insane.

Anyway, thank you Atlanta/Athens crowd for being very awesome. I'll try to post a movie or something from tonight's show. It was funny. And I have coffee pics and such nonsense to produce and post. Thanks. I'm shot. Completely shot. I'm not kidding. But I'm not complaining. i'm NOT!!!! shut up. boo. sit down. g'nite. g'morning. i'm now under the covers. go away... we leave at the high crack of noon. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Thanks for coming to Athens!
Thanks for giving such an amazing show last nite in Athens! My sister and I bought tickets forever in advance to see y'all (not Switchfoot, although they were still a lesser degree of cool), and your show was awesome! Loved hearing all our favorites as well as the stellar new Many Funerals. Please come back and visit us again soon! Very Happy

Man now I wish I had went to the Athen's show it seems like it would have been a great show. But Im in Nashville TN and realized driving up and everything was a little too much money for a poor college kid. Crying or Very sad
