Happy Birthday Weston.
Poor Weston - birthday on the road. He didn't get much or feel much... but he's pumped over the new kit he's getting. That's enough to keep him stoked for now. We hugged him and gave him preferential treatment all day. It was an ok day. Driving after the show was hard. But not for sleepers. Anyway. Happy Birthday... now belated, to Weston. 19 years old.
I'm stumbling over my numbers
What happened? I know it looks like I just jumped ahead, but... if my math is correct, there are only 2 shows left after this, so we have to be at 58 in Corpus, right? Sorry. I was never good at math. I'm a a mutematician. A goobermatician. So.... whatever. Please, someone with the time, fix my math.
Eisley Rocked it in Corpus Christi
Hard to say that, especially in a market that embraces Ted Nugent, Creed, Nickelback and Slip knot (sp?). All I know is that there were hords of persons that followed Eisley as they emerged from back stage across the open venue to the merch area. The got stopped so many times and drug glunks of kids along with them toward the boof. I get on to them for stopping and signing before they get to the area where the bulk of kids are waiting patiently. If the stay there, they'll get small mobs of endoplasmic riticulums around them and never make it to the swag zone.
Anyway, the show was good. solid. outdoor. nice temperature. sunny, a sea breeze... good times.
We headed out after settling merch, got gas and magged Richmond, TX. 3.5 Hours later, around 3:30am, we arrived at my brothers house and were welcomed by their entire family - 7. boyfriends and girlfriends and friends and more siblings showed only moments before we arrived.
What else can I say about Corpus Christi? Bret and Hillary, who conducted an interview, hooked us up at a local coffee shop.... half price. Sweet. We just unhooked the van and cruised over. Mine was too sweet, but that's ok. honey is very sweet.
OH, OH... and Weston got a cake shoved into his face by Chad at the show. And James was nice and came to help him clean it off. I have some of it on video. I should stop what I'm doing now and go grab that tune and put it up. I will. boyd out.
I warn you... it's a crappy performance. But, hey, it's Weston's birthday... I gotta put it up anyway. This all happened while they were trying to perform Vintage People. Make sure you post the disclaimer if you show it to someone:
