60. 60. Sixty!! H.O.B. New Orleans, LA. 5.21.05

Would somebody give us a round of applause for completing the course?

I don't know what grade we get, but we went to class everyday and gave it all we had. It feels like graduation day. In a few hours, we'll point the van and beat up trailer full of 12 people due West and drive for 3 hours before heading North West toward East Texas. The way I have it figured, we'll pull up into the Vineyard parking lot at 7:30am right before Kim does - to return to our normal life - helping her with the music at our very rocking church with great coffee, great couches and great people. We'll look like crap, but we're totally up for it.

HOB Show in New Orleans
Woah. What a crazy crowd. Crazy. They were yelling and chanting things before the show ever started... I couldn't figure out what. But there HAD to be Eisley fans here. I was so shocked at the response. Honest... you ready for this? I think this crowd rivaled the best of only a handful of shows that qualify as SUPER-DOOPER Eisley Response Shows. I'd say just under Dallas. Does anyone have a clue why? Maybe they were just hyped to be at a show. It was freakish; fans were raising the rock sign and screaming.... loud. Thank You New Orleans. You made Eisley feel so welcome and loved. We were here for the Voo-Doo Fest with Snow Patrol, but beyond that, Eisely has never darkened the city doors, though I am a native. Yes, born here. Raised in Lafayette till 15. We're totally cajuns... come on sha' - Du Pree? what choo tinkin?

Ok. Gotta settle, take care of business; nfg is almost finished. I appreciate you guys SO much. I can't express HOW much. I have to say, in the spirit of "the last day of high school", I love you all... stay the same forever. Never change.

oh, and, remember me.

and... miss me.

The End.

I think besides the great music, the NFG guys coming out and having fun with the band is what made for such great crowd interaction. Oh yea, and New Orleans is just a great place to play concerts in.. but maybe I'm a little biased. Cant wait to see yall again on the 4th of July!
Congrats.

Since "E" is kinda a sign for Eisley, that would be your grade. Which by far should surpass anything close to an A.

That's so cool about the response Eisley got. And congrats on your tour. You guys should be proud.

When you guys come back to SF CA, (wish it was Sac Sad ) You WILL hear me. GUARANTEE. I'm going to embarrass everyone just by how loud i'm going to be.

I'll be the guy yelling to play a song RIGHT AFTER it was JUST played lol.

Again, congrats, and God Bless.

The show was so great. I was really impressed at how well Eisley kept playing even though they had things slingshotted (is that a word?) and dumped on them and had every member of the B2B tour up on stage taking pictures. What a great end to a great tour. Definately worth my 11 hour drive from Kentucky.

Thank you to Boyd and all of Eisley for taking pictures with me and talking to me. You all are so nice and deserve every good thing that happens to you.

Much love and respect.
Jenny
