THE AUSTIN SHOW
Wed Dec 31, 2003 1:45 am
Hey. It's 7:40 and we just got to our hotel in Dallas after the Austin show.
I'll post on the Austin show after we sleep.
About 20 minutes from Dallas, around 4:42am, a car swirved to miss
something in the road, over corrected and swirved into our us, hitting our
trailer...Daniel and Matt ran back 3/4's a mile to check on the other
vehicle which apparently spun several times and landed in the median...
and they fled the scene..We're all fine, we sat on the road for 2 hours
waiting for Dallas police to do a report. The trailer is a bit smashed
but...now I need to sleep. We're thankful we're ok. Traumatic but all good
bd out.
Woah, we're really thanking God that the car didn't clip us just a few feet
forward...the van could have spun out of control...seeing how we were
clipping along at 65. It's weird to be asleep and hear this loud crash and
you hold on as the vehicle shakes and you brace for the next thing...but
it never came. Awesome.
John and Cassie and Phillup were right in back of us...they swerved,
nearly getting involved also but saw the whole thing. Crazy. Matt and
Daniel ran back only to help, just in time to see the car, the damage and
watch them speed through the median to the feeder. Anyway....enuf on
this. It's just still fresh.
The AUSTIN SHOW. I think far better than the Houston show. Everyone's
shows went really well. That's a great little room. I think Daniel said there
were 320 or something packed in...(upstairs and down; the downstairs
only holds 150, so I don't know how they fit them in upstairs with all
those tables?).
Anyway, I think Eisley sounded great. The crowd was awesome. The
sound was way better than in Houston; no glitches or big problems. The
new song was even sweeter.
Thanks Houstonians and Dallas fans for driving so far to an Austin gig.
That's amazing. Can't wait for tonight.
Sorry for all the road rash detail. At least now we've slept for a few
hours. Hope it doesn't affect their performance tonight. (nahhh...) If any
Brand New fans are here tonight, Jesse's here with us; maybe you'll spy
a glimpse of the befriended rock star. He's hilarious. whatever. You're
here to see Eisley.
ok "ya'll". (we're in Texas, ok?) Pictures later. I even have scenes from
last night's trauma recorded on film. I'm glad there's no blood... 
Stacy was playing her guitar and they were singing a Sparkle Horse song
while we were board and we kept cracking jokes and being mad at the
cops who we imagined were eating donuts somewhere.
I heard rumor that tonight's show might sell out. I dunno if it's true. Get
there early in line...although you don't have to worry about missing
Eisley's set since they're last. bye!
