we decided to get a cheap hotel again with wireless internet but no problems this time. it was a nice sleep but we had to leave by 11 which wasn't cool.
we listened to saddle creek bands the whole way -good life, cursive, bright eyes and we eventually came to saddle creek road and found oleavers pub.
we met danny the bartender and he said we would get free pbr and some shots all night. so it was about 3 at that point and he started pouring pitcher after pitcher and would get made if we didn't finish them in a short enough amount of time.
after a few hours i was pretty good and i got to talk to a few guys from local bands and met this guy that was grandaddy's tour manager for a littlewhile and also had toured with the good life so those stories were interesting. then danny got me and binns some shots of jameson and they went down like gatorade
i walked down to the post office a few blocks away to try to mail a letter but they had been closed for a long time. so i walked back and we got everything set up for the show.
we hung out a bit more and took some more shots courtesy of danny then hit the stage and played some music for a decent sized crowd. we loaded out and i felt terrible and homesick so i fell asleep on this small patch of sidewalk behind the pub for a few minutes. we had finally gotten a hold of the little brazil guys and headed over to their place after the show finished up.
they had a little party going on and i had some drinks and met some more people and at one point this group of guys came up to the porch and one of them wasn't wearing any pants and had claimed that we had his pants which we obviously didn't because if we did we would have given them back immediately but that was funny.
i crashed on the living room floor and woke up and had a great telephone call and then was told that breakfast was being prepared. i walked back inside and danny was cooking bacon and eggs and coffee was brewing it was a very awesome morning.
to cedar falls...
