So we just got back from doing a quick one day trip up to Muskegon, Michigan for Moosefest, which is a great big outdoor festival put on by WMUS. The trip started off on a rough note. Now we are pretty used to flying to shows and we have come to learn which Airlines we have issues with and which we don’t, this trip we had issues. I won’t name the airline. Our flight out of Nashville ended up having to take on more fuel than expected due to some storms and so they were forced to kick 8 people off the flight, since we were already late enough that we would miss our connection we got off and attempted to figure out a way to get to Muskegon. We ended up getting a flight into Chicago and driving which worked out.
We stayed the night before the show in Michigan City at a Clarion, or something like that. In the morning we decided to hit the lovely morning buffet which basically was toast and hard boiled eggs. So Mike decided he was going to microwave his hard boiled eggs, the lady working there told him to be careful because they might explode. Mike didn’t listen. He put them in there and 30 seconds later, POP.. they exploded. So he got them out, cleaned up the microwave, and put his eggs on the table. Then POP… they exploded again all over the dining room. Mike apologized to the lady next to us, she didn’t mind, but she also didn’t realize she had a whole bunch of egg in her hair.
So then, off to the show. We played for 45 mins or so and the crowd was awesome. We decided during the show to try out a brand new song we had written the day before. It’s called “When I get low” and it went over pretty good, actually had people singing along by the end which is a good sign. After, we signed autographs for a while. Now most people had shirts from the show they wanted us to sign, so we wanted to sign next to where it said our name on the back, which happened to be at the very bottom, so if we accidentally touched anyone’s butts we apologize. Then Leslie signed a couple guys chests, they didn’t want Mike and I to sign. That’s ok by me. Then it was off to the airport and home. Good Show… Good Trip.
