Ohio, then Back East

So, we're out here in Kent, Ohio and we'll be playing in Akron later today. Thanks to PJ's persistence, we found a place to stay and we are all well rested and clean. The weather has cooled off a bit, at least from the 90+ degrees it had been in FL, and we are all thankful for that.

We stayed with the Burton's aunt and uncle the other day, and got fed until we could eat no more. They were super nice, and took great care of us. Unfortunately, we all feel pretty terrible about what happened to Paulson. Then end result is they went home yesterday morning. They might be meeting back up with us later, but nothing is certain at this point. As much as we would all love to meet up with them later, it's more important that they take care of everything back home, and be there for each other. It's strange, because as much as we've been touring on our own before, it seems exceptionally odd now since Paulson had to leave under such terrible circumstance. In the meantime, I hope everything goes as well as it can for them, and we'll all try our hardest to keep things going for them the best we can. They will be missed.

On a lighter note, we all enjoyed a killer meal at the Olive Garden, thanks to Dan's 25% discount. We also watched a ridiculous Kung Fu movie at Ryan's last night. It was awesome.
