taylor hanson is my hero

So, we are on day 2 of our 3 days (in a row) off and things are going well. The show with Black Cross was an awesome time, and things went as well as they could have. Greg's amp wasn't working, but now, after a trip to home depot, some solder and a new switch, it should be back in action. I purchased a Black Cross skate deck for $15 which was a killer deal.

On that note, PJ, Jeff, and I hit up the Louisville Extreme Park last night and it was indeed gnarly. They had a full pipe, vert ramp and insane bowl and street course. I was busting out my standard frontside 50-50 and backside boardside and trying to hold things down the best I could. There were little kids tearing it up though. Also, my current deck is now on its way out, so it's a good thing I picked up the new deck the other day.

Louisville is really a pretty cool city, and we've had some fun walking about the downtown and just checking things out. They are big on horse statues which I assume is related to the whole KY derby thing. We also passed the Louisville Slugger Museum. Oh, and we also met the bass player from VAST yesterday. I'm betting one of the other dudes related the story in full, so I won't go into detail here. Nonetheless, the whole experience was quite ridiculous. To his credit, the dude was super nice and seemed to just enjoy talking to us. But, it's always bizarre talking to one of the big time guys. Point and case: they are on Carson Daly's label and the dude asked us if we had a tour bus. Ha. He also went on to explain how Hanson (yes, the mmmbop kids) had it rough and "took it in the ass" to get out of there major label deal. I never knew Hanson had so much cred.

Well, we are off to Ohio, I think. We need to clean ourselves, our clothes, and the van, so if all goes well, that will happen soon.
