best night ever

so, some wonderful thoughts, but apologies first.

sorry about all of the confusion with the show in florida and not showing up for the show in georgia. plans got a bit messed up and we had to cancel the georgia show. sorry ladies and gents.

on a lighter note, the show at the kids was incredible, and hanging out with greg for two nights was a lot of fun. thanks dude, you're a great guy. papa johns pizza is too expensive, and if it weren't for the garlic sauce, i don't know if i'd buy it.

on with tonight.

we played in mt. pleasant, sc tonight, and it was the most amazing time. the first time we played in the area was at all books with alli with an i and guff. brad set up the show, and some dudes in a band called aslan play. we played down here twice more, both times with aslan, and each time it seemed to get a bit bigger and better. those kids would come up and sing along, and it always made our hearts sing. then tonight happened. we played in this really laid back church with aslan and some other cool bands, to about 200 people, not including the incredibly nice parents/church leaders that were nicer to us than anyone else we've ever met. so anyway, so many kids sang along, screamed their hearts out, jumped up on the mic, and made us play one of the longest sets we've ever played. afterwards we spent a long time just talking to kids and smiling and hugging and eating pizza. best night ever. so, not only was this amazing, but it was incredible response to the last few days of canceled shows and long drives. we were a little down, and this brought everything back up was above and beyond. though, i did get to play 5 hours of spider solitaire last night while hanging out with my best friends and listening to great records. can't complain too much about that. then we spent the night in the van in what was the coldest night we ever completed. greg could see his breath. woke up, brushed our teeth in walmart, and then treated ourselves to a waffle house breakfast. enjoy. a short drive, some christmas shopping, and a few impulse cd purchases later, we were enjoying the above wonder. thanks to brad for bringing us down here in the first place, and to all of the aslan guys for making south carolina what it is to us. and thanks to jt and family for the place to crash. best night ever.
