The Ballad of Stayed and Gone 12

We played a show last night. The first of a handful of shows we'll be playing to warm up for the release of the record. We played at the Reservoir for an excellent local crowd. The Alcazar Hotel opened up and they played some great cheaptrick spiced rock, very good tunes.

Diane and I played with Stu Cole on bass, Nathan Golub on pedal steel and Nathan Logan on drums. Jarrod from Damnit Online was there and he took some cool pictures (like the one above). It was one of the most enjoyable shows we've played. When even the mistakes turn out right, you know it's a good night. Great audience, great bar, great band, and Diane stole the show like only she knows how to do. I love you, love of my life.

What else could we ask for? Oh, it was a free show like all these pre-record release shows will be.

So today, I am recovering from the night's madness and my brain is too fried to write about anything else, and I'm not going to ruin last night's experience by trying to describe it in words, anymore than what I've already said.

Stay tuned for the next pre-record release show.
