The big 30

What a great weekend! We started off Friday night playing at Filthy McNasty's in Ft Worth. It is always nice to have a bar owner who gets what we go through and what we provide to his bar. He always takes care of us and for that, we say Thank You Don!When we hit the stage we had a great crowd, which always makes for a great show. Had a lot of good friends show up for day one of Birthday bash weekend and the shots were flowing. We also got ICED on stage by our friend (or should I say EX friend) Justin. Hard as shit to chug ice cold Smirnoff Ice. Ended the night with a little trip to Waffle House and a few laughs.

Day 2 we headed to Tayt's Dads house for his birthday party aka: Possum Holler Bash! We have been playing this party now for 6 or 7 years and always have a blast! We had a bit of trouble trying to figure out what the weather was going to do and after moving our equipment for the 3rd time we started jamming. Once again the shots were flowing.... I never remember to many details of Possum Holler parties. After we got done playing our good friend and musical hero of mine, Bret Graham hit the stage. He was entertaining as always! The band had a front row spot in the pool and we stayed there all night! Already excited about next year!

Woke up this morning...well...EXTREMELY Hungover! As the the guys slept in the van on the way home, I got to thinking about the Last 10 years of this band. I have had the best time traveling Texas and playing new places. I have seen so many cool things in my travels that most people never get to see. Most importantly, I get to do it with 4 of my best friends. We have our issues every once in awhile like everyone else, but at the end of the day we are still brothers. The band is doing better than ever these days, and we are getting super excited to put ourselves out there in Texas scene even more! Its time for our day in the sun and we have worked long and hard for the chance. With all the support we have had from friends, family, management, and most importantly FANS, we hope to take over this scene!

Thanks to everybody who gives a damn about us and always keeping up with what we are doing! Keep spreading the word, because we couldn't do it with out ya!
 
see ya down the road

P.S. I turn 30 tomorrow and will be having drinks at Weirdo's in North Austin around 8pm! Everybody is welcome to join me!
