01-11-08: Common Ground's - Lebanon, OH

I have to make this short and sweet, simply due to time constraints. Duty calls, and that duty happens to be Skyline Chili. We're on our way to get a quick lunch and then head into Indy for our final show on this wonderful winter tour at Ben & Ari's.

Common Grounds was a great place to play, and a great place for lots of high school kids to go to to listen to local live music. There's really not a whole lot going on in Lebanon, considering it was a Friday night and this place was packed. Apparently the cops came three times, so they must not have anything better to do either. In fact, I figured maybe there was some kind of drug bust or underage drinking, but the only incident that arost was some kids under 18 smoking cigarettes. If that's the worst of the town's problems, well, that's not a bad town to live in.

My friend Jessica took a lot of really good pictures, so I'm going to hold off on posting anything from the show until I get a few from her. It was the first set we had without Dave, and it went incredibly well. I hadn't played drums with a band for a while, but everything went very smoothly. We split the set up with two acoustic songs in between four electric. It's something we've never tried before, and it seemed to go over very well.

Anyway, only one more show to go, and when I get some downtime I will definitely upload some photos from Common Grounds. Maybe I'll find some time to sleep, too.

Hey Nick - we had a fun time at the show Friday - wish we could have hung out with you afterwards with Zach & Alex - hope you guys will play Cleveland in August so we can see you again! I know Tommy is sorry he couldn't make it. I told Zach & Alex I would send photos of the show, so you'll get them soon. Anyway, I'm going to add you to my own blog - check it out (I have the same template as you right now - that's funny): www.ria6677.blogspot.com

Hope you have a safe journey back!
