On the Road Again

Hey guys, Jake here. This is my first post, technically since the one I did with Vijay didn't count.

So we had a few wonderful days of rest at the Brooks' house(Mike's parents), where we ate like kings and were able to sleep in until our hearts' desire. And on Wednesday we drove down to West Virginia to stay at their summer home, which was a gorgeous cabin near a lake and an all around peaceful place to be.

Oh, I forgot to mention that we've been stopped by police several times in this trip, a couple times were mainly because both Morgan and Vijay's cars were missing a headlight. So while we were in Pittsburgh Morgan took his car in for an oil change and routine maintenence and to get his headlight changed. While for Vijay's car we decided to buy a headlight and do it ourselves, which begged the question: "How many musicians does it take to change a headlight?" So after reading the instructions multiple times, and struggling for what must've been at least a half-hour, we succeeded and were on our way.

Thursday came and we were excited to play our first college show down at Elon University. We have a friend (Carolyn) who goes to school there and we must thank her so much for basically setting this show up and inviting so many people out to it that we felt like actual rock stars. Also my parents drove 5hrs. to see us play for the first time(they live in NC also) and I think my mom is just glad I'm not in some crazy metal band.

Well, that's everything for now. We'll be off to play the Hard Rock Cafe in Pittsburgh in a few hours and we can't wait.

Tour Tally:
Run-ins with the law: 3
Items lost: 2 (Jake's hoodie, Morgan's powerstrip)
Lost and thinking we'd never find a way out: 2
Wrong turns: 10
