Running Down A Dream: Coastal Carolina Awesomeness

Wow. That was an awesome show we just had! We played at Coastal Carolina University. They have a beautiful auditorium, GREAT program and wonderful people to work with. From top to bottom, everything was run so well and MAN!!! I wish we could have those lights at every show. We were in a huge auditorium and the lights and sound were phenomenal.

We are in this place where I am having a hard time deciding on the set list. We have way more songs to play (that I am feeling great about) than we have time in the show. That's truly a first. It's a tricky thing to play for audiences all the time that have never heard you before. It's a completely different art than playing for people that already know and love your music. So yeah... it's a GREAT feeling to have MORE songs than we can play in a normal set that I feel so good about. :) Things are lookin up for ole Liz Lemon. ;) *30 Rock reference there...

The one disappointing thing that happened: this guy comes running in after the show - we were signing autographs and selling cds and taking pics - and he says, "Have you started yet?" I said, "Well, we're already through!" He, his wife, and another couple they brought, drove 3 hours to see the show, but didn't know what time it started and missed the whole thing :( I gave them the new cd - I figured it's not quite like seeing the live show, but at least they'll have new music to listen to on the way home.
They saw us a couple of years ago in Cape Carteret, NC at the only bar that we have played in all these years that had to skip out on a check. They went bankrupt about 2 days after we played there :( I still have the check that I can't cash in my wallet. It's a nice reminder of humility.

Peace. Love. Yearbook. :)

Porter!!!

These girls came up to me and said, "You write with Ruth Collins, right?" They interned in Nashville at Ruth's management company this past year :) So awesome!
