Chocolate Cake Solo at Cal U

You know what's fun? Playing shows.

You know what's not as fun? Realizing that the drive we have in the morning is 6 hours... not ONE hour like we all thought. That has drastically changed the day tomorrow. We knew we had two shows - we just thought the first one was around the corner. Thank goodness we figured it out tonight though, right!??! How awful would that have been? Ewww. I'm gonna sop thinking about that now.

We played at California University in California, PA. Yes. California, Pennsylvania. Isn't that awesome? The campus is BEAUTIFUL. Lots of new buildings and renovations happening there. The Facilities are gorgeous, including the auditorium we got to play in. And the STUDENTS WERE AMAZING. I barely touched a thing that went in. They helped us load all of our gear and suitcases, they had ridiculously yummy catering set up for us, and they were all just GOOD PEOPLE. Not to mention they had not one, but TWO of the most scrumptious chocolate cakes ever.

Mark DeRose played tonight, too. Mark is one of my favorite people - just all around great person and extremely talented guy. That chocolate cake was so good that his guitar player brought a piece on stage and was feeding it to Mark throughout the show. He even a "chocolate cake solo". He put his guitar down and danced around the stage with his chocolate cake. That is what I will call "The Best Solo Ever".

...And my pics aren't uploading, and sorry but that whole "I've gotta get up in less than 3 hours" thing means I can't wait on them. Cute pics (and videos already!) from the show have been uploaded to facebook, though! For anyone that wants a peek!

Peace. Love. Fiddle.
