South Mississippi Fair: Fair Food Heaven

We're back in Laurel, Mississippi, folks. And THIS year it feels like Southern Mississippi, for sure!!! Last year we were caught off guard by the cold "see your breath on stage" temperatures that we encountered. But this year - all is back to normal with hot humid, and muggy :) Just how it should be in Southern Mississippi, right?!?!

Dormer was NOT prepared... he's still a Northern California boy gettin used to the South :) Actually - none of my guys are very used to the South and our humidity. They all comment on it way more than I notice it. But for the first time ever, Dormer was actually mistaken as a Southerner!!! WOO HOO!!! We're bringing him over to our side, y'all! :) (I don't know what that means... he can be whatever he wants to be. It's just funny because no one has ever thought he had a Southern Accent)

One thing's for sure... we were back in Fair Food Heaven! I got a Cheesesteak from these lovely ladies (It was the best cheesesteak I've had in a LONG time.... dare I say aloud that is was better than the one that I had IN PHILLY??) But Then. Oh THEN. They told me they had fried cookie dough. FRIED COOKIE DOUGH!?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! Yeah. I was ALL over that. And so was Dormer. The guys were uncomfortable being in the room with me when I was eating it... But I couldn't contain the deliciousness... I can't be silent while eating something that unbelievable.


These two drove quite a ways to come to the show tonight!!! Jonathan and Sgt. James were at our show at Fort Gordon in 2009. And Jonathan still has his wallet I signed back then!!! Thank you guys for coming to the show :)


Free Funnel Cake with Strawberry topping!!!! SOOOOOOOO sweet! And VERY much enjoyed by the WHOLE band - it barely made it all the way to the hotel....


PAM!!!


Yeah. We had a blast. And we were SO happy the weather held out. There were multiple lightening strikes right as we were supposed to get started. But it passed quickly, and we were able to play the whole show with no interruptions! Well... except for Fred... the GIANT flying moth that joined us onstage and wouldn't leave... and then got caught in a fatal crossfire with Panther's foot :( Next time... I'm NOT naming the moth. That made it way worse...

Peace. Love. Fiddle.
