University of Texas Pan American had posters ALL OVER campus when we got there today.

The University Programming Board was on TOP of their game - they were there to help us load in and get everything to stage, the green room was packed with drinks and snacks, and they REALLY knew how to put on a great event. They had kids there and excited, the announcer was great, and everyone was so accommodating.

LOOK at this giant poster:


UPB and every one that helped out put on this event!


Signing myself...


It was another great show tonight. And it's amazing what a difference it makes for us to have a great student group helping out. The man who was in charge of planning the entire event, Jesus, had his appendix out this morning!!! So I need to send out a big ole GET WELL to Jesus! I was told that he was texting from 6am this morning reminding people of everything that needed to be done from his hospital bed :) Amazing.

Another great show down. Texas has been good to us.

The boys are rehearsing David's music right now acoustically in the hotel room. :) It's awesome.

Peace. Love. Fiddle.

Bates College

We played at Bates College tonight in Lewiston, Maine!

Ummm... the snow here is RIDICULOUS. I saw a car that was almost completely buried. It is piled up taller than me on every street. I just can't imagine living like this! I mean, I LOVE LOVE LOVE snow. But, that isn't really fair. I have never had to shovel a sidewalk. So I have a very pure picture of snow... For me - a flake of snow meant NO SCHOOL!!! growing up. Actually the THREAT of a flake of snow meant NO SCHOOL! so you know.... snow = pure happiness

The show was great tonight. A lot of students came out in the 3 degree weather (I'm sure the free chai tea and yummy cookies didn't hurt anything!) There were a couple of girls that started 2-stepping during "And Then Some" which REALLY impressed me. There wasn't a dance floor... but they just adjusted and kicked off their shoes. It was great. : )
The student paper did a great write-up for us too!

Bates News Article

And I have to say a big thanks to Meg Crocker for posting videos and pics from the evening!!! I lost my uploader thingy... so I can't get pics off my camera until we hit up a Best Buy!!! But Meg posted lots of pics on facebook -



She had them all up by the time the guys and I got done watching Lost in the hotel! Speaking of... Good Lord! That show is just bananas. I really need to go back and watch all the previous episodes because it's getting to the point where I can't remember half the stuff that's happened. Lost is so addictive. Actually, the last time we were in a Hilton Garden watching Lost - it was our first time in Hilton Head, SC. I remember that so well. We barely made it to the hotel in time to watch it on tv. We've given up on that notion... television, that is.... it's streaming online for us kiddos these days.

We head to Bristol, Rhode Island tomorrow. But it's only 3.5 hours away!!!! We get to sleep in!!!! I am waaaaaayy excited about that. Well... except that it is already 3:30...

yeah... I'm going to bed. Here's hoping for a Best Buy run tomorrow. And maybe a Red Robin? Mmmmm... food... NO! SLEEP!
