Emory and Henry College Sadie Hawkins Dance

We played our first Sadie Hawkins dance tonight at Emory and Henry College. :)

It was a BLAST! There was a DJ to get the kids dancing for a while before we took the stage. When David took the stage to open the show.... we were all a tad nervous about the fact that these kids came to DANCE. It's a completely different mindset to play a show as an artist rather than as a "provider of dance music". But we went with it.

Turns out... the students? Couldn't have asked for a better group! When David started, they all left the dance floor... grabbed chairs from the tables, and set the chairs on the dance floor to sit and listen!!! SO COOL! And then when I came out, they all started moving the chairs back and started dancing to the full band. We had so much fun. And I even got out on the dance floor with them during "This Time". There was a couple in front doing an awesome dance to my song. I hopped down... started doing the step with them, and within seconds the ENTIRE dance floor was all doing the same step! It was just like a movie!!!!

Emory and Henry College has a beautiful campus. And we were playing on a lawn, under a giant white tent... again.... just like a movie. I have always thought parties under tents looked so classy and fun. :) And now I've gotten to play in one.

Some of my fellow dancers:








After the show, we were excited because we heard that a Huddle House shared the parking lot with our hotel. That made dinner a really easy choice. Ummm.. that is until we walked into the Huddle House and they said - sorry!!! Grill just closed. Midnight -2am only thing available is biscuits, gravy, and waffles. Well... on to iHop 20 minutes away...

Turns out, it was well worth it. David got pancakes filled with nuggets of cheescake. Panther got a country fried steak, eggs, and pancakes.... And by the end the guys were making the syrups talk to each other. What does that mean? I have no idea, and I was there....
LOOK AT THAT MEAL!


Peace. Love. Fiddle.

Dancin In The Georgia Rain

Wanna know why I think the kids at Armstrong Atlantic State University are the coolest?

When it started raining today, they didn't all run and hide under covers (well, some did) but instead? They ran out and started dancing IN the rain to our music!!! It was so awesome, and only made the show even more memorable.

The way the stage was set up, we were under a covered area, but our speakers were out front. And the members of the Campus Union Board that were sponsoring the event, ran to our rescue!!! We were in the middle of "Even Alaska" so, they just took the speakers off the stands and set them up on stage with us! It was perfect!

Thanks for the photo Shaun! (I stole it off of facebook just now :) )


CUB :) Thank you for everything! Especially the golf cart rides :)


The Pike Boys were grilling hot dogs for Rush, right across from the stage. It smelled SOOOOOO good! :) Thanks for the free smells, guys.


Ummm... definitely my first "Human Anatomy and Physiology Book" signing!


CUB had me sign this poster that had been written on before the show :) They presented it to Josh DURING the show. He was so embarrassed, but it was pretty awesome.


Zerik - one of my favorite dancers from the day!


I have the rest of the pics up on facebook. For now? I'm going to bed!

Peace. Love. Fiddle.
