A look back....

Well here we are.......It's May. It's been about a month sense the tour has been over with. As I look back at it here is the good, the bad, and the ugly.

My favorite part of tour - Seeing how beautiful our country is. I had never been west of Denver before. Seeing the west coast was amazing. God is beautiful. His creation is outstanding!

Least favorite part of tour - Never sleeping in the same place twice. It was hard at first waking up in a new place every day. Never knowing where you were going to stay was interesting. Having a nice hotel was like GOLD! We stayed at some interesting places for sure! The worst - Days Inn in Chicago, IL. Hole in the tube, old soap, no window=nasty. Best - Morgantown WV. Hotel on the river, big room, big tub, very nice clean room. Beautiful!

Driving was also interesting. I drove through snow, rain, sleet, heat, fog, smog, every condition you can think of. It was great and bad. Driving through the mountains of West Virginia in a fog so dense I could not see 10 feet in front of me was the worst drive ever. Driving from Portland to northern California was INCREDIBLE!!!!

Best Venue - The metropolitan theatre in Morgantown, WV. Old theater that had an awesome balcony, awesome paintings, awesome chandelier.

Worst Venue - Really, there were no venues that were horrible. I'll give this to all the shows that were cancelled, those venues stunk!

Best food - Main Street Cafe! Cool venue in Kansas City. HOMEMADE food!!! It was awesome. Chicken Pot pie, Macaroni and Cheese, fruit.....amazing!

Worst food - Everywhere that served pasta!!! haha, which was everywhere else basically. Don't get me wrong, I wont complain over free food, but EVERY place we went has pasta, pizza, ect.... It got old really fast. But it was free so I cant complain too much.

Best crowd - This is a toss-up. The Memphis show was AWESOME! but it was a home crowd so I cant give it the full credit. Phoenix,AZ was the best show we had. We were the opening band on the tour and the crowd went crazy for us and even wanted an encore!!!! It was crazy!!!! That was an incredible feeling. (Notable crowd: Orlando - my hometown, it was awesome)

Worst Crowd - The one person that showed up for our gig in Springfield, IL. HAHAHAHA - wow was that awkward. The one person wasn't lame, it was lame that one person came. Tho the crowd was junky, it was fun to play that night. We jammed a little bit and just had fun.


Overall, I wouldn't trade this experience for anything. God showed me so much about him, me, and everyone else. God is good. He grew me in my musical abilities, my relationship with him, my relationship with others, and so on. I would love to tour again (I get to this summer!!! woohoo) I could see myself doing this for the next chunk of my life. I love spreading the word of God through music. God changed lives through us and our music, and that is something I want to be involved in for a long time.

Thanks to all who have been reading this blog, I hope that you were blessed by it in some way or another.
