What's happenin' my people!??
Just wanted to unload my thoughts on this past weekend. We really put an effort into preparing for the Glass City gig. We've played this venue many times as an acoustic act, and the audience there has always been super supportive. To add a member and go full-on electric is a big change, and we wanted make sure we were giving them the same if not an increase in quality as before. Well, judging by all the booties that were shakin' Friday night, I'd say we did ok!
Thanks to everyone who made it out to Glass City and showed their support. You guys provided an energy that was so contagious. I really had a great time, and I think I can safely speak for the rest of the guys when I say that your positive energy has motivated us to continue moving forward with nothing but confidence and optimism. I not only want to thank you all for coming, but for staying! Wow, it was so great to see so many people there at 1:00 am still willing to groove with us. Sure, it may have been the drink specials too, but hey, you could have bought your drinks anywhere that night, right? Thanks to Tom and the whole staff at Glass City as well. You guys have always taken care of us, and we look forward to coming back and BLOWING YOUR DOORS OFF!!! (in the most loving way, of course).
