08/28/09 Kirksville, Missouri @ Kirksville Arts
For our first show back in the mid-west, we played at a cute, lil', college town of Kirksville, MO. We actually played in the town square out doors to everybody from the farmers, to the college professors, to the paper boys, and girl scouts. I think we rocked the professors, all the students, and the farmers too - but some of the farmers were troubled by our jokes about corn being 'EVIL!'
08/29/09 Indianapolis, Indiana @ The Vollrath
This show was a big, homecoming for Courtney - the born n' bread hoosier from Indianapolis. Lately we've had some really great shows back in Indy. The last time around , we played really great show at a combination performance/art opening in the back of a record store called 'Vibes' owned by our friend John Zepps.
This time around we worked with our good friend, and former roomate Molly Flynn. Molly was the booker, promoter, venue manager and managed to do a excellent job getting the show together.
The Vollrath itself, was in a less-than-fancy neighborhood, and it was actually was a scarey experience for some of the people who came out to see us - sadly. But the people working at the funky, old bar were really nice, and think the enjoyed that we had filled the room. Who wouldn't?! For us, getting to see a packed room full of great friends and fans was really not a bad thing at all - to say the least. Thanks to all in Indy for make it a great show!
08/31/09 - Chicago, Illinois @ Millennium Park Festival
This gig was a trip! We played in a tent, in the middle of a park, in the middle of the afternoon. I really didn't know what to expect, but fans turned up, as well as the midday, summer time, curiosity seekers. And in the end it felt like an almost normal, Chicago show. We sold and signed cds to strangers, and fans - as per usual in chicago. But it was strange to play so early. I felt like we had gone back to day jobs, but our day job was now more like our night job.
