Charlottesville, Virginia.

Awesome show last night in downtown Charlottesville. This is clearly a town that loves music. We gathered more email addresses (voluntarily) last night than any other night on tour (and maybe even more than any single night at home). We had some issues at the beginning of the set, as Jay’s bass wouldn’t make any noise. As it turns out, the power outlet on the wall by the stage is tied into the room light dimmer switches – so when the staff dimmed the lights to set the mood for our set, it also killed all of the power to Jay’s rig. Oops. It took a good 15 minutes to figure that out, but then we got to rockin’. Signed some more CD’s and posters at the end of the night and made a lot of new friends. Looks like we’ll be back there in April with no problems. Can’t wait.

The farm we stayed at last night is unbelievably beautiful. We strolled the property and took some pictures early this morning and then hit the road to Knoxville. We should be there around 2:45pm. I’ll let the photos tell the story of our morning on the farm, and we’ll post more later from Tennessee…
