En route to C’Ville (Virginia)

Hello from Woodstock, Virginia. Russ here. We’re on I-81 headed southbound to Charlottesville for the night. We finally heard from the promoter in D.C., and she wasn’t able to get their sound guy to work the show tonight (they have one sound engineer, and he’s booked at a show elsewhere in the city tonight). Bummer. Sucks to lose a Saturday night on tour across the country, but we’ll enjoy relaxing at the farm in Charlottesville and having the full day tomorrow to relax and play some music before heading to Richmond for our 6:30pm flight to Denver. I’m going on about 3.5 hours of sleep from last night anyway, so I’m not sure my pipes would have carried too well had we played. This was a short little whirlwind mini-tour for sure, but I’m glad that we were able to pull it together before the winter sets in. We’ll fill y’all in on our plans for the winter soon… we’ve got some good stuff in the works. I can’t wait to get back to Colorado tomorrow and finish up my home studio. Drywall guys got about 2/3 done before I left for this trip, so they’ll finish up this coming week, I’ll get the carpeting in, and then I can set up the recording gear again to get back to work. I’ve got the place wired for surround sound specifically for recording and mixing… should be a fun place to work and get you guys some new sounds to enjoy in 2010.

Hasta for now, we’re about 2 hours from C’ville… catch you back on our blogs and we’ll return to the Road Journal in February for the NACA Conference in Boston.
