Rosetta/City of Ships 2010: Day6, 7, and..something.

So I've lost track of the days by now. All I know is, today is Tuesday, and we're now sitting at a cafe called 'Red Table Cafe' in Ft. Collins, Colorado.

So, let me see if I can recap (remember) the last couple days:


Day6&7

We've been having tons of fun with the frisbee. It's probably the best thing to happen to touring the US since air conditioning. First point of order, Armine shaved his head (with the aid of Rusty's girlfriends):


Our shows in Fargo and Moorhead were awesome. One was a 21+ bar show (which we played absolutely awful), and the other was a house show in some dudes basement, and that show was incredible.


Day 8

We rode into Sioux Falls, SD, and just as we start loading in, the dark clouds rolled in after us. Warnings flashed across the televisions at the bar talking about a severe storm warning, and issuing a tornado watch. Needless to say....I was stoked. The show was okay. I was more excited than anything at the fact that the band playing last (Tennessee Murder Club) ripped off Slipknot with the full jumpsuits and face masks. They even brought old tube televisions to do their ridiculous intro, and had Andy from Battlefields do their mic/monitor check cause they were in the back putting on their masks.


The storm also escalated outside while the bands played. The sky was like a giant strobelight of lightning and thunder.


Day 9

Lincoln, Nebraska...Only redeeming part of this day besides seeing our name on a big marquee:

...was that Ty (the awesome dude on that came along with City of Ships, who is also responsible for the existence of the frisbee) ran up to the very top of a 4 story parking garage across the street from the venue and tossed it down to use, twice. We also had a lot of fun tossing the frisbee at the capitol building before the show, and across the semi-busy streets after the show. The rest of the night (besides the epic frisbee toss in a giant parking lot), was too weird and confusing to even try to write about. Ask me in person some time about Nebraska 2010, and I'll try and dredge up the memories.

Anyway...


Day 10

The Hi-Dive. Is. Awesome. The sound guy was an incredible dude, the stage was just perfect (though I would have liked it a bit lower to the ground), and we got free food, and a place to stay. Oh, and Eric from City of Ships ate a gigantic hotdog.


Today we're chilling for a bit while Andrew and Eric Jernigan meet up with their dad in Ft. Collins, then we have a 7hr drive to SLC where we're playing a place called the 'Shred Shed.'

Stay tuned.
