Waking up at 9:40 a.m.

 

PB&J English Muffin. Tea.

 

Hitting the road towards Ft Lauderdale. Chris drives the bus while the rest of us catch up on things in the back.

 

Stop at Love’s.

Eggs. Banana. Salt n Vinegar Chips. Cookie.

 

We arrive a little later than we wanted to the Amaturo Theater but there are plenty of stage hands to help. Getting the stage set up as quickly as we can.

 

 

We run into issues at sound check unfortunately. The snake we need to go with our new mixing board had to be rented causing us to halt sound check.

...

So instead we enjoy the dinner, which is amazing.

 

 

Then, on with sound check. We still have issues – crackling ghost sounds in channels. We end up home running a bunch of xlr’s that solves the problems.

 

 We have a full house tonight with plenty of fan energy – everyone sings and claps along.

 

 

Afterwards, packing up and loading out. It’s a little extra strenuous cause we’re missing Carlos, Chris is leaving the tour, and Jimmy broke his ankle. So I’m picking up a lot of slack packing up the trailer.

 

Then, I end up driving the 2.5 hour drive back to the AirBnB. I’m totally exhausted.
