9 a.m. bus call this morning. Leaving Lakeside, Ohio. We all pile into the bus and van.

 

Banana and tea. Then napping in the back.

...

Getting some computer things done.

 

Arriving at The Murphy Theatre in Wilmington, Ohio. We just played here nine months ago – they loved us so much they booked us again. Loading in and setting up the stage. Only problem today is there isn’t any muscle capable stage hands except for a few helpful older guys.

 

 

Sound check goes a little better than yesterday after we ironed out all the kinks.

 

They feed us a wonderful homemade pasta filled with veggies and chicken.

 

 

The first half of the show goes pretty well. But somewhere during intermission Kevin starts losing enthusiasm. Ron and him are talking it out in one of the dressing rooms. Even though he’s been drinking that’s not the root of the problem – it’s a mismanagement of money, mainly how Nigel handles everything.

...

Somehow we get on the stage for the second set but not without a few hiccups.

 

 

The load out and pack takes a bit of extra work on Carlos and I’s part but we get it done with everyone else’s help too. Out in the alley we all bid our farewells cause everyone has an overnight drive tonight.

 

Attempting to sleep in the back of the bus while Bob drives us through rocky terrain – I think I’m actually getting airtime lol.
