We made it to Connecticut?
Well, this is as far north as we go. We did it. B.O.M.B. Fest (tomorrow) is within 10 minutes of here, this was our pre-fest show thing at a night club-esque / UFC watching room.
We met up with a bunch of buddies from back home who are also up for B.O.M.B. Fest and pretty soon, though we're ages away from home, thing started feeling homey again.
The night was pretty solid, apart from the huge UFC fight projections right next to us which was a little weird, and we all just got pretty jacked about tomorrow.
Today!

Alex's hometown. This day ruled.
I pretty much explained the day in the captions in the video.
So I'll just say we had a lot of fun and met a lot of awesome friends.
It was like,
Wake up at 1pm - Hang at Alex's house - Get to venue at 5pm - Played a super fun show - Partied back at Alex's house early for his b-day.

Very discreet tour day.
We essentially turned a day off into a very small show and chance to see Roanoke.
The highlights:
- Beautiful scenic drive, once again.
- I got a new snare stand and golf bag for my cymbal stands at a nearby thrift for 7$
- We played some old beauties, like "Stay Drunk" and the infamous first Sun Hotel song "South (All the Kids)"
- We utilized cans of almonds as shakers.
- They gave us free sweet tea while we played.
- With no where to stay, we decided to splooge and just buy drinks and party in a dirty hotel room.
in Charlottesville currently, it's wonderful.
see ya

Awww yeah! A nice short drive this time around. Only about 3 hours.
After a short little shot up I65 north we ended up at The Boro Bar & Grill at around 5PM. All seemed good and it all ended up turning out to be a great night. After playing a bit of pool to pass the time, buying an 18 pack of PBR for one hell of a good deal(11$) and grabbing a quick bite to eat(out of our cooler of course) we jumped on stage at about 10PM and played a good long set of about 1.5 hours (only because of encouragement from the bar and a large amount of pitchers of Budweiser given to us).
All in all things turned out really well for a monday night in a bar not usually showcasing bands during the week. Made some new friends, gave away some music, and had an awesome time! Oh, and before I forget! Upon packing up our trailer we encountered quite an interesting fellow by the name of Travis who proceeded to invite us to come hang with him with promises of ladies of any race, age, and size for each member of the band as well as some other strange stuff. Thanks Travis?
Anyways, that's it for Murfreesboro! Let me know what you think of the video! I (Alex) made it this time around. Thanks for reading!
