Minneapolis was most def. my favorite stop of the tour so far. Started off by a trip to Perkins with Kris and the family (j&k and the girls), and then a nap before Ris, Aud, Tan, and Zac arrived! It was so good to see them, I’ve missed them a ton! Once June woke up from her nap we went on a walk to the Washington Bridge, a walk that from the 400 bar should’ve taken about 5 minutes but ended up taking an hour because June had to splash in every puddle. Then my parentals, bro, brooke sheilds, and Abby came and we all went out to dinner after taking about 20 pictures in the club, in which Roxie had to give everyone bunny ears. Real mature mom! Just kidding. We had Chipotle for dinner. OMGOSH I LOVED IT! Then it was back to the club for the show. Because of the awful local comedian, I gained a new found appretiation for Todd Barry. All of us on the bus now miss him a lot and wish he was still with us! The show was awesome, Free Energy and MOS rocked, selling out the show.
The next morning June and I went to a park on the otherside of the Riverside Plaza apartments. Sketch. Kori, Julia, and I then went out for Thai food for lunch and had some quality girl talk time. Another nap later, I got together with Anne, Eric, and Cody to find out that I have been losing my mind! I’ve missed them! Anne and I are meant to be together, we knew this, it was just reinforced by our hanging out. The Morans, Todd&Kelly, and Diane&Jessi, came up to hang out for a while and we all went to Noodle’s which was a lot of fun hanging out with all the family. Cody and Adam came to the show to hang with me while I did merch that night which was sooo awesome. I pretty much did all of Free Energy’s merch for them too cuz they just all disapeared into the dungeon of a green room in the basement. It was cool though cuz after the show got to help take down and hang with all the crew. Micheal, our bus driver who has never done stand up ever in his whole life, went on stage and did comedy and KILLED IT! He was sooo funny! We were all so proud of him. :)
Also on a side note, I was chatting with the club owner and he really needs 2 good trumpet players to play back up for spoon at the bascillica block party so if any trumpet player reads this (ahem AARON!) and is interested lemme know…or you could just peer pressure aaron to do it cause it would be a super awesome opportunity and aaron is being a pansy!
Got to sleep in until noon today. When I woke up, Omaha Nebraska and all its sweltering heat was waiting for me outside. Besides the temp. this town has really impressed me. The club was the nicest we have seen yet! With a shower (which i got to use! :))),laundry stuff, and an awesome stage. Not to mention there was an Urban Outfitters AND American Apparel not more than 50 feet from the bus. [Yes dad, I spent money, but I couldn’t help it there was a sale!]
Tomorrow is Denver. Will get to see cousin Betsty and do Merchandise again. THen Sunday is our day off.
