Getting ready to leave the shop headed to St. Charles, Missouri, which is right
outside of St. Louis. Another Swiss competition. This one is all in one day.
We'll be load in, load out, and show in one day. Dan? Hey! Getting ready to drive. It's only about
two and a half hour, three hour drive, good for take, so it's not too bad. But yeah,
we'll be there a nice, easy evening, and then a really, really, really, really load in.
We're on the slowest elevator in the world, so I have a little bit of time to make a little check-in
here. We are heading over to Texas Roadhouse from the hotel. Works out real well, because the hotel
we sat last year, same hotel this year, and it's right next to Texas Roadhouse, so it works out.
Yeah, nice mellow right in. Decent room, so life's good. Going to get some food now.
That was an adventure. I had to run back to the room for a second to grab my hoodie,
because there was a weight at Texas Roadhouse, and the elevators, there's two of them. One of
which was shut off and out of order. Turns out that we had to get it kicked on, because the other
elevator didn't feel the need to come down, and the buttons weren't sticking and all that good stuff.
So then the manager tells us that the elevator works. He just randomly decides it doesn't
want to open the doors for certain floors. So he rode the elevator up with us and made sure it
opened. But yeah, quality. It's been a special hotel. We were here at the same hotel last year,
and it's nice. It's nothing super high-end, but it's nice. And they did construction last year.
Didn't quite get the elevators working right, so it's pretty funny. Just getting ready to head
to sleep here. We've got a 4 a.m. load in, so I'm gonna be not looking forward to waking up for
that, but got a good meal. Randall Walgreens got some stuff there, so now we're here and
get ready to call it a night. We are in St. Louis this morning. Load in is a little easier. We're
working with local 6 today. Hi, Aussie. So I got some good guys to work with. They'll help us
give everything together at on time. It is four in the morning. Obviously, doors open at 11. So
we're used to about a 15-hour load in, just me and Dan, and now we're down to a 7-ish hour load
in. So we're gonna make knocking out and get ready to go. We just finished loading in at the family
arena in St. Louis. Local 6 did a great job. We really appreciate their help. Got us in a real
good hurry. We are currently sound-checking, kick-full. They'll be back with us for this part
of the tour, and they're sounding good, so we're ready to go. So doors open in, I think,
about an hour. So we're really ahead of schedule and doing great. So it's been a nice,
nice, relaxed morning, and everything's going really good. So looking forward to it.
Oh, I didn't just get hot in here.
Oh, I didn't just get hot in here.
This next song is called By Your Side. Can I get everyone to stand up and jump around for this one?
He's on the air tonight. Oh, baby, I just want to see you last night.
Your smile could light up the stadium and your eyes are brighter than the sun. So hold your head higher than anyone.
Oh, can't you see? You're the one I want. I just want to see you, lifted up.
I want to see you smile
Can I get some ladies in the air tonight
Oh, baby, I just want to see you fly
So hey, tell me, tell me, can we take it to the sky?
And I... I'll be right here by your side
Can I get some ladies in the air tonight
Oh, baby, I just want to see you fly
So hey, tell me, tell me, can we take it to the sky?
And I... I'll be right here by your side
I just wanna see you
Lifted up, I wanna see you smile
And can I get some ladies in the air tonight
Oh baby, I just wanna see you fly
So high, tell me, tell me can we take it to the sky
And I, I'll be right here by your side
And I can get some ladies in the air tonight
Oh baby, I just wanna see you fly
So high, tell me, tell me can we take it to the sky
And I, I'll be right here by your side
a
Well who's an ace relax in a day?
did quite a bit of work, but local six down in Saint Louis was fantastic
Got play a goddess then got us out, so worked herop well
another event in the books
so life is good went uh
Buffalo Wild Wings, had some yummy food, so now we're back at the room, just kind of kicking back.
I watched a little bit of TV, got sucked into a Megalodon documentary about the giant shark,
and just had to watch it to the conclusion, and it, of course, showed nothing.
So that was kind of a big waste of time, but when you're full and happy, you get kind of zoned in on stuff.
Dan just headed to bed, so I think I'm gonna grab a shower and hit the set myself.
It's been a long, long day. It's like 10.30 or something, but we've been up since three, so time to go to bed.
So another successful trip.
It's about 10am. We're leaving the hotel now, heading back home.
Pretty good weekend. Nice, relatively mellow. Nothing went wrong. It just didn't competition or anything. Everything went real smooth.
So yeah, pretty good weekend. Another one of the books.
So got about a month off in between. I'm playing club dates.
And then we'll be back. The next Twisted War will be in Pittsburgh at the end of March.
So I'll see you then.
Bye.
