Hey baby, rest in sound, I'll make a few stops and fall on the ground
It's the lowest I've ever done, you couldn't love anymore
Come on, come on
Hey baby, give it a try, I am finding the answer if you wanna know why
I don't wanna never give another...
Heading to O'Hare, going to Chicago and this is the weather I'm leaving
It's real cold and we got about four inches of snow this morning
So I'm glad the roads are clear, thank God Illinois
Illinois, I.DOT, transportation actually got something done today, so that's a plus
But yeah, it's definitely cold and it's definitely snowy
And people are driving about four mile an hour, which is really just driving me insane
But yeah, this is what I'm leaving, heading for Phoenix
Well, I'm in O'Hare, going busy Friday night Chicago traffic
But not too horrible, I've got here in plenty of time
Funny thing is, my gate is one gate down from where I spent so, so, so many hours
So this is all bringing back painful memories
Not like in the Spirit Airlines already, they allow you one personal item and no carry-on
No, nothing, carry-on was 50 bucks, check bag was 45
So that backpack just got real expensive
Just amazing me, but yeah
So I'm here plenty of time, looks like the flight is A-OK to go
So we'll be out here and be in Phoenix before too long
I've got about an hour, so I'm going to get some dinner and then set in charge of my phone
And then head out for the long trip
We are at the venue now, we are at Chandler High School
We're supposed to be at the Mesa Amphitheater, but things changed
So we're at Chandler High School now
Really, really cool, big, big, big school, so that's kind of neat
But yeah, it's weird because it's for the Illinois boy here
It's weird having an outdoor school where there's no real hallways, everything is outdoor walking
So that's saying a little bit he used to
But it's a beautiful, beautiful day, there's actually a swim meet happening on the other side of the school
So it's real, real pretty out
I think it's supposed to have a high 85 today
So it definitely beats the high of, I think, 15 back home today
Yeah, it's real cool out here
Working with Twisted as usual
And yeah, going to go do some rigging today
Get a backdrop hung and laid out a cheer floor and then start the competition
So, looking forward to a new experience
Just got everything set up in the main room
I'm over setting up the practice room audio right now
There's just been a cluster to say the least
The facility basically made a bunch of promises and kept up with almost none of them
It's just been special
That's one of the ones that tests your abilities and see what you can actually make happen
I think we're going to get it all done though, so it'll be a good competition everybody will be happy
But it's just not like we were hoping for
You live and learn
Yeah, so it's just a lot of running around
And my Illinois self is definitely not liking running around from building to building in this heat
It's a little warm out
But got to get it done
So starting the competition here real soon
I think doors either just opened or opened in just a few minutes
Then we'll go and get it knocked out and it'll be another successful competition
We are in the midst of competition
Everything's going smooth
Really, really rough start this morning, but everything's going smooth now
So life is good
I got a little bit of a break that they're doing stretches and such
Getting ready for the next round
So I get a little free play time, so I love that
It's always my favorite part
So I'll be starting my competition here shortly
So
So
Well finally finishing up after a real long day again
Everything went relatively smooth
I got lots of compliments on the music, was real pleased with that
Had a few people that were very displeased with the volume of the music
But it's a cheerleading event, that's what we do
For the most part everybody was real super complimentary and had a real good time
So I'm all for it
Just a long day in this friggin' heat
I'm not built for this
So yeah, so looking forward to some air conditioning
I'll have some beverages here in a minute and cap off a good day
So it's been fun and looking forward to getting some sleep tonight
And got a flight in the morning
So relatively easy weekend, I'm not going to complain
It is about 8am on Sunday
Getting ready to leave for the airport
I appreciate Dave and Luke's hospitality
It's been real, real nice
Their guest rooms fantastic and their cool house
But yeah, it's been pretty easy weekend
Everything went fairly smooth after we got the rough morning started
But yeah, all is well
So heading for the airport now
Looking forward to a nice mellow flight on the way back
This time I was smart enough to charge my phone before I leave
So don't have to worry about it dying on me on the flight
I'm going to actually be back home in about 5-ish hours
Or actually be back in Chicago in about 5-ish hours
Be back home in about 7-ish hours
Alrighty
They're always born
Just take this song
And you'll never be left out alone
Take me to your heart
Through me and your bones
Just one more night
And I'm coming on this lonely winding road
I'm on my way
Oh sweet home
Tonight I could not
I'm on my way
Oh sweet home
You know that I've seen
Too many romantic dreams
Up in light
Falling on the silver screen
My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometime nothing
Keeps me together at the seats
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Oh sweet home
Tonight I could not
I'm on my way
Just set me free
Oh sweet home
