So after work last night we headed out to Lawrence. Todd thought about tagging along, but in the end decided he couldn’t “hang with us youngins.” We get to the venue around 7:30 expecting to pay $5 a person, but the guy at the door checked our ID’s and asked for $9 each. I hate when they do that, and it got worse when the show was supposed to start at 8:00 but they pushed it back to 9:00. I could tell that Kim wasn’t very happy with that at all, and she ended up leaving around 8:00 to go home. We did get her money back though! My buddy Tim Maus was at the show, and he offered to drive me home, so it worked out. The show eventually started at 9 with Dave Barnes. I was pretty impressed with this guy even though he only played for a little over half an hour. Pretty funny guy too. Pete Schmidt played next, and I really cannot get into him and his music. It isn’t bad, but it doesn’t do much for me, perhaps I am just growing tired of this singer songwriter genre. Tanner Walle played next with Mike and a couple of the other guys from his band. Good show as usual, and I’m excited to hear that they will be releasing a CD somewhat soon. Finally! :) Marc Broussard played last with a full band. Some of you may remember that the opened up for OAR when I followed their tour last spring break. Well when he opened it was just Marc and a bass player. I though the was really good then, and I’m happy to say that his show is even better now. The band really complimented his sound, and didn’t take anything away at all. The energy was on, and the new songs they played all sounded great. After the show I just told Marc that he played a good show. Immediately he recognized me and said didn’t you follow the OAR tour about a year ago, like the whole tour. Ah memories. We talked about that for a minute or two, and he said that he had seen Liam a few times since then. I told him that we would all be down at Jammin’ On Main, and he seemed excited to be playing there. Hopefully I get to see another excellent show this weekend!
