The drive Thursday night was alright. The party and show on Friday night was great. The party and show on Saturday was great as well. The drive yesterday sucked!

So back to Thursday night, we got into Cincinnati at the normal 3AM or so. We headed straight out to my parents to rest up. Kim left early in the morning to visit with her family. Mike and I stayed back to help out with some setup stuff for the party. Eventually my buddies Joe and Will showed up and we headed down to Liam’s place. We partied for a few hours and eventually took some cabs over to the show. We saw some of Glen Phillips and all of Broussard. His set was short but good. Afterward we headed over to Habit’s for a few more drinks. It was a good night for sure.

The next morning, we all woke up on Liam’s hardwood floor and decided it was time to head back out to my parents. After a couple of stops along the way, we were finally there and ready to party. And party we did! It was extremely hot out, but there was still a good sized crowd during the day. A late afternoon shower cooled it all down for a great set of music from Greenstreet. The cops came a time or two, but that’s to be expected. After the music was shut down, we hung out until late in the night until we could no longer keep our eyes open. It was definitely a great party!

The drive back yesterday was horrible. It seemed like it would never end. The only good thing was our record setting license plate game. You know the game where you try to see a license plate from every state. We ended up with everything but Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, North Dakota, North Carolina, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. We also saw Washington DC along with 4 Canadian provinces: Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. This is a combined list from both drives, although most of them were found on the drive into Cincinnati.
