our travels

Fairfield, Iowa?

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:26:55 +0100

So, after Chicago, we hightailed it to Fairfield ... Máirtín had been in contact with our pal, Tim Briton, who was putting us up for the night, and setup a wee gig for us.

Máirtín conducted his interview on Tim’s radio show while on the road ... while the rest of us uttered words of encouragement and support in his ear!!!!

Anyhew, once we landed, it was the usual slog of ... out of the van, organise and count the t-shirts and CD’s ... a job we all relish, and are always eager to excel at!!!

Chicago, again, and memory lane

So after the excitment of 6 flags, it was book into Chicago, go for a smashing Italian Dish, and get ready for gig the following day. Course there was the small bit of shopping to get through too!! I think this was our only day for shopping, so I’m proud of our performance in that department!!

Six Flags - a day off

So, after that weekend ... with only a week left to go for us ... we needed some (more) downtime!! And where else do a bunch of musicians go when in Merica, only 6 flags!! Us being young-fellas and a bit green .. we said we needed some local experience to take us around the park and show us how is done ... team cool style!!

Take a break in Chicago

On Saturday, after the gig, myself and Mick took a spin down to Chicago ... to get away from the madness, and go to some completely different madness!! TJ was playing a gig that night ... Todd Hembrook and the Hemispheres .. a soul band. A little different to what we’re used to over the last few weeks, but a welcome change!! Sometimes, it feels as if the stuff we do is a little repetitive! ... a little!! ;)

Milwaukee - Part 1

So, just after Green Bay we took off on the road ... AGAIN ... for Milwaukee. We had a date in the Botanical Gardens that night, a gig in the park, Lark by The Lee I suppose, Milwaukee style! So, once we arrived in, checked into the hotel, got about 4 minutes snooze and off to the gig.
