We hit some snow on the way down but nothing too serious. It made it feel like Christmas! Once we got there John, Josh (John's older bro) and myself went to his friends Oyster Roast. I don't think I have ever seen so many oysters in one place! It was a great way to jump start the day. They had a keg of Starhill Brewery's "The Gift" beer and it was phenomenal. Afterwards we met his dad for dinner and drinks. Later on in the evening, John's madre and I zipped on down to the venue. The guys had to get there early to set up. This show was so exciting and it had a great turn out! Being from Charlotte, John had quite a group of people make it out! We were even lucky enough to hear Andy play some old Big Chief stuff and Ronnie tear apart "Bulls on Parade".
One thing made this show even more exciting and that was due to it being streamed LIVE from the venue. The guys used this website (http://www.ustream.tv/) to do it and had 37 people log in to view the two set show! It amazes me what technology allows us to do. My mom was able to watch the show from Raleigh! I hope they make this a regular addition to the shows.
We would like to thank everyone that made it out last night! From family to friends to complete strangers (strangers no more after being doused with some friendly tunes), thank you for supporting these guys and bringing your friends. The good people at The Double Door were so good to us and we look forward to going back (we as in they...haha).
