The First Day of My Life

So the road trip has started. I am currently sitting in a rest stop an hour East of Toledo writing this entry, which you will probably read a lot later. I decided to call it a night for driving, considering I am already way ahead of schedule and don’t have to be in Denver for three more days. That gives me plenty of time.

This is technically my first stop along the way, and I am going to fill my tank for the first time since I left when I head out in the morning. I did stop in Rochester for a Garbage Plate filled dinner. And it was delicious as usual. I went to Henrietta Hots and decided that there macaroni salad needs work. Other then that they have great garbage, or “hot”, plates. I also met this really old Black Guy named Ebons at this particular establishment and I realized that he must have invented Ebonics…Given his name, and the fact that I had no idea what he was saying.

Other then that the road trip has been pretty uneventful so far…obviously. I mean Ive driven through Pennsylvania, where the first road after entering is Gay Road, and Most of Ohio. Talk about the boring part of the trip. I mean Im sure its more fun then Nebraska, but we will find out this time around.

So right now Im going to go get some shut eye, so I can get an early start in the morning…and hopefully get to Chicago at a good time for driving.

I can fit my life in my car.
With the exception of my 12-String Guitar.

Stu-Stu-Studio

So the other day I got to hang out in the studio with Candid for a little while. I didn’t get to see much cause I had shit to do, but I got to watch them play a couple of their new songs, including Termites, and I got to just sit around and bullshit with the band.

Something I found interesting was the setup JP had for himself. He had a long chord for his guitar so that he could sit outside at the switch board and play in front of the band. Perhaps it was for the sole purpose of watching Corey…I don’t really know…I just thought it was interesting.

I will be handing out Candid CDs on this road trip I am taking, or have already taken…depending on when I actually get to post this. I don’t have anyone in the car with me yet, so for now I cant make copies and hand them out. That will change once I get Brian in Denver. Which of course means I wont be able to hand out CDs til I get to the Mid-West and the West Coast. Which is fine, I mean doesn’t everyone just listen to Bluegrass in Oklahoma?
