The Gourds Tonight, Tractor Tavern, Seattle, WA

I am really looking forward to the Gourds show tonight and we are sticking to what has become our standard pre-show warm-up, in meeting at Bad Alberts and then heading to the Tractor. Unexpectedly though, things got started last night as Shelby got a text from Claude at about 8:45 indicating that the boys were “ready to party” and where is Stano?” So, we got dressed, gathered some assorted sundries for the boyz, picked up a case of beer and headed down to meet them at their hotel. They were all in great form after a pretty easy flight from Austin, and we had a great time hanging out, listening to tunes and shooting the sh*t with them. The only thing missing was Keith, who is driving the van up and won't arrive until today. It's always nice to see another fellow local Baltimore boy too, in soundman mark! All in all, it was a great night and I can’t wait for the shows tonight. Tomorrow I’ll pull something together about tonight’s show!
