"We're on a road trip, we can do anything!"

(6/25/08)

This past weekend, I went on a little trip to Florida with my friends Chris and Andy. My band, The Red Baron kicked off our tour on Friday in Brandon, FL (more of that later). As usual, the trip was filled with absurd happenings and conversations, many of which were captured on Chris's new Flip (here is the video intro to such a device). Photobucket and Youtube like to take their sweet time when it pertains to uploading videos, so they may be added intermittently throughout the week. Who knows.

The trip was a huge success. We didn't have much merch, but we still did pretty well somehow. Unfortunately, I had to return to Columbia after the show on Sunday, since I am taking a summer course to graduate. I will be meeting up with the tour next week for Cornerstone, and I cannot wait!

On Friday in Brandon, we played with a band called Venia. They are ridiculously heavy, and equally as awesome dudes. Go listen to them, and buy stuff from their webstore! Our set went so well! We had not played together in about a year, but things went so smooth. Praise God! Check out this video of the show, it rules! This show was honestly one of the most fun shows I have played in a while. I love the baron!

The rest of the trip included naked bass fishing, Andy catching a bass in 3 feet of water, and other types of good ol' southern fun. It's a bummer we had to come home. Actually, this trip inspired me to start this blog, as well as Chris. Go check out his blog, I promise you it is far more interesting!

If you are interested, check out some videos of our food choices on the way. Moe's and Whataburger. Also, more poolside fun here and here.

PS - make sure you check out all the links I have sprinkled throughout the entries, they contain pictures/videos/awesomeness.
