Yay, family!

Today was a long, but good day.

We played a shorter, one-hour set on the campus of Southern Adventist University in Collegedale, TN. It was in a gymnasium with about 1000 seats and a raised stage, and we had to make a lot of adjustments with lighting and staging, but it came together pretty well. The real treat for me was that I had three family members come out to see me play! Two uncles and an aunt, all from TN - driving from 2.5 to 4 hours to see us. It was awesome to see them in the audience, front-row, talk to them afterward, and I'll get to have breakfast with them tomorrow morning before they head out.

The campus is a vegetarian one, and even the local deli in the nearby grocery store has no meat. I snuck in my leftover ribs from last night's dinner, however...I know, I'm horrible, but they were gooood.

We've still got two sick members, and I'm fighting something myself. Good thing it's mild, but we have two days before the next show and only a five-hour drive in that time, so lotsa rest coming up.
