Like Flies On A Windshield

So I'm sorry to report that morale is low on the crew bus. We're only a few shows in and even though they've gone smooth enough, the lack of a few key elements being in place (ie. a production manager and a travel agent) has caused the tour to get off to a disjointed start and we've been stuck in some pretty shit hotels miles from anywhere you'd care to or need to be. In Chicago, where we did 2 shows with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, we had to stay an hours drive outside the city because of the travel agent snafu. We're in Ithaca now which is nice. Saw a really old friend tonight which always makes the miles seem worthwhile. We have a production mgr. starting at the next gig so hopefully that'll make things better and not worse. I remain cautiously optimistic.

As I mentioned, we did the first of 5 shows opening for Tom Petty. These guys are truly the old guard, super pro and very welcoming. The band is amazing and the songs are classics. Not a bad way to kill a few hours after work.

Tom Fucking Petty
