Terre Haute and The Verve...Great Success


Hello to all who are reading this. It is 3:30 am and we just got settled into a fine Super 8. First things first, the drive down to Terre Haute went very smooth, and we arrived here around 7 pm Eastern Time...not bad. For those of you who don't know anything about Terre Haute, it is home of Indiana State University, which is where Larry Bird went to school. We actually got our picture taken on Larry Bird Avenue, good times. We went to The Verve first, and talked with a dude named Brandon (I called him Brando the whole night) who had a hardcore southern accent. He claimed he was from Appleton, WI, which I didn't buy...just kidding...he seemed like a legit guy. We spent a little time on campus handing out flyers for our show at The Verve, and then went back to The Verve (which was a block off campus) to play some music.

The show was killer to say the least. The crowd was digging it. One guy in the crowd told me that our version of 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' was the best he's ever heard...I agree. Multiple people told me that we were the best band to ever play at The Verve...of course they were probably drunk but I liked it. Everyone at the show was very nice and wanted to talk to us between sets and afterwards. It's always nice to have people that want to interact with you about the music...and about life. Also, JBones gave the show a 7 out of 10 on the SHB show rating system...not bad.

All in all, the show was sweet, the people were sweet, and Terre Haute was sweet. I would come back here again...I'm going to bed now.
