Greensboro Stop

So it's almost midnight here in Greensboro - and after correcting some grammatical errors our oh so studious readers sent in (you would think they were all teachers or something...), it's time for another entry in the blog!

First off, this afternoon's set-list:

Amazed

Sunflower Land

Prodigal Son

40

House of Stone and Light

Let Your Light Shine

Broken

Blue Boat

Heal This Land

One Love

Shine On

Trying To Find a Purpose

Little Help From My Friends

Lean On Me

Umbrella

Long Train Runnin'

Turn, Turn, Turn

The sound today was particularly well mixed, and the band played a great set that really got the crowd going. Speaking of crowds, a special thanks to all of Holy Trinity for being so supportive and coming out in such large numbers. Everyone here @ SRP appreciates it!!

To future show attendees, the band is working on some very cool songs to add later in the tour, so don't expect to see the same set-list twice! One song in particular I'm very excited about...

In other news, all members of the SRP have officially switched to the "automatic drift" method of steering in Mario Kart. We understand that some of the purists out there will probably call this a "sissy move" - but we all prefer to be able to focus on crushing other players, rather than sliding into a turn.

Also, since tomorrow is our first day of real driving, SRP will be starting our inter-band mix contest. Basically we all had to anonymously create hour long mixes and submit them for judgement by the band during the course of our travels. The winner collects a whooping $5 from his fellow band-mates. If the winner can then assign each mix to it's original creator, everyone ponies up another $5. I'm feeling pretty good about my chances, but what do our readers think? Who is the best mix maker in the band? And if you had to start a mix, what would your opening two songs be?

Ok, enough of this for tonight...but don't think I'm going to bed - it's Wii bowling time and I have a score to settle with Mr. Hensley. (Who, as I sit here typing, is literally bowling between his legs facing backwards...nice) So long from Greensboro!! We can't wait to see everyone in Cary tomorrow night!

Tomorrow Night's Show:

Saint Paul's Episcopal

221 Union Street

Cary NC

Show starts at 7:00!

Let The Project Begin

Welcome River Rats to the Sloan River Project touring blog! I'm Matt Sloan, and I'll be your guide and spiritual advisor for the next ten days or so. The other members of the band will also be posting and contributing, but as the head "roadie" for the band I feel like this blogging thing is pretty much my responsibility. That being said, off we go...


It's day one of the SRP tour and I'm watching Josh pack up the Wii while Steven eats cake for breakfast - don't ever let it be said that we don't have our priorities in order. Last night the band made a very successful debut at Hensley House to an enthusiastic crowd of family and friends. Following that we did what all good bands do after a show and PARTIED!! By which I mean we had dinner and drinks (those of us of legal drinking age), came home, smoked some hookah, ate pie, played Mario Kart and went to bed. We're still working on the whole "party like a rock-star" thing.

Well it's about time to hit the road so let me wrap this up...I hope you enjoy the blogging. Feel free to comment, and also you can follow us on TWITTE @ http://twitter.com/TheSRP.


We'll be in Greensboro tonight, playing at Holy Trinity Episcopal, 607 North Greene St. Show starts @ 5:00! Hope to see you all there!!
