Back to the 'Noog

A Blog Entry By Steven Hopkins:

Today was yet another eventful day on the road. We woke up early, said goodbye to the Robertsons (who are very generous for letting us crash at their place), and headed for Atlanta. The listening portion of the mix CD contest ended today as we heard the final two mixes. I'm going to need some time to figure out which one to vote for. They pretty much all sound good, except that mine is the best...clearly. 

I was happy with the show this evening. I thought everyone played really well. It would sound a lot better if Ben hadn't left us, but Sam and Josh are doing a really great job holding the bottom down in his absence. The set was similar to the previous night's with a few minor changes here and there. As always, "Umbrella" seemed to be somewhat of a hit. Thanks Rihanna :)

After we loaded all the gear, the band went it's separate ways for the night. Josh and I drove back to Chattanooga and we're staying at my (parents') house on the mountain. We spent the evening going over some songs for the show tomorrow. The rest of the group stayed in Atlanta and will drive up here in the morning to get ready for the concert. Speaking of, it's at Rhythm & Brews at 7:00. Ticket info: here. FYI, the money goes to charity, so come on out.

Until some time later,

Steev

P.S. We did laundry tonight. Sweet.
