I arrived back in Maryland this afternoon. I cannot believe that I am actually home! It’s strange sitting at my computer, replaying the last couple of days touring in my head. I’ll try my best to fill you in...
From Cleveland we made our way to Butler, PA to stay with our tour manager’s family and the rest of the group. We played a show in Butler and one of my good friends from high school came to the show and hung out with all of us afterwards. We sat around the campfire and talked until exhaustion hit. It was wonderful seeing her! The next day was opening day for the NFL. We had a coffee shop gig that turned out to be us playing in front of a fountain in the middle of a court yard. I am pretty sure everyone that walked by had some sort of ‘Steelers’ shirt on. Adam and I got to chat with some people from the area and tell them about our travels. The next day was a little nerve racking...I found myself sitting in front of the television watching terrible talk shows. I had too much energy and I was tired of being inside. I roamed around the house a bit (mainly looking for a soccer ball or basketball) it turned out that I found a bucket of sidewalk chalk instead. That afternoon I sat in the driveway and drew bubbles and trees on the concrete. Friday we had a show at a bar in Clarion, PA. It ended up being the a crazy night. People puking, fighting, laughing, crying. Perfect! The next morning we headed to Lewisburg, PA for Adam Taylor’s last show of the tour. We were greeted with a wonderful home cooked meal of rice, beans, salad, and chicken. Instead of taking a nap, I drank some coffee and left for the show. There was four acts and we played the third slot. Adam and I also sang along with Can You Canoe for a bit. We stayed a little while longer, said our goodbyes, and headed back to Adam’s hometown.
Now that I am back I don’t know how to feel. It seems like it all flew by a little too fast for me. At the same time, it feels SO GREAT to be home. I met some fantastic people on this mad adventure. Some of the nicest. Thank you for following my blogging. Hopefully I can keep my life interesting enough to keep writing about it :)

Until then...goodbye!
