Start the season with rain...end with rain

When we started our tour back on July 2rd in Ohio we skirted rain by a day on both sides. But the 4th was a big rain day actually causing the cancellation of fireworks in MO. And here is Paris the threat of rain hung over us and it opened a can of whoop-butt on us today with three shows in the rain. The last two so bad we worn minimum costume (the little ones in street clothes) to avoid damaging them. What drove us nuts is that people showed up! The first two shows were SRO (Standing room only). The third (in the rain ) had around 75 folks....the forth (in serious rain) had 50 or more. This all meant packing up in the rain. So now we have to pray for cool weather so we don't get mold on the stage or drops by the time we reach Cali.
The four will fly out of Dallas on Monday so they will sleep in Dallas tomorrow as Olivia and I head out to Amarillo or Tucumcari, NM. Rain is the name of the weather for this area tomorrow so keep us in your prayers as we make the drive to Dallas.
James befriended a number of band geeks today and the frequented almost every show. Made for a lively crowd. Actually the crowds in all 4 shows were lively. Great compliments from the managment and staff as well. We had fun.
Gonna sleep in.
