This past weekend was one for the record books. We hopped in Uncle P, our 89 GMC Rally Van, and headed to the Gulf Coast friday with Jeremy Stanfill. What was to ensue was a weekend we would never forget. On the drive down, everyone participated in the creation of a new song that took the Bay by storm. As we made our way into our home away from home, Bay Saint Louis, MS, we were greeted with open arms from our dear friends Brian and Miku. Eating the famed Mockingburgers while drinking Lazy Magnolia beer as the rain is falling doesn’t get any better. The Mockingbird Cafe was full of great people friday night as us and jeremy played our hearts out. It was great seeing Miku, Brian, ET, Melody, Bones, Alicein, and all of our other great friends down in the bay. Our great friend Miku made sure everything was taken care of for us down there and for that we love her dearly. Saturday, oh Saturday. Our next show was postponed until Sunday, so we spent the day/night with our great friend Steve DeWitt and his lovely wife Erin at their incredible home in Pass Christian. Upon our arrival, a contingency of dogs came to greet us, along with great company. Homemade sushi, “Gumbalaya”, all kinds of shrimp, and a crawfish boil. Steve’s hospitality didn’t stop there. Great people, stories, hiking trails, drinks, you name it. They really took care of us. Now I won’t go into too much detail, but I will say that Nick, Jeremy, and some others took an old VW camper bus to Munich, Germany, while we were there, I woke up missing my jeans not having a clue where they went, lots of dancing and swimming contests, and waking up in places you don’t remember going to. If you want to know the rest of the story, find us and ask us. Sunday consisted of playing the 2nd Annual Spring Fling at the Coast Episcopal School in Long Beach. We played out in the beautiful weather while tons of kids threw plastic eggs filled with confetti at us. If it wasn’t for sunglasses, I would have a nice shiner or two. Thanks to Aubrey and Horton for being there and making fun of certain situations to keep us on our toes. Well afterwards we recharged at Steve’s with a swim and good company and made our way back up to Memphis. We all had a blast and made a huge impact on a lot of people down there. Jeremy Stanfill, Josh, Nick, and I went all out and I am proud of all of us. We took the Bay by storm. There are pictures and video coming soon. Check out the van that the guys took to Munich though. It’s pretty rad. Well we enjoyed ourselves and made new fans down there. We plan on coming back the end of next month so get ready Bay Saint Louis! Until then, stay with us cause we have new recorded material coming soon along with more tour dates. Until then, swirl on everybody! -Geoff
