We finally got the camera working again, so now it's time to fill you in on our adventures since last Friday. . . We played in Lincoln, NE at the Box Awesome with Jodie Loves Hinkley and the Whipkey Three. It was good to finally play in Lincoln on a weekend. Our friend Doug who works at the Box came in on his day off to see us and visit, wrapping up a good two-day stint in Nebraska.
From there we headed north to Spencer, IA to visit our friends at Shaky Tree.We always have fun going to Spencer and this time was no exception. The NW Iowa arts and entertainment paper ran a huge picture of us on the front cover and a big article so we saw quite a few new faces in the Shaky Tree crowd. We kept everybody up late and I guess we wore out the younger members of the audience. . . On Sunday we headed to the Twin Cities for a show at the Acadia with Soap and Seconds Before. We met an awesome guitar player, Lonnie Knight, at the Acadia and got CDs from everybody, so we got a much-needed big infusion in our car-tunes from Twin Cities musicians.

Monday was our last day off of the tour and we spent it adventuring around Minneapolis up to the "Yellow Box" in the brand-new Guthrie Theatre where you can see spectacular views of the city as it would be seen through a really big pair of safety glasses. . .
The night before at the Acadia, we met a great professional photographer, Ingrid Werthmann, who agreed to do a photo shoot. We're super-excited to see the shots; she took a few of me doing haute-couture poses just for fun!
Yesterday we spent our night off playing and partying with our friend Bill Hammond, an excellent acoustic musician we visit every time we're in the cities. Today it's off to Madison, WI!
