Thursday night was a great time in Grand Rapids, MI at Founder's Brewery. The room is a huge beerhall style and, lucky for us, lots of festive beer-drinkers were there enjoying themselves.
We played with our pals the Total Blam Blams -- in fact, it was dubbed the StereoBlam battle, complete with a red dinosaur flyer. Amazing. And fun.Friday we drove south into Northern Indiana to play at the Beanery in Mishawaka. Since we were there last spring, they have literally raised the roof, making it a much better acoustical space and so we were able to rock out with all of our gear. Much fun! (Special bonus: they spelled our name right on their little window-scrolling marquee.)
We caught up with some college friends and spent the evening post-show visiting. The next afternoon we visited some more, driving up to Zeke's to visit over one of the area's finest bottle selections. . .Last night we drove back north a bit to Kalamazoo to play at Papa Pete's with Dooley Noted. They also (mostly) spelled our name correctly on their marquee, although the "stereo fid-three-lics" is probably even more difficult to remember. . . It is raining and chilly; we've come to the conclusion that the Midwest (particularly the northern part) hasn't gotten the memo that it is April and clearly spring rules have been in effect for a few weeks now. . . As we drive south we are, yet again, trying to outrun a snowstorm. But, we're heading south!
