Cicada Omega - Bug Blog

Carolina Hills.
Knoxville, the Preservation Pub is located in a foot mall. They treated us well, we made a few friends. But not a huge turn-out. Dave’s lookin’ good. Still healthy.

The bridge in Charleston.

Charleston South Carolina, Fiery Ron’s Home Team Barbecue. If you have been there you already know. If you haven’t, get up and go. Amazing food. We ate way, way, way too much for our own good. Added our sticker to the bench.

Got to play live on the radio. Then they played a track of ours, “Last Night,” right between the Raccontours and My Morning Jacket. Weird, but awesome.

We had plenty of time to enjoy the cuisine. (The collards, creamy grits, brisket, a half rack of ribs, and chicken, oh yeah, and a really good Hef beer.) It POURED while we were there. The streets were deep and the power went out. It really cooled things off and the bugs loved it. A slightly different kind of cicada down here.

We played really well. T-Mack, the “Talent Buyer” but he is the manager and sound person, and he and the rest of the staff really hooked us up. The sound was great. These people don’t mess around. They gave me a hat. “Hey Dan, my black shorts look red!”
Salim has strep throat. (I know what you’re thinking, we all stopped and stocked up on vitamin C, and hand sanitizer.) Anyway the doc says it’s not airborne. They gave Salim a big shot in the butt. He is feeling a little better now, Should be a few more days.

The trip to Savannah is short from Charleston. So we took a smaller road for a while. Barry and I couldn’t pass up a thrift store. Georgia is beautiful of course.

Last night we played The Jinx in Savannah. It is an equal mix of Dante’s and the Tonic Lounge, and then spiced with a tiny bit of the Laurelthirst. Probably the most familiar setting we have been in. Big stage, too. We went over really well, made more money than we expected were treated great. Slept well in a hotel room. (Thanks Dave.) Showers all around. Dave is snoring less these days. Right now we are on our way to Asheville. Bellies full of chicken salad, and roast beef sandwhiches and water, water, water. Johnny Cash on the stereo. Nap time.
