Figured I would take a few minutes to update while we're getting ready to leave. Yesterday was great! We woke up, made plans to head over to do the FYE signing, but unfortunately it was cancelled due to lack of attendance. But that freed up our afternoon, so the staff and the band headed down to the hotel bar and shot some pool for awhile. We also got Lou a cake, and gave him a small surprise birthday party while we were hanging out. Finally, we loaded up into the van and headed off to soundcheck.
The Odeon was a very nice venue, so the band did their thing, then we all went up the street to a restaurant for dinner. Some people headed back to the hotel, but I stuck around because I wanted to make sure I saw Disown.
After helping set up the merch table, the show finally got started, and number two band was my boys, Disown. With the help of my all access PSP tag, I was up in front snapping pics. (a few of them came out pretty well - they'll be on RAM in a day or two). Disown was fucking tight - they are such great musicians! I hope they can come down and play closer to me some day. I talked to Jae after their set (he's such a cutie) and mention something about him trying to hook up a few shows with 51 Peg again. That would be a great mini-tour. So we'll see.
Finally, Orgy was up, so I made my way up with Matt, one of the other awesome interns, and we settled in to the baricade. Ran into the photographer I met at Cleveland last year, so me and him talked for awhile, which was awesome. Finally, the show started and it was amazing, as always. Got a few pics I think Lou might actually like this time, lol, so we'll see how it goes.
The band did a signing afterwards, and by that point, I was ready to head to sleep. But it was a great day, and now we're finishing up the last of our packing and getting ready to head home. Should be back in Blacksburg around 8. :-)
