Also, tonight was our last night in Kansas City. I'm going to miss this city, I really like it a lot and it's a very pleasant place to be. I'm not going to miss these allergies, and I'm really hoping they all clear up by the time we get to Grand Rapids, Michigan.
This past weekend we had a lot of people fill the audience. It was really amazing to look out and see so many people watching, and it makes me excited for when we get to play really big cities in the year ahead. This is a picture of our crowd from Saturday afternoon:
After tonight's show I went out and got dinner at a place called Gordon Biersch:
I got one of their home-brewed beers, which was quite good, and a New York steak sandwich with their signature garlic fries. The sandwich had fried onion strings, garlic aioli, and spinach on a baguette, and looked like this:
It's kind of hard to see but I think you can get a sense of how delicious it was :) Definitely a great last meal to end my time in KC.
So Matt the keyboard player I'm replacing leaves today, which means I get his room after they clean it in a day or two (hurray!). I realized though that I never really talked about the "fun" quirks of my current room. Here they are:
-Since there is about, oh let's say, a foot between the bed and the counter next to it which stores the fridge under it, the door to the fridge does not open all the way.
-The cabinet between the door to my room and my bed contains drawers. However, when the door is shut, the cabinet door cannot open completely, therefore the drawers cannot open completely. So in order to use the drawers, you need to open the door to the room before you can open the door to the cabinet.
-The water for the sink is backwards. Meaning that the left side turns on cold water, and the right side hot water. However, they are labeled correctly, with the left side saying "hot" and the right side saying "cold". You can imagine my puzzlement the first couple of days here.
-The cushion of the bed sticks out not quite far enough to block the door, but just far enough that the door scrapes across it and catches the blanket which gets in the way of opening the door.
Gee, I'm going to miss this room.
On a side note, Vaseline is absolutely amazing! I bought it for my nose since it became so red and chapped from using so many tissues, and literally within, I'd say, hours of applying it, my nose was ten times better. By the end of the day my nose hurt no more, and the redness was almost gone. I also had a cut on my top lip since it had gotten chapped as well. Slapped on some of that Vaseline...BAM! Gone. I don't know what it is about it, but Tyra was right, the stuff is genius.
Anyway time for bed, gotta get ready for two days on a train!
P.S. I love Anastasia, and I really like Ahrens and Flaherty :)
