"Say goodbye to part of me I miss with a drive-by kiss."

I have found my self listening to a mixture of Dixie Chicks, The Dambuilders and Liz Phair lately. The quote above is from The Dambuilders. I dunno where this has come from, but I have been very accepting of it. It is really relaxing, and mentally stimulating music.
So week one of the tour is over, and we have a day off is Kearney, NE. It's a quiet lil town, and everything is along one street. But my hotel does have a water slide, and that rules.
The band is pretty cool, the crew the same, and the bands we have been playing with are the same. All in all good times. I do feel a lil burnt, but it's nothing I can't handle. Tomorrow starts the string of dates with Puddle of Mudd. Should be good times. I think Wes is an good guy, and the music is pretty good.
Actually the most relaxing part has been the money counts at the end of the night, which I handle with ease. All of the shows so far have been in lil towns in red states. Places I have never been before. Seriously, Harrison, AR. A town of about 15,000. And a dry county on top of that. Really odd. Surprisingly some of the most fun I had on this tour was in Hammond, LA. Which is a really tiny town, but the venue was freakin awesome.
Hardest part of being out here is the downtime spent alone, thinking too much about what isn't here. The friends, the music, the shows, and her. At least one of those will be happening again soon.
