Show Journal 1998-10-04
Day 10 – Back to reality again. More driving, more MRE’s. The drive today was particularly dull. Nashville turned out to be a kinda weird town. It seemed much different than we anticipated. It was kind of like a ghost town in some respects and a lot dirtier too. We did get to see the Grand Old Opry and Museum which was pretty cool. The show tonight was in record store. There were 3 other bands all of which were pretty darn good. A lot of people came out to the show tonight which was a real surprise. We had heard stories about how dead it was in Nashville and they ended up having the best all ages crowd I’ve seen in a long time. A bunch of people left when we played because it was bloody hot, but even the people who sat outside said we sounded pretty good and bought some stuff. The ones who stayed inside seemed to have a ball. We’ve gotten so used to playing in bars where people just stand still and slowly bob their heads that it was cool to see kids going off to our music. Afterwards we drove on to Memphis and camped out beside Graceland. At one point along the way we got to sign autographs in a truck stop. After a week of good health I’m starting to get sick.
