Des Moines...first stop

Tuesday started at 8:30am. No one slept well as we were all kept up thinking about leaving home for the next few months. We rolled up with the RV to pick up Robo at his place and headed down to Iowa at around 10am.



We drove out to Des Moines from Minneapolis which is an exhilarating drive (sarcasm)...but the ACTUALLY exciting part is that it was super nice out when we got there...by nice we mean around 36 degrees....but still nicer than its been in Minnesota lately. Allen was enjoying the warm weather by rocking some shades.



The show was awesome tonight...sold out crowd at the House of Bricks and it was our first time seeing the other bands on the bill. Saving Abel are a bunch of southern rockers from Mississippi...their guitarist Scott almost broke my fingers giving me a hand pound with his crazy metal rings on. Sick Puppies are a bunch of kids from Australia who play rock tunes and drive the crowd to frenzy.

We ended the night with a ceremonial Karaoke sing along with Sick Puppies to the music of Queen...god bless Bohemian Rhapsody for bringing people together! Hahaha.



Special shout outs to our new friends Bryan and Dani who stood out with me in the freezing cold while I sold CDs. Also our friends Tyler, Shelly, and Jay!
