On the Road Again...

Happy 2008 to all! We hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season complete with a fantastic New Year. We once again found ourselves traveling like crazy around the new year. We began with a gig in Colorado Springs, CO which we drove all of our equipment to (over 20 hours). We had a fantastic performance for USAA insurance. We managed to involve all 800 guests. The CEO told us it was their most successful holiday party to date. While in Colorado Springs, we visited the amazing Garden of the Gods (see pictures). It was freezing, literally, there so we made it a very quick visit!

We then flew back home from Denver to enjoy the holidays with family. Right after Christmas we flew back to Denver to continue our travels. Our next gig was in Houston, so the plan was to drive Denver to Houston with an overnight stop in Oklahoma City. Unfortunately, we ran smack dab into a snow storm and ended up having to drive 40 mph for 8 of the scariest hours we've ever experienced on the road. However, we made it safe and sound to McPherson, Kansas. The next day the plows had cleared the roads and we continued our trip to Houston. Houston was great. We saw a couple dear friends of ours and stayed in one of the sweetest hotels ever (www.hotelzaza.com). After Houston, we enjoyed a short 9 hour drive to Odessa, TX. It was our 2nd year performing for their New Year's Eve gala. We had a blast! It was a great time again and a wonderful way to ring in the new year. We then loaded up all of our equipment and left for our 36 hour drive to Seattle. Yes, 36 hours. We took turns sleeping in the car (thanks to our very comfortable Red Sox blanket), listened to Loveline, ate lots of chex mix and beef jerky, and sang along with the easy listening stations.

Happy New Year!
