Ode to the Road.

The tour started on April 25th in Athens, GA at the 40 Watt with Modern Skirts and Pico vs. Island trees. After the show was over we packed up and left for Salt Lake City, Utah to join up with Rooney and Locksley for the "Calling The World" tour. If I'm not mistaken, this is Rooney's last tour for this album, I'm so happy to be playing it...It's been a while since we've toured and I have to admit the bigger stages I always have to warm up to no matter what. Salt Lake City was interesting...I've never seen rocks look so fake in all my life! I felt like I was driving through a movie set or something. The drive has been long but fortunately, for me, I'm no the one driving! Natalie and Stacey have pretty much dominated the wheel and so I sit to myself in the back reading my heart out. The past few books I've read have all been biographies. I've learned that peoples lives are just as interesting, if not more, than fiction. This gal, Edna St. Vincent Millay, has the most intriguing life. Maybe it's the old setting that makes it dream-like for me, it starts in the late 1800's and follows through to the 1900's. I'm not even half way 

through but I can't put it down. I recommend it a thousand times, especially if you enjoy writing. She's a poet that doesn't get me in so deep that I can't figure out what's being said. I completely follow her words all the way through and the imagery is dainty with a simple touch. I love it and feel like I found a treasure at the Anniston Library, who'd a thought? 

Today is an off day, I'm writing this with Isaaca asleep beside me, Tyler and Jeremy on the floor, and Stacey and Natalie in the other bed. We're in Boulder, CO which I have to say officially has my heart. I could definitely live here, but then again, the South is home. Just a thought. The original plan, made at 3:30AM this morning, was to caravan with Rooney and Locksley. The only problem is everyone is beat in our group and wants to sleep in. I had to text Robert and turn down the fun. Oh well, we've got a whole summer to caravan! We might meet up with The New Frontiers and have lunch in Denver today instead which is probably a little more practical according to our schedule. As for now, I'm off to take a cat nap! Google Edna St. Vincent Millay and read Renascence, one of her most famous poems. Read it and again and again. It grows and grows on you :)
