It ain't easy, but it'll be all right.

On my way home to catch the bus to Regionals, I stopped by Bloomington (yea, I know it is not on the way at all) to see Sara and catch the Shooter Jennings show at the Bluebird. I hate seeing shows at the Bluebird. The place is set up very poorly for a concert, but they tend to have great shows there. North Mississippi Allstars. Nickel Creek. JJ Grey. Grace Potter. Old Crow Medicine Show. I mean, real quality acts. So anyway, Sara and I are pretty big Shooter fans and this was a must see show. It was also fun to see him in his "element". The last time we saw him it was at Bonnaroo, and the crowd was a lot rougher tonight. Charles Manson look alikes. Meth-heads. Lots of what business people would call diversity. Well, anyway, it was a great show. Lots of fun.

Like I was saying, I'm making my way down to Louisville to catch the bus to Regionals. Well, I guess it's not a bus anymore. We were supposed to getting a tour bus with the co-ed team, for what would have been an epic journey. Something happened with the price though, and we had to switch last minute to vans. This is sure to be a cheaper option, but 11 hours in a van to Tulsa is a lot less comfortable than 11 hours in a bus to Tulsa. Regardless, everyone is excited about Regionals. We're seeded 10. Our goal for the entire season is top 8 in the Region, so that is easily within reach. We get to stay at an Indian casino. I've never been to Oklahoma. Lots of positives.

Song Recommendation - Hair of the Dog by Shooter Jennings

Hair of the Dog. Definitely not his best song. Poor choice my friend.
