Alexandria, Louisiana

After our day in Alexandria, I’ve decided that we don’t make it down to Louisiana near enough. Every time we’re there, it’s awesome. They take such good care of us. Their sense of humor is as quirky and great as their cajun accent. They feed us some of the greatest food. Jambalaya, crawfish, things like that. This time it was gumbo with cajun seasoned crackers and homemade fried chicken. They also took us to Spoons, their local frozen yogurt spot, which although not exactly cajun, was still delicious and again, the folks were friendly.

Pulling in, this sign was the first thing we came across, which is always a good feeling.

The concert was as good as the rest of the day. It helped that we had all afternoon to work out the kinks in soundcheck. One of these days I’ll write a post about soundchecks and how awful they are. They’re the worst. I mean, hate is a strong word, but we hate them. I think every band does. This day in Alexandria though, everything was good. Our amps sounded good. Our monitor mixes were good. We felt like a better band because everything was working right, which in turn enabled us to give more.

Anyway, the day was great. Thanks Alexandria. Two thumbs up
