We've done it...we've played 62 shows in 24 states, driven 27,000+ miles (nothing we're proud of given the effects that has on the environment), gotten 7 oil changes, replaced one windshield, and now only have 1,524 miles to drive until we are in our own beds!!
The past couple of weeks...
We went to an Obama rally in Pittsburgh the day before the Pennsylvania primaries...
We stayed in the silos (now converted into a hotel) of the old Quaker Oats factory...
RH played in the shower of a dorm at the University of Akron for some students vlog...
RH was asked to play their song "Gardens and the Graves" for a send-off party for a family that is taking their 4 kids (ages 11, 10, 7 and 5) on a one-year "EdVenture" biking around the world (Europe, West Asia, and North Africa). The family has a podcast and uses "Gardens and the Graves" as their theme song. This families drive to learn and travel was incredible and contagious...to find out more about what they are doing check out: http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif
RH played a house concert at Jana's...
We (Ryan and I) bought our first piece of "real art"!...the photo I've attached is from her website so it's of the whole page, our piece is just of the main painting...If you are interested in her art, you can check out her full site at www.silvialopezchavez.com
There is something that feels so good about buying local art...whether its a painting, a book, a cd, etc...I don't know if it's because we are artists, or if it's a feeling everyone gets.
Ryan and I saw a great documentary called "Blindsight"...a very short summary: it's about a group of children in Tibet that are blind and climb most of Mt. Everest...very good...we recommend it! :)
Our friend Trish Ryan's book came out, and we were able to go to her book celebration! We've read the book already and loved it! It's her memoir of finding faith, love, and happiness...you can read more about her, her book, and her book tour at www.trishryanonline.com
Our last show was in NYC at The Underground Cafe...a church sponsored coffeehouse with live music that takes place one a month in the Tribeca area. It was a GREAT show, filled with fun surprises...like my friend Meredith and Kristy coming! (meredith is a friend from Boston...so to see her in NYC was a BIG surprise!) :) ...thanks Meredith!
I think that's almost everything! Right now we are driving through the mid-west on our way to Tulsa, OK for the night. Then, tomorrow we'll be driving to Albuquerque, NM on Tuesday.
