Victoria, KS. Herzogfest August 8th 2009

Hi everyone! I’m writing to you from Victoria, KS. Home of the Herzogfest! We just pulled in less than an hour ago and are getting ready to go do sound check. We left last night around midnight, and slept through the night. As we got into Kansas, it started to get really windy! The poor bus driver had quite a battle trying to keep the bus steady. It’s going to be a hot sound check, it’s over 100 degrees right now, but our show will not be until tonight and things will be cooling off by then. Wow, it is windy out there right now though! We’ll be drinking a lot of water today and hanging out in the shade!

Hi! We’re on our way home from our show in Victoria, KS.

Last night rocked! We had a really good show and one heck of a crowd. We had some really nice company show up., Trenna’s dad “Delbert” and a sweet sister who used to tour with us and play kick butt drums, “Bree Plaster.” We all hung out on the bus and caught up on stuff. It was so nice to see Bree and Trennas dad.

The organizers of the festival were so sweet and accommodating. They treated us to lunch, and made sure that we had plenty of snacks, water etc. for the day. There was a bunch of really sweet high school/junior high gentleman that helped Eric out with gear, set up etc.

The wind died down along with the temperatures by show time and the evening gave way to clear skies and a beautiful full moon.

We had so much fun during our show and made a point to go out into the crowd and fiddle away a little.

Afterwards we got to meet everyone, sign CDs, pictures and festival shirts. Trenna even did some “fancy artwork” on a blushing high school gentleman’s chest!

We bussed out around midnight last night and we’re still bussing it home. Trenna just told me that this is “Kenny Rogers” bus. Pretty cool!

Another successful trip, we met some really nice folks and got to hang out with some friends and family. Thank you Herzogfest!
