Blog: Love and Hate Tour 2008 #2

Hey [:

The final 2008 Tour blog.. new pictures and a ton of video including "Freak" taken at the open jam featuring 934034 guests on stage.

(Underwhelmed at Allentown, WI)

August 14th, we played Illusions in Green Bay, WI. Cool little place and nice turn out
We played a few sets.. Including covers such as “Folsom Prison Blues” and “Rebel Yell”.

One of the cool things about being on tour is all of the different types of venues/clubs we get to play. The biggie came August 15th at the Allentown Fireman's Picnic.

Playing alongside Fahrenheit 420 and a huge crowd, this show was the highlight of the tour. In what has become a Wisconsin tradition...  Johnny hopped on stage for “Something in Myself” and Chris joined F420 on stage for “Violet”

On August 22nd and the 23rd we headed to South Barrington, IL to play Penny Road Pub. Last tour Penny Road’s was one of the cooler venues we played at, so we were pretty excited to be heading out there. We had a really good turn out and saw some new and familiar faces...

The final show of the tour was in Allentown, PA at Crocodile Rocks Cafe on August 30th.. It was pretty cool to play on the same stage that bands such as Lifehouse and The Audition played on only a few weeks prior. Great way to end the tour.

So another fun tour…. of course we have to thank the following people for their hospitality and craziness which contributed to making this tour a success:

John our personal sound guy, Scott and Family thanks for the cookout, Kent for letting us crash at his house, Kathy and friends for coming out to all the shows,  JD for making us raging alcoholics and Frizz for surprising the band by coming all the way out to WI and giving us yet another handful of stories to tell everyone.
