Blue Bell kept us safe again last nigt in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Mount Pleasant. This is starting to become our routine now: pull into the parking lot, go in and buy whatever essentials we need for the night, then wait for the other RV's to pull in. It makes us feel a little more safe. It's a strength in numbers kind of thing, and the RV's are usually bigger than Blue Bell, so it's like the older brother pulled into the neigborhood to keep the bullies away. It's strange, we rarely ever see the people driving them, but we still feel a real camaraderie with the folks inside. They're almost always gone by the time wake up in the morning. We never get a chance to thank them, not that we would anyway.

We headed over to our favorite Starbucks in the area to do some booking; however, Nikki was still feeling under the weather so she mostly slept in the van. We had a gig at Morgan Creek Grill in the evening so we headed over around 4'ish to take advantage of the free meal they were throwing our way. We managed to push through a 4-hour gig with Nikki's throat just barely staying intact by the time we were done. They let us park the van in the restaurant parking lot overnight to sleep....got a five-hour drive tomorrow morning.

Troubadours

After spending all day at a local Starbucks booking shows for April, we headed over to Mount Pleasant, SC for an early gig at Troubadours Coffee House. It was another small, but attentive, crowd, and the owner, Jeff, was as nice as they come. After the show he made us two big bowls of Italian wedding soup and croissant sandwiches, then sent us off with a bag of cakes and cookies! Free food is always a good thing on the road, and it's always much appreciated. We then headed out to find a Wal-Mart parking lot for the night.

Horizon Records #SC

Did a quick gig at Horizon Records in Greenville, SC on Monday. We were coming from Brevard, so we made a quick stop at Ceasar's head to catch the sunset.

After hanging for most of the day at the camp site, we made our way back into Georgetown for the gig. It was a small bar, but had a very attentive crowd...something that's not usual for this type off joint.

Down the street there was line dancing at a club called Castaway's...

Had the day off and decided to drive up to Huntington Beach State Park and camp for the night. Camping in the off season is the way to go!

A beautiful beach, red beans and rice and red wine...
