take me home, country roads

So KG played their first out of state show yesterday… in West Virginia! haha.. Oh man, I wish I could’ve taken pictures of all the funny things I saw, but I had to drive/didn’t have my camera ready. I saw no less than THREE tractor crossing signs. One would’ve been enough to make me laugh for the day, but I saw them again and again (like cats?)! =D I also saw a garage nicely decorated with 3 antelope skulls. tehehe..

Anyway, the town we played in was actually really nice. It was near Harpers Ferry so it was all historic and cute like old Ellicott City or even New Market. However, we were quickly reminded we were in West Virginia when the pizza place had “Big Buck Hunter” as one of their arcade games. It’s okay though, becuase the other game was the old school mortal combat style X-Men game and it was only a quarter! Woo hoo!

The show was a blast, we had a lot of fun. We got a great response from the crowd and got 15 new emails for our mailing list. That’s really good for a fairly small show. It was at an old train station, turned into a community hall. The train ran right behind it, and we put pennies on the track so they’d get squished, but a train didn’t come all evening.. but then! Right before we left I saw the train gates start blinking and we all ran over to it! It took us a while but we found the pennies, and IT WAS THE COOLEST THING EVER. haha.. I’m so easily amused.. and such a loser.. I tried to take a picture of the pennies but I can’t figure out how to get a good one without a glare becuase I suck. =D
