Thursday, October 13thWe headed up to a place called Doc Taylor's in Virginia Beach. This is a funny little place, since it is only open on Thursday nights! But it works out great because all the locals know that they will have quality music and come out no matter who is playing. The show was good, and since this is the Richmond/Va Beach area, you know that we'll be hooking up with our good friends Jackass Flats. Cory Potrafka came and played some harp with us. Always a treat!
After the show a guy comes up and starts chatting with us and then asks if we have anywhere to stay yet. His name is Trevor DeGroat and he offers some space in his house that is just one block from the ocean, so we excitedly accept. I knew something was very familiar about this guy, and as soon as I took this picture when we stopped to get pizza after the show it hit me. He's practically a spitting image of my best friend JonJon Davis from Boone NC, who I've played with in Boss Hawg (click to hear us) for over a decade. And anyone who knows Jon Jon will see it right away in this picture, and not only that, they act alike too, jumping around and saying funny things. It's amazing!
Friday, October 14thThe next morning I got up early (big surprise there) and walked down the beach to find some coffee and discovered that the town of Va Beach - which, like everyone else, is broke - has decided that they are going to capitalize on the most famous television show ever, Baywatch, and raise and export mini Pamela Andersons and David Hasselhoffs! I think this is a fantastic idea and I hope that it works well for them. I could also foresee a fancy flip-flop and fan farm that would be financially feasible for the future farmers.
Mid-day we headed to Richmond for our next gig and stopped by Travis Reinhart's house for a little downtime. And this is where the magic happened. Thank goodness I was able to catch it on my camera! I don't think I've ever seen Dan and Joey happier than right here singing their favorite songs in the whole entire world.
Whew! That was a doozy huh?!
Friday night we played the Cary Street Cafe, which holds a special place for both The Wookie and me (one of the few things we agree on!) as it is based around the music of the Grateful Dead.
We headed back to Virginia Beach to play a wedding for two special people. You know a wedding is going to be fun when the couple's first dance song is a Bob Marley tune! Let me introduce you to this week's BDL Fans of the Week, the newly-married Brad and Becca Ellis.
Sunday Oct 16th
BDL video fund-raiser party.
This was a really great party put together by our very own Tori Steinberg, Jenny Viars, and Claudia Kelly, so we can shoot a real-deal music video! The amount of work they put into this party is just amazing and we can't thank them enough. Jenny has a few photo albums that you can view here.
BDL and our side-project Breakin' Jimmy's Martin played some fun acoustic sets throughout the day.
