Well, the mental vacation is over so it's back to work. After literally working for the whole month of August with that long ride around North America and then going some what straight into another tour we took a rest from it all. Now it's time to catch-up. Shawn and I will both agree that the last tour was the easiest one he has ever done. It was a little rejuvenating for both of us in the sense that we both got to do what we got into this business to do- he of course to play music and me to be a sound engineer. We got a break from the business side of it all- the part that makes the art side cringe and run. There's also no physical driving for either of us which is a huge bonus. I get to spend my time with new sound gear each night and Shawn gets to spend time with the audience one on one on a nightly basis. He also gets to spend time on stage with Dar during his set, but also he comes out for her show. It's quite the treat to hear Shawn sing in a back-up vocalist position, he's very good and finding that note that takes a great song over the top. Anyways, I ramble about us- now lets see what you guys are going to be doing in the upcoming weeks. Just in case there's any question, I've outlined it for you here by Date and Location...
