Day 15 – July 30th – The Carpenter’s Cellar – Greenville, SC
Posted By: Aaron
Today was a long day. We woke up early and my ears were killing me. I would later find out that I had developed a double middle and outer ear infections from all of the many varied bodies of water we had been swimming in. We got on the road by 10:00 and stayed on it till 5:30ish when we finally arrived in downtown Greenville. The venue was cool and right in the center of downtown, which is quite nice. It was a small coffee house venue down a dunguneous set of stairs. We find that extended amounts of car travel leaves us very lethargic and in the exact wrong physical condition to “throw-it-down”, as Jesse would say, so a good blood pumping load in down a treacherous flight of stairs is always appreciated. The venue was cozy and everybody was really cool including Mark who runs the joint. We set up in no time and began our usual routine of making new friends, which is always great. We were met at the venue by a close personal friend of ours; Dave Schlarb. If you know Schlarb than you know it was quite the pleasurable time. Right as we took the stage and finished tuning up 6 of my dear friends from Charlotte showed up. Apparently they hadn’t gotten enough when we played Charlotte ten days ago and decided to make the trek of over 2 hours for the concert. It was awesome and so reenergizing for a bunch of road weary travelers who have spent a fortnight less than 6 inches from each other most of the time to once again see more friendly faces. It was a great show and a fun intimate venue. Very few things are better than when the crowd knows the lyrics. I appreciate the help and it really gets us jacked. Afterwards we had to immediately pile everything back into the truck and head for Durham because Travis has to be a work at six in the morning tomorrow. So after another 4 and a half hours of driving and a combined 12 hours total of driving we arrived at Travis’ house close to 2 in the morning.
