Day Seven – July 22nd – The 7 Venue – Douglasville, GA

Posted By: Jeremiah

I am getting quite lucky, every day I get to write about just happens to be an awesome day, and I can honestly say that I use the word awesome in the truest sense of the word. We got to sleep in a bit this morning which was really nice and greatly appreciated. We then headed out with OFH to meet up with Emerson and make the trek to The 7 Venue. On the drive there it began storming, which was a bit nerve racking because we couldn’t see the trailer in front of us until we were right up on it, but we made it through. After we made it through that, we got caught two traffic jams, one caused by a tractor trailer flipping, throwing boxes of plastic cups all over the road and median, but fear not, I believe the driver was okay, at least physically, I am sure he was pretty upset emotionally. After that, we got stuck in one of those really annoying traffic jams where you get stuck in it forever then randomly, for no reason, the traffic just disappears. However, during the traffic, we got our first awesome experience of the day, it was a lightning storm directly in front of us, we were able to see many bolts, very exciting. We then got to the venue, it was truly a great venue. We highly recommend it to all bands as well as all fans of bands. Please, go, no seriously, go, now, to The 7 Venue. The show was great, amazing bands, definitely check out an awesome band from the Farrow Islands called Braquet (www.myspace.com/braquet) they were very good and if you get a chance to support them while they are in the states, please go do that. When we were playing, we were all having a blast and flipping out, and when I got a little too into it, I ran a little too close to the edge of the stage, and crossed that thin little line between being a rock star and a complete fool by falling off the stage into a drumset, but all is well, we were able to finish the song and the set without any major diffic ulties. Tonight, a friend of OFH, Amanda is letting us stay at her house, and a nice house it is. She has been a great hostess, thank you Amanda. Alright, time for another day, the next two days are off nights, so who knows what we will get ourselves into, but either way, I know it will be good times. I love you all, come say hey to us at our next show, we appreciate it. Have a lovely day.
