The green of East Texas gives way to the massive urban sprawl of Dallas. And then, as the frontage roads filled with chain stores and gas stations fade away, the world seems to open up. There is no place I've ever been that seems so vast and beautiful. No matter how many times we've driven through it, the easy banter always gives way to a profound quiet, each of us in our own world under the epic sky. Between the storms of yesterday and the landscape today, we are constantly reminded how small we are compared to nature – and how in the face of that we struggle and strive to somehow create something larger than ourselves.
The joy of having low expectations:
-finding out that what you thought was the stage is actually not…and that there's a nice backroom with a good stage/system/lights.
-finding out that the local opener is actually really good.
-playing with the band Warpaint…who are fantastic.
-having a great show of our own, despite having never been to Lubbock before.
