North Carolina

This is Margaret writing from (my sister) Mary Beth's house in Durham, North Carolina. Last night in Charlottesville was really fun. We got to see two great bands - Suzukiton and Kylesa just off their tour with Mastodon.

The drive through the Appalachians to Virginia was beautiful, and we found a gas station with an old greyhound from 1933 at a stop off the highway.

Our show was at Outback Lodge. Afterwards I convinced the guys to stay in a hotel. It was our first hotel stay of the tour. I was getting a cold and feeling weak and exhausted. In the morning we saw Kylesa walk in to the Waffle House where we were eating multiple helpings of covered hash browns. I guess Spencer is right about the reputation of that place being some type of touring band heaven.

We play with the great Colossus tonight at the Reservoir, and a band called Gollum that we haven't seen yet. Should be fun.
