Today, the Bank crew is in Kansas City, KS. It's another ampitheatershow which is good because it usually means real showers, betterlayouts and our guys in Alesana get to play inside the mainstage.Today is also the first day we've has to deal with real amounts of rain so it wil be interesting to see how that plays out...
Aside from the rain though, KC has been completely normal compared to the past couple of days we've had. To start, the drive to Salt Lake City from New Mexico was 16 hours long and we had to do it during the day. All 16 of us crowded into the front lounge and sat through Lethal Weapon 1, Just Friends, and Van Wilder...and after all that we still had three hours to go! By the time we arrived in the city we had time to hit up a Macaroni Grill (where the waitress got starstruck and messed up eveyone's orders) and head back to the bus for bed.
The SLC show went well, especially as the weather was much more agreeable in Utah than New Mexico. The coolest part about the venuewas that it was surrounded by gigantic snow-capped mountains. Eventhough we wre just in a parking lot, the view made us feel like wewere in some remote, majestic landscape.
From SLC we hit up Denver, CO for one of our fun shows to date. The venue was awesome! Everything was set up directly in front of Mile High Stadium! There was lots of grass, shade, and room to move around. A bunch of people had heard of us there, so it was nice to feel a bit of familiarity in a place we had never been before. We had the help of some friends we met on tour last week (Nathan and Alaska of the Texasband Tonight is Glory) and a street teamer named Jono. They passed outstickers, flirted shamelessly and were excellent salesmen. We hope to see them again on the tour!
XOXO BANK!
