CROSS-COUNTRY TOUR

HEY Y'ALL!!

So, I just got back from a serious 2 week Cross-Country ROAD TRIP/TOUR with the girls.  IT WAS AWESOME!

FIRST STOP: COLTON, NEW YORK

font: 13.0px Chalkboard;">We played a big bash right on this gorgeous lake 'til 2 am. I also went with Dominique to get a free teeth cleaning early in the am the day of the show.  I was flashing my pearly whites EVERY chance I could get.  My cheeks were aching by the end of the night.

Gabby turned 18 at midnight so we celebrated by getting serious sugar rushes with the gold M&M's we'd requested (we didn't think they'd actually fill our rooms with them!)

2nd stop: TORONTO, CANADA

Toronto totally rocked, we played at THE SUPERMARKET, which is a really cool venue/restaurant that was featuring some killer artwork. The "HEY TOOTS!" series by Bernice Lum + works by Alex Arnott was totally up my alley. I kinda think it looks like me as a cartoon. :-)

We celebrated Gabby's Birthday with our friends that live in Toronto w/sushi, drinks and cake. Gabby got a trip to Japan for her birthday (I got her hot pink luggage so she could travel in style).

3rd Stop: CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

We pulled into Chicago and camped out at a Starbucks to get online a bit. Gabby and I went shopping together and I got some really cute red heels and a black dress for our show that night.

We showed up at the gig about an hour early and immediately ordered some "Chicago Style" pizza pies to eat after the show. We met a super cute couple(massage therapist and artist) that had a gallery next door. After our show they hosted us for some beers and pizza in the gallery. It was pretty cool.

4th Stop: DENVER, COLORADO

When we got to Denver we played the show, took some cool sunset photos and then went for some asian fusion cuisine at P.F.Changs for dinner before we took off for Sweet, ID

5th Stop:  SWEET, IDAHO

When we got to Sweet, Idaho we stayed with the former Sheriff(Mark) & his wife(Krista) and an ex-military veteran(Gary) and his wife(Cindy).

Both couples have a huge ranch with cattle & horses.

For 5 days we went non-stop with the modern day cowboys and cowgirls.

They took us riding, we went 4-wheeling in the canyons, white-water rafting, hiking(plus we each shot a shotgun for the first time up in the canyon mid-hike) and then we played a big show for the town the last day of our stay.

We had so much fun and the scenery was breathtaking.

After 2 weeks away from NYC, I was missing it like crazy.

It was a great trip, but I'm so glad to be back!
