Despite some rain on the way to Baton Rouge, we arrived intact. Chelsea's didn't disappoint - the soup was awesome; the crew was super friendly; and - as always - Righteous Buddha was terrific. On top of being fantastic musicians, John, Chris, and Dave are about the friendliest group around. They were kind enough to share their gear and break up the show into four sets so we got to play for the later crowd. If you haven't already, be sure to check them out on jamhouston.com.

We owe Dave an apology, though. He used some of Patrick's pedals and I fear we were egging him down the path of the dark side . We're just doing our part to spread "some crazy music". Is that wrong?

Today we're making the relatively short jog to New Orleans. We're looking forward to playing for the folks at Borders Books and introducing a wayward yankee to the Big Easy.
