The Infamous Word

Easy Chief

Falco’s got a band with his brothers and his cousin.  It’s called Easy Chief.  When anyone takes it too seriously they get a “whoa, easy chief.”  This is our easy chief period.  We’ve been taking it seriously, as we should, but now is our time to collectively give each other a massive “easy chief.”  That is to say, it’s time to chill.  Next year is going to seriously kick ass.  Ambitious Tours.  A New Record.  The Festy.  Stay tuned.

Airports

You meet some great people in airports. Thanks for reminding me, Gus.

We’ve had a week like none other. Shows, parties, dental work, injuries, van problems, late arrivals, dark beer, photo shoots, work on Things That Fly…

More complete narrative will follow.

3 Nights With Railroad Earth

All this week we’re doing free tickets for our Twitter followers.

Gray

Nothing more gray than the first days of December in Tennessee. Days like this make it hard to get out of bed. Nice thing about it is that the transition to early darkness is almost welcome after a full day of absolute blah-ness. By January we’ll be used to it but the memories of fall burn too bright this first week of December. I can never decide if I’d rather be at home or on the road this time of year. I remember these days in Colorado, glued to the weather report, praying for snow. Early December is a weather purgatory. At least we’re in the Blueridge Mountains; I can pick up a copy of Blueridge Outdoors tomorrow. We’ve got the day off in Johnson City on Saturday, if someone wants to rescue me and take me hiking or to the Mud Sweat and Gears Cyclocross race in Bristol it’d be appreciated.

December

First day of December.  Gray, foggy skies down here by the Cumberland River.  I know there’s some blue up there somewhere.  The Band is headed to East Tennessee, Western and Central Virginia, D.C., Philly, and Brooklyn this week.  I guess the Nor’Easter just keeps coming.

We’re sharing the bill with Railroad Earth the 10th-12th in D.C., Brooklyn, and Philly.  We anticipate interesting happenings.  More to come.
