Tonight, we piled into vehicles and headed down to La Crosse, Wisconsin. This was our first show we have played across the Wisconsin border in cheese-head territory. It was totally all right. Everyone was super nice and super cool and we felt totally welcome. Howie's even put our name on the marquee. It was all good.
Howie's is a pretty cool place. It's split into two sections - bar and music venue - and it's surprisingly well sound proofed between the two. The stage area is sizeable and the decor is nice. It's got a sort of wooden, wilderness lodge motif.
I got there early and my wife and I went to dinner with Greg and Mandy Parmeter, some college friends who currently live in La Crosse. We went to a Mexican restaurant just a couple blocks away and it was tasty.
The show started off with the solo acoustic stylings of Nicholas Bjerke, followed by our friends My Lady Four, who will be kicking off their national tour in just about a week or so. Then it was us. We do what we can.
It was a decent road show, I think. It wasn't too heavily attended, but there were enough people there to make it fun. Greg and Mandy brought some friends from the community theater world. And there were just folks there wanting to hear live music. Who are we to argue. It was energetic and it was fun. Hopefully we made a good impression. I wouldn't mind going back.
