Craig Finn Tour: Day Ten


We had a long ass drive from Richmond, IN. Nothing too exciting. Went straight to Pappy's BBQ in St. Louis. Some of the best ribs I've ever eaten. Moist and tender but not cooked too long. Just right. Dry rub too, not drenched in sauce. And sweet tea. Yeah!
Got to Off Broadway, loaded in, soundchecked, sat around. We had a terrific show. I played some new lines on "Apollo Bay" and "Jackson." Shucked one in the last song but the chances I took during the night more than make up for one trespass. CF and Some Guns were hot, boozy, spontaneous, and loosie-goosie. We put "Once You Roll Over" second in the set ("freaks up front") and it's arrangement is becoming a bit more realized. Frederick rolled in at the end of the night. What a dude, ya know? Thanks to Steve and everyone at Off Broadway for a hell of a night. Went back and crushed brews at the hotel. Good times.
