Hello World
So VL had 2 shows this past weekend. One in Smithfield, PA, next to the Maryland/WV border and the other in our hometown of Pittsburgh at Mr Smalls Theater.
This was the third year in a row we performed at Fright Farm in Smithfield. It is always a good time. It is usually very cold too. This year was an exception. It was extremely cold. I personally couldn't hold onto my guitar pick during the first 3 songs. My hand was numb so it kept falling out and our boy Steve Timko saved me by picking it up and placing it in my hand. The show was fun though and once we kind of warmed up, we were rolling. We took the haunted mansion tour afterwards. J Rom got scared. He pissed his pants. Nah, just kidding. Victory Lane ain't scared of no ghosts.
On the way to the show we were low on gas and thought we would stop at this gas station that is always on the way to the venue. It was closed down. So on the way back, we thought we could make it to the next exit and get gas. We were wrong! As we were driving over a bridge on the interstate, all of a sudden we felt the Champion (our van) start to cough a bit and then lose power and it was done. We ran out of gas! We had to call AAA and wait about an hour as we froze in the van. Some of the guys built a fire alongside the interstate.
Mr. Smalls Theater was a good time. We played with some awesome friends, including Time and Distance who we haven't seen in almost a year. We should be updating you very soon.
One love.
Jimi and the VL's
