The Trip

The Trip

He was hungry, dirty, and tired. Exhausted from the drive and lack of showering, and sleep, Levi was home. The trip had been long and arduous, to Florida and and back on a three week four day tour of the country. Levi along went with a group of friends on their band tour. The band was named Search the city and this was their first major tour. This was supposed to get their names out into the world and hopefully get some recognition for their unique blend of music. So to put this into perspective we'll start from the beginning.

Arriving at Spooney (bassist) and Adam's (drummer)apartment early on the day of departure Levi, Andy (guitarist), Josh (vocals), And Jim( second guitarist) all started packing the trailer. It as an adventure to say the very least. Cramming, pushing, and pulling everything into place that they'll need for nearly a month on the road. By the end of it all the trailer looked more like a losing tetris game then the wagon carrying all their supplies and equipment. It was such a feat that they needed to take pictures in order to know how everything fit back into place for every time they unpacked. With the packing finally out of the way the journey could finally begin.

Out into to I-75 south and they were under way to the first of many destinations. A few hours later they were there, an old puppet house that looked like a building Alfred Hitchcock would have described in any of his works. This venue was at the southern tip of Ohio so the setting was very alien to all the guys so no one was quite sure what to expect. When they entered their trepidation and doubt were quelled when the manager greeted them warmly and told them where to set up. With the formallites out of the way they set up and got ready to play. The show itself was exceptional the crowd was insatiable and emotions ran high through all the guys. The first show was a success, now they could relax and enjoy the other acts.

While at the puppet house Levi met and interesting man who introduced himself as Mark. They came to find out that Mark lived in Kentucky a mere twenty miles from the show and offered them a place to stay for the night. Which was severely convenient seeing how their original plan was to sleep in the van that night and a home seemed a lot more comfortable to them. So they decided to accept his proposal
