6/2/24 Columbus, Georgia

4:24am

Wrapped up a weekend on the road; The return to Montgomery with Opelika, AL and Columbus, GA tacked on. Montgomery is comforting. It feels slower and quiet, something I need. Opelika was surprisingly pretty. A vibrant bricktown with western saloon style rooftops. Columbus was a former water mill town and it shows in its architecture. One city on the railroad and another on the river. I got to see the Chattahoochie. I know so many people that will never see the things I get to doing this.

I’ve learned to consider time zones a factor when planning for shows. The central to eastern border lies between Alabama and Georgia. I’ve never had to work a time zone from the road. An odd accolade. One of my besfriends’ mom showed up to the show in Columbus. I haven’t see her in maybe 5 years. I sold my first merch - it was a Hootie and the Blowfish CD that I was getting rid of at home. Signed it and made $20 off it. Tonight I’m sharing the couch an autistic chihuahua. Tomorrow I get to sleep in bed with my girlfriend. What a life.
