May 14 at Luna in Lake Charles

Again, the story of the day seems to be PLUMP was running a bit late on a Friday night. In our defense, there was this huge rainstorm that blew in around 6:20 pm into Houston. Jody could barely see while he was driving. We stopped for gas at the station by my house, and the power was out. About 10 miles outside of Houston, we saw a car that was on it's side. It had apparently skidded into that fashion about 30 seconds before we came upon it, because we could see about 4 cars had stopped and about 5 people were running to the car to give the passengers a hand. Luckily, we got through the storm, and it did not rain in Lake Charles during our show.

We pulled in and were very pleased to enjoy the case of Miller High Life tallboys that are usually awaiting our arrival at Luna. Lovely. We played an hour and a hald set that was pretty darn good. Nothing truly notable, other than we are real excited about playing the new songs, which is pretty much the case every show. Right now I think the band favorites are Guzzle it Down, Loose/Tight, Reggae #2, and the Sixer.

We hit the thunderstorm again about 20 miles outside of Lake Charles. We had to stop for a bit because it was raining so hard. Apparently, this was one of the tougher drives for Iron Man Jody, who is usually indimitable at the wheel during the late night drives back. Even he was having it tough.
