Bands Battling

Lessons learned:

1. Hagerstown is frickin' far away!


2. Verizon phone service does not work in the town of Hagerstown, which renders the GPS assistance from VZNavigator totally useless.


3. Hagerstown is hot as s**t! (and I mean literally hot...sweat causing my dollars not to work in the Coke machine hot. ew.)


4. We like air conditioning (a lot)


5. We really enjoyed talking to Blue Sky Traffic who were backing The Pham who, as a group, were totally awesome performers.


6. We also enjoyed the musical stylings of Dimestore Profit whose drummer Pat should, without a doubt, beg borrow and steal enough to get a set of DW's...and who frickin' thrilled me to pieces with their cover of a Darkness song.


7. Apparently Chad Taylor's dad attends musical events in Hagerstown with his other son's band and is incredibly nice...and helped me load my drums on the stage- which is totally awesome!


8. Apparently gays like Niel Diamond (or so we heard in an alley-way discussion we wished we'd missed)


9. We don't know anybody in Hagerstown.

Also - whenever anyone tells you to show up somewhere at 9am, you know, invariably, that you're gonna have to Hurry Up & WAIT!...but wait, we already learned that lesson!

Here's us waiting...



And waiting some more...



..and well, you get the idea. Oh..one last thought - Hagerstown has the most swank McDonald's the world has ever known...complete with several flat-screen TV's, wi-fi, and a glass waterfall fixture. Now OGO takes a little tiny vacation while various OGO's venture out of town. We'll be back end of August with some not-to-be-missed shows!
