Pacific Northwest Tour, Half ass review and pictures

[Revlongoo]

As most of you know I was at all of the shows, with the exception of the opening night in Eugene, OR. I have acquired a newfound respect for any band that tours. Life on the road is not nearly as easy as one might expect. Besides coming home with several wonderful new friends and memories to last a lifetime, I also have pneumonia.......my real job is loving me right now.

I will warn you that I am horrible with reviews mainly because I don't pay attention to details, but instead choosing to live in the moment. Also, I was selling merch every night and wasn't able to enjoy the shows as I would have liked to. Mostly, I have a shitty memory and after the first night they all tend to blur into another....lol

Portland - Rock n' Roll Pizza:
COLD.....One of the smaller venues, but the turnout and fan reaction was great. The band was full of energy and sounded good.

Seattle - Studio Seven:
FREEZING.....The merch booth was right next to the entrance and of course the door had to be open. A very cool venue with an upstairs area, and also rehearsal rooms for local bands in the back. The lighting guys also had some great visual effects that appeared on a screen behind the band. I had the honor of meeting a couple fans from here, Aaron (The Cakeman) and Sherri (will travel for Earshot and longtime devoted fan). It's always great to put a face behind those you get to know online. I happened to be taking a potty break when the Moby Dick solo was starting and got to catch that. Those boys can tear it up, and major kudos to Dave on drums.....WOW is all I can say!

Spokane - The Blvd:
Still cold but......SHAY TAKES THE NIGHT OFF.....whoo hoo!!!! I was right up front with Sherri rockin' out and finally getting to see Earshot. I was actually standing in back of Sherri taking pictures and the couple right next her were kind enough to offer me to stand in front of them in the front row. The energy of the band and the fans were amazing. Everyone seemed to really be having fun and enjoying themselves.

Richland - Ray's Golden Lion:
I finally warmed up a little and was able to remove a layer of clothing. The merch area was just to the side of the stage so I was able to watch most of the show. Very crowded show, and Earshot didn't let the fans down and even gained several new ones.

Tacoma - Maggie O'Toole's
Cold again.....surprise, surprise. Great turn out and in my opinion the best show of the tour. The band sounded fantastic and even played one of the new songs. It was the only show that was 21+ yet it seemed to be a younger crowd for some reason.

Don't say you weren't forewarned about my lousy reviews....lol

I would like to thank all of the guys for a wonderful week and treating me as one of them. ALL of the fans, local bands, promoters and venue staff that I met at each show....you guys rock!!!!

And at long last......PICTURES!!!!
