Champaign, IL

Yesterday's show was at the Canopy Club in Champaign, IL. This was a
venue that I went to in college a few times. It's a cool place!

This show was the first show of our little stint with our buddies in The
Forecast (from Peoria, IL). We got to the venue early and just hung out
for a while. Eventually, we started doing the normal show routine.
Everything with this show was real low key. This was a nice change of
pace from the last few shows. Don't get me wrong, the past few shows
(which were huge) were awesome, but they were a little more stressful.

I had some friends come out to the show. It was great catching up with
them. They guys played pretty well (except for Corey being on the verge
of getting sick the whole set). Jared also felt pretty bad. These
things came through to me during their set, but the normal person
watching might not have noticed it as much.

There was a decent turnout, and the crowd really enjoyed The Grad's set.
We did well in merch and even got a healthy anonymous donation (thank
you so much)!

We are now driving to Toledo, OH to play a show. I will check in later.
