Sauget, IL (Pop's)

We played at Pop's in Sauget, IL last night. This venue is outside of
St. Louis. I've know about the place for a long time, but I've never
been to a show there, and the band had never played there.

The show was good! There were about 240 people there. We had a lot of
friends and family come out. The venue was nice! It's definitely a step
up from the Creepy Crawl (where we normally play in St. Louis). The
sound was solid and the lightboard was good.

The guys played well. Corey had some vocal issues, but with some rest,
he'll be fine. The crowd was real into the guys' set! Merch sales were
good! We always do pretty well in St. Louis, and we really enjoy playing
the area.

After the show, we hung out with some friends for a while. We went to
Steak 'N Shake, and it was great. We then went to our friend's apartment
and stayed the night.

We woke up this morning and started toward Albuquerque, NM (where
tomorrow's show is). We were going to play a morning news show in
Albuquerque tomorrow, but we had to cancel that....Max isn't feeling
well and Corey's voice could use some rest.

We'll drive until 1 or 2am and then get a hotel tonight. We'll do the
rest of the drive tomorrow.
