Life in the Forest City.

Our time spent in Erie was short lived and the weather would not ease up. We got in a few games of pool at a smoking bar a few doors down from the club. Bright fluorescent lights along with a hanging fog over the bar,  you can see by the photo below that Coors Light was a proud sponsor.

After a great show at The Crooked I, we left Erie and made our way into Ohio. Chitwood was driving and yelled, "four dead in Ohio" as we crossed the border. It was a relatively smooth trip, and we even got a chance to watch the 1984 smash hit Gremlins. Still just as great as it was when we were kids.

We hit Cleveland early setup and took in some of the local sites. The venue, Wilbert's, was located right across the street from the Progressive Field where the Indians and the Yankees were playing. Adding an interesting sports dynamic to the show, our set times where based around the game. Because the game was rained out, we played an earlier set. We had the opportunity to meet John Adams, the famous Indians team supporter known as "Big Chief Boom-Boom". Adams joined us on stage for Livin' with the same drum he has played since 1973. It added a very drum heavy element, and brought the local crowd into a roaring cheer. Unfortunately, a picture didn't come with the experience.

As for now, we are heading towards Indianapolis. Thanks for reading and keep in touch.

Love,
