Last night Nick was sleeping soundly, a smile spread calm across his face, dreaming about the flames that flew from the Chatanooga stage last night. The rain had stopped, all five band members were tucked in to rest (Logs and Nick had lost the coin toss and were respectably sharing a pad), not a creature was stirring. Until Logan got friendly. First a single Logan arm was thrown across the shoulders of an unsuspecting Nick. Nick’s eyes dart open. He laughed to himself and wiggled Logan’s arm back to his side of the bed. A moment passed. And then, a second snuggle attempt. The arm again, this time more gently, with intent to spoon. Nick laughs harder and wiggles free for the second time. Several moments pass and Nick is almost back to sleep. And then the King Tut. The tip top of them all,..The Leg. Saaaa-Wiiing and tuck. Ahhhh. Covers fly, exclamations of warning and surprise, we laugh, we cry, we share memories, we all pass out back to sleep.

We are currently on the road from Chatanooga to Athens. So far, we have only taken two U-turns, seen one man driving a convertible with fingerless driving gloves, stopped off to purchase five pairs of leather, fingerless driving gloves (brandishing them immediately), and we have even had time to eat breakfast at The Cracker Barrell. Mmmm, mommma. Things are looking good. So, if you are in Athens tonight or have a friend or grandparent who likes easy listening music, send them out to the 40Watt …cause we’ll be there. And it is bound to be awesome.
