First - Arkansas. OED played Little Rock, AK and totally rocked it again. Kim jumped on stuff, crowd surfed, people sang along. All in all, a pretty rockin' show. The VIP party afterwards at IHOP was a blast though. We had this badass waiter named Michael who was funny AND a good waiter.
He took all of our orders, remembered them all without writing them down and had the time to come over and entertain us. At the end of the night we wanted to take a picture with him. Well when we did this man from a large group across from us said he was going to take a picture of us taking a picture. And then someone from another group said he was going to take a picture of him taking a picture of us taking a picture. OED VIP inception through and through.
We hit the road afterwards and headed back to TX. I drove all the way to Longview, TX and I have to be honest. It didn't seem like much of a metal town. Especially with the sign we saw outside. However that night, those that showed up showed me that they were metal as fuck. People were on tables, lotsa yelling, lotsa energy, lotsa shouting. It was another good night. Earlier in the day we had to drive around and re-fill
Kim's hat bag as it was running low. Luckily they had an awesome party store there. After the show we hung out with a couple of cool VIPs and some other friends of Kim and Jason. Afterwards it was on to Austin!
Coming back to Austin was kinda weird. The city felt a lot smaller than it did two weeks prior. I was able to sleep in my own bed which was pretty nice. Vaporized some bud and I was feeling alright. Ran around running various errands during the day and then it was time for the show. It also felt kinda weird being in the Dirty Dog as I'd been there before but never in the context of being a roadie.
Kim absolutely ruled the Austin show. Homecoming was a cool thing to see. Eric, the bassist for Otep, had his knee pop out during the show. He snapped it back in place with the wall during the show. What a bad ass. At the end of the night we went back to OED headquarters and rested up, restocked supplies and in the morning made our way to Houston....We hit the road afterwards and headed back to TX. I drove all the way to Longview, TX and I have to be honest. It didn't seem like much of a metal town. Especially with the sign we saw outside.
