After the game we gave hugs and said goodbye to Kate. She took great care of us and we all had a blast. We can't thank you enough......We then met up with another old UNI friend, Heather Peterson. Heather showed us around downtown Denver, and let us crash at her apartment for the night.
We spent the next day in Denver hanging out and getting band stuff done. Then we played at a very cool old venue called Quixote's. If you ever go there make sure you check out the live music archive in the basement. Its epic. Most of the band left the venue broke after spending all the nights money on live cds.
We were pretty excited to get to Arizona so we left immediately after the show in Denver and drove through the night. We went to sleep in the mountains and woke up in the desert. After around 17-18 hours in the RV we made it to Phoenix late Saturday night. We met up with Miss Jenna who had prepared a huge poolside bbq for us. We spent the night hanging out and having a blast with old friends and new ones.
Sunday we loaded into Crush Studios in Scottsdale and started working on all the new material. We need to thank Steve, Alex, and Kevin for putting us up and putting up with us for 10 days. We had a blast and can't wait to do it all again.
Trying to finish up some parts to the new songs.
listening to the finished product....
We recorded three songs; "Take It Easy", "Amazing", and "Take Me"..... we are extremely happy with them, can't wait for everyone to hear them, and will let everyone know when you can hear them. We have begun playing them live so the one way to hear them for sure is coming out and seeing us in person.
While we were in the studio we also took a little time off to play a show and have fun with all the AZ fans.
Garrett busted out a new look for Freebird!
After 10 days of recording, 3 kick ass new songs, a great show, and lots of good times with old friends we left Arizona for the long drive back to Iowa.
on the long road home.......
and we finally made it back to Iowa after 36 hours in the RV.

I am so glad we got to be camper neighbors at the Buffalo Chip. You guys are great. other than the 5:30am wake up call..John! I look forward to watching another sunrise and talking astronomy with G. Love you honey. I only wish I would have connected with you sooner. I hope to see you back again next year. I will talk to Toni Woodruff and Woody personally and recommend that they bring you back. I love you guys and hope to see you again. Maybe you should do at Corona beach night at the Loud American in Sturgis sometime. Get your promoter on that would you. Glad I could get you the radio interviews (anytime). And Mike, I will only be 28 next year...:o) if anyone reading this came to the 2009 Sturgis Rally and didn't get out to the Buffalo Chip Black Parrot Pond and see these guys...you are morons. Best band I have seen in years. Know how to entertain and the musicality is some of the best I have heard in my 25 years in the radio business. TALENT is an understatement.
