Ok well I havent blogged in forever but tonight was well worth gettin on here at 1am and tellin yall about. Tonight Me, Norma Jean, and NTBNTBBTOB went to Champaign and saw the greatest fuckin Bluegrass Band On The Planet! SPLIT LIP RAYFIELD! As I walked up to the stage a young lady walked up to me and said, “are you Blake from IBWIP?” I about shit my draws. It was the coolest feeling to have someone know who I was! It really made it kinda sink in that people are listening to the show and enjoying what we are putting out there. To Melissa and her hubby (pictured above) you are awesome and you dont know how cool it was to meet you guys. Melissa and I even sang together! I met up with Wayne G from SLR just for a minute or two before they went on. He is an awesome guy. He even gave me a shout out while the show was going on. That was cool as hell too. See that is the difference between the bands we all listen too and the shitty POP country assholes. First, Kenny wouldnt have had time to stop and say HI and sure as shit wouldnt be about to know where the fuck I was in the crowd to point to me and give me a shout out. It also shows that the bands we love really are thankful that we are bloggin, doing podcasts, and just supporting them in general. Norma Jean had a blast (as usual) and took about 100 pics of Wayne and the guys. She even talked to Wayne after the show. She was head bangin and shit kickin.. until the gas station about 20 miles outside of Champaign… IBWIP would like to make a formal appology to the gas station attendent who had to clean up after her. All in all it was an amazing night and it really hit home what this REVOLUTION is all about. Its about meeting new friends at shows, rockin out for a couple of hours, and Norma Jean getting drunk. Thanks again Melissa and Thanks to everyone who supports the show. Without you I am just a guy about to get layed off because of this fucked up economy…… GET YOUR HANK ON FUCKERS!
