gearing up for the road

I'm not sure which is more stressful, packing instruments and gear for a tour and hoping you don't forget anything important, or packing toys and clothes for a family trip and hoping you don't forget anything. I'm doing both today, though, so I'll let you know.
I just left rehearsal for Derek's tour. It's going to be a fun show. His new record is a lot more free-spirited and the songs are really a blast to play. The band is great, the Webbs, Paul Eckberg, Cason Cooley and me. I'm doing two songs in the show as well, which will be nice. If you come, please bring some cash and buy some cd's!
Alison and the girls are going to stay with her parents for a couple weeks, while I'm on the road or super-busy with the Caedmon's Call record. We're playing a show in North Carolina, just a half hour from her folks, so I'll get to see them about midway through the trip. That will help. I'll fly out once everything is over and spend a few days out there, then help drive back.
Today we'll be leaving, hopefully in an hour or so, to start the nine-hours-without-babies drive to Durham. We'll see how that goes. I'll let you know. Thank you guys for being awesome and patient in this crazy season. Good, good stuff is on the horizon!

Looking forward to the show at the Lincoln Theater....its an awesome venue. It's about time you came to play in Raleigh!!!
missed you at the New City Benefit show last night, bro.
Good times. Take plenty of pics on the tour with Derek.
Darn, no shows anywhere near western Ohio . . .
Bro, may God bless your life right now. Sounds exciting.
come to Arkansas! wait, nevermind.
That would be an amazing show to see.
And yeah, you were missed last night.
Andrew-
I'm really psyched to know where you are these days. I've been blessed and challenged (is that the same thing?) by your work with the Normals, and thought the band created appropriate "putty for the hole, a fallen tree for the rift" tragically missing in most of today's Christian music. Thanks. Even today, I'm still blessed and challenged (is that the same thing, still?) by all that stuff. I hope Caedman's is a place for you to give, receive, and grow in your life. Being a husband and father is hard, even when you're home every night. I can imagine how hard it is on the road. I'm praying for you and the rest of the band. As I've recently become a father ('never thought THAT would happen!), I have a special type of empathy for you. Man! It's a blessing and a challenge (is that the same thing?)
Peace and carrots,
