Hey there everyone,
I haven't done this in quite some time...for
that, I am sorry. Please accept my heart felt apology...okay, I took it
to far. I have been having a blast with my time here on tour. I have
done so much since I last left a blog for you all. I got my bass, which
is incredible! Some of you got to see it on the live video chat last
night (which was a blast). The bass was kind of crazy to get used to
because it is a little different than the Yamaha that I was using
before. We played a lot of shows since the last blog too. We went from
Oklahoma to now being in Idaho. Lot's of land to travel. Oklahoma was
interesting to hang at. Eli and I ran around the town together doing
stuff. Kendra and her family hung out with David, Eli, Ray and I to go
out for sushi. It was a blast. David was super hyper. The Texas shows
were fun...nice and warm down in Texas this time of year. I was walking
around the town and one of the locals told me to stay away from the
water because I might get bit by a "water monster." I had no idea what
that was. He told me it was a snake. So funny! Albuquerque had good
Thai food, that we went out for. I had a day off there, where I sat in
my room and practiced my bass and wrote a new composition for fun. It
is a cool piece that I am pretty excited about...dorky, I know. I
stayed on the thirteenth floor of a big hotel on Friday the thirteenth,
which was crazy...they don't believe in bad luck there. The show at the
Marquee was insane! The crowd was going nuts. I had a blast hanging
with some family friends there and walking around the town with the
band. Eli and I played tennis and walked up the town's
(self-proclaimed) famous "A mountain." I also got to chat with Jeff
Hornacek (former Utah Jazz basketball player). I got an autograph for
my bro back in Utah. He was super nice. I got to joke around with him a
bit. I got to skate in Arizona too. Soooooooo much fun!!!! I felt
really good at the show because I was all exercised up. The Pomona show
was awesome. What can I say? There is a reason that people are so
attracted to California. It is beautiful, the weather is lovely and so
are the people! The Reno show was cool. The venue was really awesome.
There was an airplane on the stage...that's right, a 747. My family
came out for that show too! I loved hanging with them. My mom and dad
were there with my namesake "Uncle Alex" and Aunt Nancy and cousin
Rebecca. Soooo good to see you. Next was the Idaho Falls show. I felt
like my dancing was somewhat on at this show...good stuff. The fans
were crazy at this show too. My lovely wife was there too, with my boy!
She hung out with my through Boise too. LOVED IT!!!!! The Boise show
was a blast but was the last show with Leslie. SOOOO sad. I miss those
guys so much already. She came out on stage and gave David a big ol
bear hug. She's the best...all of the band members were so awesome to
hang with.
All of the fans from the places we played have been
so incredibly welcoming and nice! I have loved getting to know some of
you. No one completed their "dance portion" of the homework from last
time. However, you all get A's for the pictures and recommendations for
the show! I loved hearing from all of you. Keep giving me all the pics
you can and get someone out there to bust out a little dance routine
for me. Give me some recommendations for the dancing...come on, I am
obviously just a dork up there moving to the music (we couldn't really
call it dancing, I don't think).
The video chat was an amazing
time to get to talk to all of you. I would love to do it again if I
could. A silly thing happened...lot's of you think that I played a
studio version of Zero Gravity. I actually played one of the recordings
that someone else sent me of one of the concerts. It was really cool to
have such a good recording of it. I love you all...and as many of you
have seen on the web, "I love your mom too." Peace out from me and the
band.
Signed,
Yours truly,
Sincerely,
Alex
