With the late night we had last night, we slept until about 11 this morning, even then it being somewhat of an effort to get moving.

After waking up and getting some lunch happening, it seemed like it was no time before we had to leave to get to The Vig. We'd planned to get there a bit earlier this week, but still we found ourselves rushing to get out of the door. And a wrong turn around Rio Salado made sealed the fate of us not getting there by the planned 2:30pm. At least we got to tune into Point Of Ventre, and hear A on the radio on the way down there, so things could have been worse. It was surprising to us both when we arrived at The Vig in Phoenix and was still picking up The Blaze, even though the signal was starting to get weaker.

Photobox ImageAaron arrived pretty much the same time as us, and we headed in. The band weren't even yet set up, and seemed to walk in behind us, so I'm not sure not getting there early wasn't the worst thing in the world.

Aaron, with his impressive skills got us a table, so we only spent a little time at standing at the bar, unlike the last time we came where we spent the entire three hours on our feet. Awesomely it was on the deck chairs, Scotty side of the stage.

Now this is the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon - chilling in deck chairs with Scotty Johnson rocking out a few feet away from you!

Photobox ImageThe position of our sating was also very conducive to great photo taking, which made me particularly happy, since I haven't taken all that many shots of bands that I've been that happy with so far. One particularly great one was of just the guitar, with the sun starting to descend over Phoenix, which came out great!

It was another awesome set by the guys. My favorite part of the whole thing would have to be when Daylon broke a string and Scotty kicked off Green & Dumb while the repairs took place - vocals and all! I'd actually expected him to break into Get Drunk so I had the camera ready, and hence was pretty happy to have gotton to capture all of it. There's ain't much that I like more than when Scotty sings!

Photobox ImageOther than that, it was a typically awesome set from the guys, and was very nice to be able to sit in comfort and enjoy it. Since we had a prior dinner arrangement, we both took off around 5:20pm - well we started to, we kept having to stop in our tracks when a song we wanted to hear was started. But we eventually mustered up the strength to leave in the middle of Til I Hear It From You after giving Johnson a wave.

Last night was awesome, and today at the Vig really solidifies how great life out here is for us!
