Oh man! Eureka Springs is so AWESOME!!! I love it there. If you ever have the chance , I recommend at least a week-end trip to really soak it all in. Some of the most beautiful countryside and the trees are in full tilt right now with autumn colors screaming at you. We played a little venue which was a nice change, only holding 900 people, called the Auditorium. It was right smack in the middle of the touristy area of Eureka which gives of the vibe of an old Dutch town with thin buildings and walkways that stretch over the streets that lead into small shops on the 2nd floors of buildings. Is that right grammar? We ate lunch at this really quaint Indian restaurant and had their buffet. It was so good, I had to have 2 helpings as did Kayla. The people there remind me a lot like the Austinites I am so used to seeing everyday so it felt like I was home, but in a much prettier environment. The only real story to arise out of Eureka was while I was looking for some Herbal Tea, I was continuously redirected to other shops until finally the last stop was "The Inn-Convenience Store". I had to laugh because it really was becoming an inconvenience to find some stupid tea. As I walked in a dainty gay man was working the counter and was obviously in a very intense conversation on the phone. He put down the phone to help me, when a friend (I assume) of his comes running screaming about his sister being outside. This through him into a whole new trip and he told his friend that he "was on the phone and had no time for dilly dally". Shortly afterwards his sister comes barreling in asking about the bed that was in the back of her truck and what he planned to do with all while he tried handling me and the phone that was a very important phone call. This really sent him into a dizzy and I ended up getting the tea for free cause he didn't want to deal with it anymore! As I walked out I found the sisters truck half on the sidewalk half off with a bed 3 times the size of the truck teetering about. What a town.
Dallas was lame, comparatively, but it was a big venue with lots of acts and lots of people to watch wander around like cattle, so that in itself was cool. Plus, i got to eat some of the best Catering on the tour as of yet. Which is nice when you have been standing all day and the last thing you ate was a McDonald's Mcgriddle nasty-ness at 5 am in the morning. Oh yeah, the other reason why I didn't like Dallas.... I got pulled over twice on the way one of which ended with a ticket. Stupid Oklahoma Police.
Next stop, Memphis TN, tomorrow. Will put up pics in the mean time.
