Tin Cup Gypsy

Hey gang, thanks to all you Arizonans who came out to our shows. We had an incredible time (as usual) and felt refreshed and renewed by our hometown crowds. We just posted a few new show photos from our SKYE Restaurant show in Phoenix (special thanks to Dave Herzog for providing those) for anyone interested in checking them out. We should have some new video being added soon, so check back often, and feel free to leave a comment! Just for fun, here’s a recap of some of the highlights (most of which involve food) of our trip:

- Day 1: Jon, Cass, and Judy hit the Golden Greek (great Greek food in Glendale!)
- Day 3: I (Jonathan) successfully didn’t shoot Steve, nor get shot by him, whilst attempting to quail hunt (score: quail – 1, hunters – 0)
- Day 4: Cass overcame her fear of carnies and rode the big spinning tower cage-o-death ride at the AZ State Fair
- Day 5: Mexican Food (AZ Mexican Food is in a category of its own)
- Day 6: Proudly gave Don Derby (www.donderby.com) the nickel tour from Phoenix to Safford. Over the Superiors, through the sprawling metropolis of Globe/Miami, across the Apache Indian Nation, into the candy-cane forest, and out of the Lincoln Tunnel…
- Day 7: Attempted Mexican Food. Establishment closed. Backup Mexican Food settled on. 9 Holes of Golf. I shot a 48. Don’t laugh, I’m actually improving…
- Day 8: Mexican Food Encore. First place from day 7, open on day 8. Mmmmm. Cassandra risks life and limb by snakebite, to pillage through AZ junk (as well as nearly getting arrested for vandalism [all in the name of art])
- Day 9: Dune Buggy + Sharp Rocks = Flat Tire. Windshield + No Air Flow = Me trying not to puke in the back seat. Jordan enjoying the fine winter weather in Rochester, NY.
- Day 10: Safford Show! 500+ Attendance! Jordan, Tyler, and Derek (@DeeWeeZee) up at the crack o’dawn. Derek catches the flu, literally puking at soundcheck (the show goes on)
- Day 11: Jordan and Derek drive 3 hours to Phx, J flies to Dallas, D to Nashvegas. Jordan show with Josh Turner that night. Meanwhile, 2nd half of golf round finished up. 49 this time. Dang that 18th bunker. Repeat Mexican food from day 7.
- Day 12: Cattle Roundup. 600lb Ticked off Cow + Me standing between her and her calf = shoulder pain for the next few weeks. Private Party Concert that night. GOOD TIMES!
- Day 13: Phoenix Show! 200+ Attendance! Thanks to Skye Restaurant and Judy Marcum for making that possible!
- Day 14: Jordan, Tyler, and Don hike Camelback Mountain and then around the other side. Meanwhile Jonathan and Cass sleep until noon. MNF with Dave Herzog.
- Day 15: Catch the plane back to Nashvegas. WHAT A TRIP!
