  1. if philly was THE show of the tour, greenvile was the opposite. some great tunes, and lots of energy throughout...but just so short. not sure why. plus, I got hassled in the parking lot afterwards by a special ops (in his mind) security guard who had nothing better to do than throw his weight around. what a dick. but not a bad show, overall...just too short.

  2. I'm guessing the security guard thing comes from the fact that a few nights ago Parmalee, a NC band that plays the Handlebar a lot, got into a robbery/shootout while loading up after a show in Rock Hill. Freaked John Jeter (Handlebar owner) out a bit, little too close to home in multiple ways.

    Story is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parmalee
    wikipedia knows all.

  3. yeah, that might have had something to do with it. he was just doing his job, I guess. but he could've been nicer about it. no biggie. thanks for the background piece.

  4. p.s. just for the record, my original post was supposed to read "greenville" not "greenvile".
