I woke up super excited. The night before was awesome and I would get to see a second show later. I knew it was going to be amazing. I'd spoken to Brian about his schedule and there were a number of things that he had to handle for the day. I had some free time and was going to make the most of it.

I headed north, looking up a few stops along the way. I'd woken up a little later and well rested so lunch was the first mean of the day. I grabbed some food, looked around at a few stores in the are and then decided to get up to Glendale.

The drive up to Glendale was nice and smooth. I was staying at a Hilton property that I have not before. I got checked in, surveyed the room and property and got my things settled. I had time and Glendale Galleria was just south of me. I walked down there and enjoyed the weather. There wasn't really anything that I needed but I wanted to just get out and relax. It was a relaxing time and I enjoyed it.

As the day progressed, I found a few more stores to stop in and check out. There wasn't much to see, just kind of passing time and seeing what the area had to offer. I got dinner at the hotel bar. The bartender was great and gave me a nice history of the area.

I headed down to Zebulon and parked out front. I am an idiot. I confused the venue and the bar. I sat outside for a while before realizing that I could just head in. I did so, caught up with everyone again and told more stories. Doors opened and I headed in and downstairs to the green room. I spent some more time hanging with everyone and sharing stories. Their set time was coming up and I got my spot.

Again, the show was fucking amazing. I sang along, cheered, smiled, and laughed the entire time. Again, I wish I could have seen them get at it longer, but that was time. Everyone wound down and they had a long night ahead of them. I thanked everyone for their hospitality, said goodbye, and headed back to grab some sleep.

Sunday was designed to be a mellow day. I got breakfast at the hotel and got on the road. I stopped for lunch and was ready to tackle the drive. Just outside of the AZ border, I got my first speeding ticket. I very much earned it. Then I got closer to Phoenix to find that I was in an area where the freeway was shut down. There was a fatality and I was in the middle zone between the reroute and the closure. I turned around and got routed onto a dirt road that was sand for many miles that cars were getting stuck in. Then there was traffic. I 5 hour drive took over 8.

Everything was amazing and you need to see Fake Names if you have not!
