Wednesday was a driving day. Traveled from Fayetteville, GA to Pass Christian, MS (where Charles' aunt was kind enough to allow us to stay). It was my first time passing through Alabama and Mississippi and it was actually quite nice. I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting. Ate cheese sandwiches pretty much the whole day, and when we arrived we were then able to make grilled cheese sandwiches. Eatin' like kings now. Also crossed into Central Standard Time. Always fun. We stayed up into the night bullshitting before heading to bed.

Slept in yesterday and spent most of the day hanging about the house, eating more cheese sandwiches. We took a trip through town. We got stuck behind two tractors on a weird looking road. There was a weird bar that looked like a large outhouse and whose logo was the stars & bars (Confederate flags irk me). The Delisle Forest is home to a DuPont chemical factory. This was all in stark contrast to the house's backyard. That was gorgeous, actually.

The show was a little loose and funny. I think this was the best show of the tour so far. There's some video of the show; we'll probably put something up as soon as we get a steady internet connection. The folks at Cafe Prytania were great to us. This dude Alex was selling some food there; he not only fed us for free, but made us some to-go packages as well. Made his own bread, too; tasted amazing. We also met Robin, Annie's friend who helped book a few shows for us down here. Some good people out in New Orleans.

Other choice moments:

- Tommy turning onto the wrong end of a one way street, Charles instructionally yelling "No", and Tommy nonchalantly changing lanes. The street wasn't marked very well.

- The really drunk woman who kept falling over, and also kept beckoning everyone with a (quote) "sexy" (unquote) come-hither look. This really isn't that funny writing about it. I wish one of us took a picture.

- Charles riding on the back of the van for 800 yards upon returning to Pass Christian.

In Baton Rouge right now, waiting to load in at Clicks. Will talk about it tomorrow, as well as further adventures in New Orleans.
