Big thanks to Hot 93.7 and Jerry for the interview. See yall next time we come back to Stillwater!

More live footage: Sunshine + Rock People

We just discovered footage on youtube from Boston and New York on the last tour! Both are Sunshine. We also have an iPhone recording of “Rock People” from Ell’s in Oklahoma, although the quality is fairly low.

OK in review: better than OK

Achachay! with Dominic in Enid

- Two great shows: lots of people, good pay, awesome playing
- Debuted a new song and a new cover; everyone dug
- Should call the place Smokelahoma; my clothes reeked all weekend
- Met and listened to Dominic McClenny, one of Hooch’s best friends; he is awesome
- Got Dom to sing a couple songs with us!
- Met a ton of Hooch’s friends; all good people
- Went to Spiderdome – a bar that is probably a couple miles down a dirt road
- Spiderdome was playing hardcore porn on the main big screen LCD TV by the end of the night
- Met and ate great food w/ Autumn’s fam (shout-out to Barak, Louis, mom, Gunner, Rand) *ed note: 1/23/10 Rand’s real name is “Rayann”
- Oklahoma has the most ridiculous laws concerning drinking. For example:
- only 3.2% beers
- no liquor on Sundays (too bad for Ell’s, our second venue which is a MARTINI LOUNGE forced to only serve 3.2% beer)
- Accidentally rechristened a girl named “Andie” to “Amy”
- Got the tour of famous Hooch incidents such as “This is the highway where someone hit me head on at 70 mph. Now I always have un-insured auto insurance,” and “This is where I outran the cops after street racing”

Bottom line: We had a hell of a time and we’ll definitely be back

Oklahoma!

We just crossed the border and are now in Oklahoma. Apparenty there are some mountains here, but hooch calls it a hill range. Anyway just wanted to let everyone know our sched:
tonight, sat jan 16: the hog trough in Enid, OK at 10p
