Ellensburg, Where the Party's At, Apparently

If you book it, they will come. At least in Ellensburg, WA they will.

Daniel and I have been notorious lately for bringing bad weather on this tour, or good weather, depending on how you look at it. Let's just say we bring change, and I can't say that's a bad thing. So, if you need rain or want snow, book us in your town!

To Ellensburg we brought snow, and a lot of it. Allegedly, it was the first time it dumped that winter and there we were driving 25 miles per hour on the highway because, as it seemed, people in Washington cannot drive in the snow. It wasn't quite as bad as, let's say, Texas, but it was still mildly annoying, mostly because we were behind schedule due to roaming around aimlessly in a grocery store for two hours.

We arrive on schedule, but without ample time to relax properly and prepare our mental space before the show. We are greeted by smiling, happy owners and bartenders which immediately put us at ease. I can honestly say it was one of the nicest towns I have ever been in.

They bound over and immediately start helping us back in and upon discovering that we are the band playing tonight express their excitement and tell us that they came to see us, which is always a good indicator of a potentially fun evening.

Halfway through the first set the place was full. And they were drinking. And, damn it, they were just having a great time, which made us have a great time. I wish I had a picture to insert here of all the people having a great time, but I don't, which is a reminder to me to take more pictures, or get a photographer.

Luckily, we met this awesome gal in Ellensburg, who not only wrote one of our favorite articles about us in the local newspaper, The Daily Record, but she also happened to take pictures during the show. Credit to Lauren Takores for the pictures. Link to Article

And, I can't forget this extremely humble and friendly fellow who jumped up and played some tunes with us on his fiddle. (Thanks to his brother who called him up and told him to come down). We were told he played at Carnegie Hall, and I believe it because he was pretty damn good.

Thanks you Ellensburg for being so fun and we'll see you around next time!
