Birmingham













Birmingham was an awesome city. We got there at about noon. After walking around for a while, we stopped at a local eatery known as "Sneaky Pete's" We learned later why they call it SNEAKY Pete's. We went for the 5 Hot dogs for 5 dollars with ALL the fixin's....


















Later we met up with the wonderful Punky and Lee, who used to be neighbors of the Rahn's 40 years ago in Haddonfield. They were wonderful people, and they took us all over the city, and showed us a great time. We saw the old Sloss Furnace, and the art museum, and they even bought us a delicious BBQ rib dinner :)













Later we met up with our couch surfer Beau, and his friends, who are in an awesome band called "The Arrangement".

From there we went to our gig at "The Nick". The venue ended up being just as cool as its name...

We played with another touring band from Virginia called "The Nerve Scheme" They were really great dudes, and played some awesome punk rock music. The show was truly awesome. We had a great set, the venue was cool as shit, the sound guy was the best I've ever seen (He even re-coned a speaker between the soundcheck and our set.), the bartender was beautiful, and we got 16 free beers!!

After the show we went back to Beau's and went out for some late night food at around 4 AM at this amazing place called "Al's Deli". The perfect end to a perfect day.

We woke up at noon, and drove to the gulf coast....
