We are now on our way to Myrtle Beach South Carolina to perform on Saturday. So, today is a driving day and a “finding postcardsâ€? day. We are sending postcards to War-N’s niece in school as part of a school project. We meant to get some postcards in Pinellas Park but we didn’t see any where we were. Anyhoo, we’ll find some today and send them off!
Last night at the Cafe Tsunami, we were treated so incredibly well! Caroline and everyone at the Cafe Tsunami were so incredibly sweet and hospitable. We weren’t hungry all day 
War-N discovered just how much he liked Sushi (vegetarian sushi, that is.) and he just wanted more and more! It was awesome. I must say, the pickled ginger didn’t settle too well with me, but i just avoided that and ate all the other yummy goodness!! Neil ( I don’t know if that’s the right spelling… sorry if it isn’t), the sushi chef, made us trays of sushi, plus miso soup, AND green tea with honey!
After the show we were treated to two large containers of fried rice! We gobbled that up in our hotel room before we went to bed. It always seems we are starving after we perform no matter how much we eat during the day. I guess it’s the energy lost during performing that make you so hungry. Dunno?? But thanks again to Neil for making us such scrumptious grub!!
The performance felt better than any thus far, speaking for myself (cb). I felt so incredibly relaxed and into the songs. It was like performing for a room full of close friends. After the night was at it’s end, I felt I DID have a room full of new close friends! All of the bands were so nice and we had many a conversation with each person. A very special gift was given to us by a member of the last band (Set for Deletion). He (Feightner) is also a photographer and he had his portfolio with him. We looked through it and it was brilliant work!! He decided to GIVE us a print of our choice!!
I chose one of his self-portraits, as it was the one that stuck with me as I looked through his beautiful work, and I thought it was fitting to remember the occasion. I will put it on our wall where everyone can see it! I also had him sign it with one of our swanky silver Sharpie pens! I will cherish that picture, and moment, all my life.
So, we’ve been driving just over an hour today. We’re both in need of a Mocha, or equivalent, and are on the search!! I’m very tired today, but I thought journaling would help keep me awake in case War-N needed me. He still can’t talk, so he has to prod me if I’m asleep when he needs something. Poor thing. I had to order for him today at Bob Evans and the waitress must have thought me weird at first. I explained he had no voice, and she said he could still nod 
She was quite nice. It’s nice to be in the South and have all the friendly people treating you like family. “Need anything else, hun?â€?. That was something I missed when we moved to California, having been in the land of “Hunâ€? in Kentucky. Funny how the little things can add up and mean so much!!
Well spit fire… I think I’ve rambled on quite enough today! Thanks again to everyone in Pinellas Park Florida for everything. You made two people feel very welcome and appreciated! You will not be forgotten!! Neither will the Absinthe!
Take care all,
cb

Well, we’ve just had a lovely evening in Hilton Head South Carolina. We had planned to stay in Savannah Georgia, but we moved on up a bit in order to get ahead for the drive tomorrow. I know most people that know of Hilton Head consider it a very obvious resort town. I agree for the most part. But, we found two non-national chain places to partake of some nourishment and it were quite lovely! We had pizza at a family place called “Pizza Romaâ€? and the family members were there working together. The lady’s daughter was there with her and she kept running errands for her Mama and yelling (acceptably, and not in a rude way) “Mama…here’s this.â€? and so on. It was nice to see a true family business thriving in such a massive chain area! It was just what we were looking for for the evening. Then, we found a place down the “streetâ€? (paved pathway running through the maze of a stripmall) called “Java Joe’sâ€? and got a really good cuppa coffee that had actual flavour! THEN, we walked down the extremely dark street to the beach and ran across a few of those lovely, red, large cockroaches scuttling along the wood… YUCKY BLECH BLAH!!! I don’t like bugs and I instantly had a “Momma… pick me up!!â€? moment that I used to have as a child on similar beach areas!! We stood at the shore for a few moments and enjoyed the darkness and the water. I didn’t get too close ad I am not a beach person, but I can appreciate it for it’s amazing beauty and wonder. The moon was so lovely, but it would not photograph.
So, now we are in the hotel room doing the update on the blog and will then do some video journaling. We had full strength coffee, so we’re both not quite tired yet. We’ll bring you further updates as we get stuff to talk about! A busy weekend in front of us full of new experiences. YAY!!
Nighty night,
