We made most of the trek to Muncie the night before our set so we wouldn't have to get up early and drive from Chicago, instead crashing in a cushy Candlewood Suites in Indianapolis using our points.
This hotel made us feel like royalty, with a gift bag upon check-in, no questions late checkout, free goodies from the "Candlewood Cupboard" pantry shop, and awesome rooms with full kitchens.We started the day with a hot breakfast cooked in our rooms, and then headed out to Wuhnurth Fest. The band schedule was running a bit late, so we enjoyed some time in the great weather, hanging with a few other bands and friends and fans.
The set went off well, and it was nice to see some of our die-hards from Chicago raging the front row. We opened with the new "G Song," which is really starting to gel, and also played probably our last "Sittin on the Dock of the Bay" of the summer, in honor of the small lake behind the stage.
Post-show, the hospitality people were excited to feed their first band of the evening, and we loaded up on awesome pasta, salad, and garlic bread.
Adam, Jordan and I headed out later that night, leaving Mattias behind as the ambassador to the fans. On the way home, Adam spotted a drunk driver on the highway during his shift, so I called 911 to report it. We passed the crazy driver and went through an interchange, but about 20 minutes later, Miss Crazy Drunkie in the PT Cruiser whizzed by us once again, weaving in and out of the lanes, and slowing and speeding up randomly. I called 911 again, and while I was on the phone, Crazy Drunkie smashed into a truck about 5 car lengths in front of us. We narrowly escaped a sticky situation and were very grateful for it....we were "wuhn" lucky band!
