A night of fun for everyone
End of the tour on the road and we let it all hang out. There was a goodbye party at a bar in Soulard for an old shop employee. There was also a free concert downtown for the reunion of Toad the Wet Sprocket, which was awesome. So a group of us spent the night in high style, PBR and all.

Highlight of the evening...
After the concert they set off a great little fireworks display over the water, which was especially great because i did not get to see fireworks on the forth. The clan, down by the river, sans the van...
I call this one "mom would be proud"
After the fireworks we were approached by this woman who wanted to know if we wanted backstage passes for a Meet and Greet of the bands. Well, it was probably the greatest thing that happened to Kyle, Kev and Jenna as they are big fans. I was just along for the ride.
Everyone with Big Head Todd and Toad the Wet Sprocket. Pretty great experience all the way around, even if i didn't really know them...

End of the night dance party
Yes, that is a tambourine i am playing. And apparently this is the most fun i have ever had! There was a band playing in the front room of Llwelynns and i took it upon myself to play all the percussion instruments that they were not. That included an egg shaker and a tambourine. Kyle and Jenna are dancing in the background.
another fabulous percussion moment...
random dance floor picture
And finally, who can resist a Kevin sandwich? I guess me.

Out in the city of...corn?
After a whirlwind tour with Sunday through the greater Chicago, UP, Wisconsin, and finally Duluth areas, Brian and I had a night to meet up with some of his old friends in Des Moines before starting out on the next leg. Here is a shot of the group...

an update on the wandering...
I decided i should probably post some sort of update on my life as i have not blogged FOREVER! Truth is, i never want to blog without some primo pictures and i have not been shooting the way i would want to lately. I have pretty much been on the road since i came back down to the lower 48. For those who do not know, i took a job with Marmot/Montrail repping the midwest with two other great people, Brian and Sunday. I have been on the job now for about a month and time has been crazy!
As such, i am currently without home, though i hope to make St. Louis a stomping ground come fall...or winter...or maybe next spring. Whatever makes the most sense finacially.
So far the rep life has been good. A lot of information, a lot of travel (been back to St. Louis for 4 days since i started...been on the road the whole time). Our territory is quite large, 13 states, but it is a great way to see some beautiful country. The upper Peninsula of Michigan is gorgeous, Wisconsin is God's country and then there' s North Dakota...yep, not a lot to say about North Dakota.
If you guys want to see more stuff, the company website is www.goaao.com and we have a blog now too, if i ever updated that. That one is www.aaotalesfromtheroad.com. Check it out, i have been putting a few more related pics on that one. I will put more on soon, but until then, please enjoy the beautiful lake superior fog and sailboat race.
