Adam’s crazy schedule in December 2008
MondayMe Mark and Robin flew to San Jose this evening where we met back up Shelley. It was great to see her in the airport, kinda felt like the whole family reunion type thing. We got ourselves a rental vehicle and had what we call our SUSHI night . Everytime you put us three together you know for sure there is gonna be a sushi feast somewhere. After dinner we went back to the hotel and got a good nights sleep that was much needed. We want to be ready to wow the Itunes folks tomorrow morning so I’m gonna sign off now and get this so called beauty sleep, God only knows I need it lol. Talk to yall later.TuesdayThis morning we started the day in San Jose doing an acoustic set for Itunes. They were having end of the year meetings and a few different artist had the opportunity to perform for the gang there. Afterwards we got on a plane to Riverside California where we met back up with the band and did a show for KFRG that night at the Brandin Iron Saloon. It was a great show and again we had a blast! Some friends from the Academy of Country music even came out from LA so it was nice to get to hang with them a little before the show. Some friends of mine from Canada, The Road Hammers were nice enough to do the show with us and the crowd loved them! That night after the show we stayed the night and the next morning we were off to LA.< SPAN style=”mso-spacerun: yes”> Here we come Hollywood!! WednesdayToday Shelley, Mark and Myself along with Larry the Big Machine rep made a day trip into L.A. There Mark and I played acoustically a couple songs at the R&R building, which is the company that writes and prints The Billboard Magazines and is incharge of the R&R charts. Everybody there was nice and we have actually been trying to get a time together to get in there to meet them, so I’m glad we were given the opportunity today. After that we grabbed some lunch a Thai restaurant. I had a rice with chicken dish which was actually really good! From there we made the 3 hour trip back to Bakersfield where we’re gonna play at the Crystal Palace tonight!!! I’m really excited to be playing ther. I remember coming through Bakersfield a number of months ago and at that t ime was given a tour of the palace as well.ThursdayWe drove all through the night last night from Bakersfield to Reno Nevada. We were part of special event, The Bull’s first Jinglebell bash and it really was nice turnout! Outback steakhouse took care of us and about 80 winners and while they were eating we were their half hour entertainment. I was able to joke with and just really feel comfortable with the crowd there. Brad and Derek from the Bull were so awesome, they came on the bus and we all chatted for a bit before the show. After we got through singing Outback took care of the bands meal as well and it was quite the feast. Now I’m back on the bus and I have the rest of the day to just relax and get some stuff done. I think we’re going to d inner tonight with Derek from the station, so that will be cool. Not sure what we have planned, I think Larry the Big Machine rep put the bug in Dereks ear that we liked to bowl, so we may do that I don’t know. Anyways I hope you all have a great evening and I will talk to you soon. God Bless!FridayFriday morning I went by the The Bull in Reno and did an on air interview. Mark and I played a Christmas song on air ( Blue Christmas) and it went over very well. Then we hit the road to San Jose and headed to KRTY, where I played in the board room to a bunch of the staff there. Nate and Tina were just a few in the audience and they are very supportive towards my music! From there we made our way over to the venue for soundcheck and a little bit of down time before the show. Club Rodeo was awesome and fed all of us dinner! The show was awesome and I remembered playing there before opening up for Josh Gracin so it was nice to be back again! I want to mention that a very dedicated fan of the band, Christina, flew down from Canada to attend the show. This is now her second time coming down to see us and she told us that she spent $500 on an airline ticket, so the least that we could do is make her feel welcome and get her into the show. It was real nice to see a familiar face from back home and to top it off she bought us $100 Starbucks gift card… We love our Starbucks!! After the show we all had to pack up what we need cause the bus was dead heading it all the way to New York and we all stayed the night there in San Jose at the hotel. SaturdayWoke up early this morning and drove to Santa Maria for an acoustic show with Sunny Country! It was held in the Hyundai parking lot and played there to a nice little crowd. We did a 45 minute acoustic set and everyone there seemed to really enjoy it and so did we! Sunny Country at that show drew for a winner to come to dinner with us that night and a lucky winner in the front row along with her daughter won the draw. After the set we had a little bit of down time for about an hour and half, so we used that time and took a drive to Pismo Beach and walked around enjoying the scenery from pier. Shelley and I got a little hungry to so we both got hold me over corndogs and I got a hot Chocolate while she got a coke. I pretty much inh aled my corndog to the point of almost choking so I had to steal the coke out of her hand and wash down the corndog that was stuck in my throat… not to fun! From there we drove back to the hotel to pick up Puff daddy who you would know as Mark of the band and we made our way to the radio station to meet JT. We followed JT from the station to a famous restaurant called the Hitching Post! Many many celebrities have dined here, one of my favorites being John Candy. It was an amazing dinner and an amazing time being able to visit with JT and Nikki and the two winners Heidi and Shianne. I would definitely like to go back to that place and not to mention they have the best artichokes in the world!! We visited for a good little while and then hit the road run ning to LA where we stayed the night. The morning we got up and caught a flight home to Nashville!! I also want to mention that on this flight I became a part time flight attendant. It was a coincindence that the flight attendants names were Adam and Rob so Robin and I were asked to hand out peanuts and crackers. In return I got plastic Southwest wings that I earned along with a coloring book and drink coupons which I will more then likely give aways as stocking stuffers at Christmas to some of my band members! I hope you’ve all had a great week and I will fill you in all next as to what I’m doing. Thankyou and God Bless!ag)
