Braille.... from Redding

Hello!!!  I'm going to keep this short because I'm sure me and Nikki will share some of the same stories.  April 23rd was our last day in our home.  Our house has sold and now we are living on the road.  We had most of the house packed but when your on a deadline it feels like a never ending job.  I spent the whole day packing, then drove to Portland to open for Cunnin Lynguists, then got back home and kept packing until 2:30 in the morning.  It felt crazy unplugging all my studio equipment and putting it in boxes.  This is the studio (home studio) where I recorded all the vocals for "The IV Edition".  So yeah, it was a little bit sentimental.  We had to leave the next day (April 24th) at 9 AM but we were running late.  Nikki had all the bags packed and organized - so I loaded them into our Van and we hit the road.  It was a 6 hour drive to our first show in Redding, CA.  The drive actually felt like a breeze.  Time flew by really fast.  This was my first time doing a show in Redding, and the turn out was pretty small but we felt really refreshed and encouraged from the whole experience.  There was one guy who heard of my music from the Transworld Skate Video which featured the song "keep on".  He brought a couple friends, and Jeff (the promoter) invited a lot of his friends out as well.  Most of the audience was "families" with kids.  Haha.  I was performing in a gym and the kids were running around the whole time.  Since I wasn't standing on a stage, Gabriella would run up to me while I was rapping and come dance with me.  While I performed "Blessed Man" I held her in my arms and it was really cool.  She didn't want to leave but I couldn't hold her for every song.  haha.  We stayed with Jeff's brother in law Eddie and he showed us great hospitality.  He went grocery shopping and brought us like 4 bags full of stuff.  haha.  Animal crackers, juice, cereal and stuff.  It was an unexpected blessing and we are very thankful for it.  Nikki will be on tomorrow to share more.  peace
