We were up next, and played one of our best sets ever. The energy was through the roof, or in this case the basement, and a lot of dancing was taking place.
We also met this local fellow named Jake who ran to his house twice to pick up an extra mic and boomstand for us. Thanks, Jake!
Before the show, neighbor Enos came and chatted with us for a bit. He introduced himself as an alcoholic and was sipping his own bottle of "Dark Eyes" vodka. He brought over a photo album and showed us pictures from throughout his life as a mechanic and as a military man. He also told a lot of great stories, especially one about being the only guy to ever get let out of jail on July 4th weekend in some small, notoriously tough town in Alabama because he was slightly less drunk than everyone else in the car he'd been driving and the cops wanted them all out of there. But Enos eventually ran out of vodka and had to interrupt his storytelling to run out and get another bottle! Hilarious.
