Day 7: Atlanta, GA

The day started off like any other. We set up merch, brought our gear to the stage and sweat profusely. Our day differed when we played an acoustic set in the Kia Motors tent. We were joined by a bunch of kids under the red/orange tent for a more subdued version of our set.

After Kia we headed over to our stage to start setting up. Much to our dismay, the skies had started turning darker and there seemed to be a subtle panic happening within merch tents and behind backstage. Everyone was prepping for a storm. By the time we took the stage, there was no doubt that there was something mean coming. Right in the middle of our set the storm hit with all it fury. raging winds and rain were accompanied by thunder and lighting (which was striking far too close). halfway through our last song the power was cut because it became too dangerous. Fans were ushered away an merch sales plummeted.

The one redeeming quality of the day: backstage BBQ. That and a much needed day off.
