we said our goodbyes to our new Wilmington friends, then followed their directions to the beach as we thought this might be our best opportunity to taste the Atlantic Ocean.
it had been really warm and sunny the day before, but the weather had turned quite cold and windy this day, making our beach experience not so beachy. good news was that we were pretty much the only ones out. needless to say, we didn't go swimming, mainly because the waves and currents looked pretty nasty, but the chill didn't help either. i did, however, roll my pants up and do some wading. love the ocean. the wind put the salt water on our lips and in our hair. was fairly close to swimming. got some sand between my toes. we wandered the beach collecting shells for about an hour in the wind, then headed for cover and some clam chowder at a nearby cafe. then hit the road for Greenville.
Maple Stave from Durham, NC opened the show with some good 'ol post-rock glory. Rad stuff. Trio. Two guitars and drums. minimal vocals. pretty epic construction and delivery. great art and design on their merch too. we had a good time with them. look em up: www.myspace.com/maplestave
Our set was fun. Definitely appreciated all the enthusiasm of those there. Awesome Heroes followed with their awesomeness. It was a night of trios. Hard to pin them
Post-show might have been the highlight though as we busted into some late night photo shoots and human pyramids. giggling all the way to the bank. felt like family. hard to believe we live so far away. check out the Awesome Finn Riggins Heroes photos... aren't we a cute couple?
and some more show photos:
