Antsy and Troubs - E-town,KY Oct 16,17,18, 2009 - Page 3

Just a few more days. I received an email from Antsy indicating he is playing a solo show on Friday night in Frankfort, KY. Frankfort is about a 1 - 1/2 hour drive from Elizabethtown. Anybody crazy enough to go to both shows?

We saw him solo a year or so ago and the show was very good. More acoustic, more introspective, a little slower pace when compared to a show with the band.

We'll be in Frankfort visiting family on Friday, so we're thinking about double duty. $15 tickets for the Frankfort show.

We've decided to stay with family in Frankfort, so we won't be at the campground. We'll still be at the dinner and concert Saturday, so hopefully we can swing by the campground prior to showtime.

Ike T - thank you for the update. I understand your hesitance to drive in the rain. I'm not looking forward to it either (we leave tomorrow), but it's beginning to clear so I am crossing my fingers and hoping for good weather.

What about the Friday show? I'm still interested and so is Danielle. Call us and let us know your thoughts about Friday - the coffee house / solo show will be very intimate compared to the Saturday show.

Rhonda - when are you arriving at the campground? I may have said earlier (above post?) that we will arrive on Thursday afternoon/evening. We have a commitment on Thursday evening but Friday is open and so is Saturday. Let us know your plans. Are you and your husband crazy enough to attend the Friday show in Frankfort?

We will not have access to internet beginning tomorrow (Thursday) AM. After that you'll need to contact us by cell phone.

It will be late Friday when we arrive. I have tried to talk him into leaving work early but I have not been able to convince him. So a Friday show would be out of the question. I guess I have probably failed to mention the whole family is coming so we have kids in tow! I know I'm crazy but I've been wanting to attend a concert for a while and didn't want to wait until January.

We're home safely. We did "double duty with Antsy".

The differences between his solo performance and performance with the band made seeing both shows worth it.

Good to catch up with everyone on both nights. Next time, we'll make it a point to camp.

It was good to meet you, and everyone else! Antsy was great as always.. We got "half credit" for the rally, since we made it to the rally site, sans trailer... Did anyone get a look at Antsy's rig inside? We have a single friend looking for something small and retro...

The Troub's will be here again in April....

We made it home!! What a whirlwind trip but we sure did "enjoy the ride"! I think I enjoyed meeting you all as much as I enjoyed the show. Thanks again to Lucius and Danielle for getting this together. I still can't understand why no one else wanted to come! They missed a great show.

In some ways that did seem like a whirlwind trip. We planned on two days for the return trip so we have just now arrived at home.

We had a wonderful time and certainly enjoyed our time together. Maybe the Bluegrass and Dogwoods rally will fit into our plans next year, or the Metro Detroit rally.

All you folks who were not able to attend... check www.unhitched.com to see when Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadours are coming your way. And, if they're not in your backyard - they are worth the drive.

Ike T, Dakota's Dad, Rhonda - I know we'll see you again sometime down the road.
