Josh Rouse - 9/20-9/21/07 - Boise, Oregon, almost Seattle

Sept. 20 - Day off in Boise, Idaho. We drove through beautiful Oregon.  Watched a documentary on song poems called Off the Carts. I highly recommend it.  Attempted to eat at an Outback Steakhouse, but there was a 45 minute wait.  Woke up in Bothell, Washington right next to an Outback Steakhouse.  It’s like it’s playing with us.

Sept. 21- For some reason, I thought this was Seattle.  We were actually 40 min. north playing in a brand new performing arts theater next to a high school.  This was their first concert of the season and the staff was nice and accommodating, but slightly uptight.  No booze, no big deal. My cousin, Jeremy Rouse, and his girlfriend drove four hours to see us.  I told him to bring his guitar and play on “Love Vibration.” He did, and was very good.  Jason Collett sounded great in this space.  Unfortunately, there weren’t very many people.  It’s one of those “member supported” events and the tickets were 30 dollars.  Half the audience were senior citizens.
