We woke up at our good friend Michael’s house and promptly got on the road to Norman, OK…and by promptly I mean woke up, watched a couple of reality tv shows, and ate some eggs. Norman is about a 6 hour drive from Kansas City, but after taking the wrong exit and a couple of other wrong turns, it took about 8 hours. We actually took an exit called “Mainstreet” and ended up in a Very small town outside of Norman looking for the venue for awhile until we asked for directions and got laughed at in a southern accent. We arrived at Brothers on the Oklahoma University campus and started unloading our stuff. We noticed that there was no one at the bar and got kind of scared for the nights turnout. Our expectations couldn’t have been more wrong. The bar was about a block away from campus and they were running a $2 all you can drink that night. We started playing around 10:30pm to about 50 people and the crowd slowly grew to about 150 at the end. It was the usual college bar show: covers, people coming up and singing on the mic, requests, girls throwing themselves at the band. At the end of the show we packed all of our stuff up and walked around the Oklahoma University campus (which is one of the most amazing campuses I have been on, and is what some of the pictures above are from) and then headed out to our first couch surfing stop. We got to the house at about 3am and somehow our hostess was awake. Craziest thing: I was wearing a Drake shirt, and the girl that we were staying with asked us if we knew someone that went to Drake. It turns out that the one girl that she knew from highschool in a Very small town in Wisconsin dated Steve in college for awhile….strange. We swiftly went to bed and got some rest to make the haul to Fayetteville AR in the morning.
