Finally getting around to blogging

We're getting ready to leave for our Wild West Tour, and I'm steadily crossing things off the to-do list.

This tour is a little unlike other tours we've taken, as we'll have many more days off to hike/camp/explore/adventure out in the wilds of New Mexico and West Texas.  This means we'll be taking camping gear with us for the first time on tour, which has lead to may more packing and logistical planning for me.

Oh, by the way, "Me" is Sarah, the lead singer of Shivering Timbers.

Jayson, Dan, Sarah

Anyway, back to the packing.  We decided to get our own tent instead of borrowing one, which made me and Jayson feel like proud new home-owners all over again.  The thing is huge, fits 8 people.  So we're thinking of hiring more bandmates along the way just to fill it. 

It engulfed our entire living room.

But I like to nest, so having this much space in which to do so makes me really happy.  Last time we camped was at a festival in Rhode Island in a too-tiny tent, smashed against the walls and each other, elbows in ribs, feet in face.  It was one of the worst nights of sleep.
I'll post pictures of the massive tent in action somewhere in the desert. For now, it's back to work, I have packing to do.
