The Final Four
Posted by Matt on Oct 15, 2009
Are we really down to the final four days? That’s incredible. As always, the Fair has proven to be a unique experience. The days start melding together in my mind, unable to distinguish what happened yesterday from 11 days ago. And to think on Monday, it’s back to “regular” life; as if life can ever be truly regular to a full-time bagpiper. Better have another corny dog before it’s all over. Now here’s hoping the sun comes back today!

We’re back everybody. Sorry for the delay since our last State Fair update…but we had to swim back to the stage after all the rain. Man…this year sure holds the record for least number of sunny days over the course of the fair. But, oddly enough, we’re still getting in most (if not all) of our sets every day. Not to mention our daily rubbing of elbows with all the celebrities. Read the rest of this entry »
Day 11: Back on course
Posted by Brek on Oct 5, 2009
Today was an amazing day at the great State Fair of Texas. Day 11 brought us the threat of rain all day with only once a bit of a mist happening. So…we came off Day 10 full of rain and some cancelled shows, into a great day of cool weather and no rain…and were able to rip through all 5 shows today. The audiences Read the rest of this entry »

Day 10. Today’s theme: Rain. It’s been pretty soggy the past few days. Yesterday was the Grambling vs. Prairie View football game in the Cotton Bowl, and we were able to play 2 sets. But the day for us got cut short due to constant rain. Bummer we missed the halftime show. Today…the rain continues. Sitting. Waiting. Hoping. And more waiting. So…to pass the time, we’re gonna Read the rest of this entry »
10 down…110 to go
Posted by Tim on Sep 26, 2009
So we just finished the 2nd day of our 24-day run at the State Fair. You might think that after 10 years this would get old. But it doesn’t. It truly is one of the highlights of my year. And seeing thousands of people EVERY day diggin’ on the music is quite a thrill. Yesterday saw a great turnout for opening day, and we already have seen alot of familiar faces and signed alot of CDs. With 5 shows a day, Read the rest of this entry »
