So this weekend we played in Oklahoma City. It was a blasty for sure. Tapwerks, which will probably be our new home in the City of Oklahoma, was more than receptive and flat out awesome. We would like to thank everyone that came out as well as Box Talent for hookin us up with the show yo.

Everything was ALMOST normal about the preshow. The whole loading in down the insane ramp and into the ancient elevator that was older than the act up "up." It was a lot of fun. Nothing crazy though. No Elvis impersanator complaing about TFN wanting to "move his stuff, its his stuff," being a glass of water and a stool, like their was in Memphis. Or the 100% Navajo/Cherokee/I can't remember dude that we met outside the Bricktown Brewery (first time in OKC) that yelped, yes yelped, in a drunken fashion when we asked him questions about himself. He was proud of who he was and we are sure he is very happy right now. I guess there is also the guy at the Gypsy in Fayetteville who had no interest in seeing us before we played, that was of course until we told him we played AC/DC. This guy was a cowboy from 1971. He ended up getting kicked out of the bar before we played the song. I guess I have to mention the drnuk biker at Cool Water who danced as if he were in heaven, which would probably include LSD, during Hotel California, which was being played during a Chad and Travis show in 2005. I could go on forever. I shalln't.

All I can say, is that this show, with Matt Jones included in it, was probably one of the most fun shows TFN has ever had. Everything from stump the band to the Dave Matthews jam with Matt. In was tons of fun and we all laughed so hard we almost wet ourselves on many an occasion. I will show you a video that has crazy weirdness on the way to the show. This might be an indication of how strange the show ended up. Enjoy.
