Doppler, A Roadies View

So this is where I live....

No not the place in the picture. That is the venue at the Toledo Zoo. Yes, they have a concert venue inside the zoo. Kind of cool actually.

This recent leg of the tour wrapped up on Saturday night and I returned home on Sunday. After nearly three months without seeing home, I am now sleeping in my own bed.

The band heads to Europe next week for 7 or 8 shows. I will not be going which is sort of fine with me since I can use a break. I was offered a job with another band doing a three week Canadian tour starting today. The timing was perfect since I was going to be off during this time period, but I passed for several reasons.

I will head back out with Finger Eleven again at the end of June. It is more festival dates and a run of shows with Seether. Then it looks like shows with Three Doors Down who we have done some festival dates with recently.

In the meantime it's back to doing normal everyday stuff. It is always strange when you come off a long tour. Your home life seems to have stood still. It's hard to believe how much time has actually passed. I am trying to get put some things in order. Deal with some financial things and maybe do a few home improvement projects.

Let the decompressing begin.
