DL: Yung Joc doesn't share (Tour Day #3)




Three nights down, 7 to go, and I'm already in mourning about the tour being almost half over. I'm back in Nashville at my apartment, it's 1:44am and I'm half watching some movie on tbs...thinking to myself, I don't like NOT being on the road, at least not right now. I just got a very, very small taste and now it's like I'm a crackhead in detox..."ay, got any of them dates...what u want for those coffee shops???" I'm restless. But oh well, gotta get this new website up and the master copy of the JE recording wrapped up this week, plus substitute teach a day or two for rent sake. Ok so Bowling Green. So I call Al while we're in Lexington and tell him don't eat too much b/c there's this catfish place right off the Bowling Green exit that I never get a chance to go to, and we're going ASAP! So that's wut we did, ate, very good...Al will give you the full course rundown of that particular eating experience...classic. So the show was on Western KY University's campus...and we walk in to the campus venue and it's cool, actually kinda cold, but I adjust. I'm excited b/c we're playing next to a Subway...no silly not a Subway system where people of all nationalities are transported under roadways and skyscrappers...sub sandwich Subway. Inside the student center. I'm like, fine with me...smells good. Long story short, Lauren (lead singer of headlining band NoizeJoi) says it's been heavily promoted but not many folks are showing so far. Then I remember receiving a text message from my cousin/WKU student last week saying sumthin like "hey, you know there's ALOT going on this weekend on campus". I dismissed it....but there were. Formal balls, Frat parties, and the kicker Yung Joc, who decides to make a pit stop in Bowling Green on the same night. Didn't he get the facebook post! Darnell Levine is this weekend!!! Yung Joc fans are my fans too...right!???...(long pause)...the show was good, switched the set list up some, my fellows college peers were very polite in letting me play new songs. And NoizeJoi rocked it. First week down...NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
