Bailiff Tour Day Five

Posted on January 27, 2015 by Nicholas Weaver

After a great experience in Omaha, NE we hit the road for Des Moines knowing that things could get weird in Iowa and surprisingly enough, thats exactly what happened. Ren got behind the wheel of the van and led us to your standard middle of nowhere truck stop! A magical place where only the stallions and deer graze together. Tonight we are at Gabe’s in Iowa City and we’re really falling into the groove of things! Excited for another show tonight, then an off day in Iowa City!

Bailiff Tour Day Four

Posted on January 26, 2015 by Nicholas Weaver

As the tour goes on, I’m finding it hard to remember which day is which. Time seems to be going faster and faster as the tour progresses. As a result, my current feeling is that I could get used to this lifestyle for longer stretches of time. I’m curious if these feelings will change over the next few days!

We arrived in Omaha, NE and really enjoyed our time there. The Slowdown was an amazing venue and had an incredibly hospitable staff and greenroom, equipped with showers, laundry room, plush couches and vintage record players. No question, if the opportunity arises to play there again, it would be a go for sure! Omaha, was one of the two stops on this tour, we didn’t have sleeping accommodations lined up! Despite the odds, Josh (Bailiff’s lead singer) persuaded some gracious folks (The Decaturs) who performed a set just before Bailiff, to offer up their cozy couches to us. The rest of the tour we are good to go on crash spots so it should be smooth sailing from here on out. Tonight, we are in Des Moines, Iowa at the Vaudeville Mews… Lets do this.

Road Trip 2012

Posted on April 9, 2014 by Nicholas Weaver

Tonight I decided to go through both of my computers and do some spring cleaning, ya know, the every couple month purge of files you once thought you needed to keep! Right around thirty minutes into my hard drives is about when I found all those files I kept but have zero use for. Well this time around I not only purged the files, I also came across old photos I took just over two years ago when my good friend Evan Perigo and I went on a two and half week road trip. I can’t begin to write up or describe half of the events which took place, but what I can say is that these pictures, or potentially this never ending winter, have stirred up the travel bug inside of me. I think I’ve always been someone who can’t really every sit still or stay in one place for too long without getting antsy.

Below are some of the shots, and as I continue to go through more of my files Im hoping to find a few others I can add to this post.
