A Thursday night when VH-1 is running their latest Rock Honors show isn't the best time to play an opening acoustic set, but this occasion wasn't too bad. I had a great time playing with Civil Twilight, a band originally from South Africa. Mark and I played an acoustic duo set. We played at Greensboro's Blind Tiger.

Thursday night's are prime temporal real estate for me. I don't like to stay out too late. My wife and I went out to dinner at 8 pm at Sticks & Stones. This place was really nice. We ordered a pizza called the Firecracker, a concoction with anchovies, bacon, and peppers. I found out later that all of the pizza varieties are named after Ryan Adams songs.

Mark and I converged on the Tiger right around 9. We did an interview with Yes! Weekly, a local magazine. I look forward to reading this article. It'll be good to have some recent press, too.

After a quick soundcheck, we eventually hit the stage at 10:30. We played for 47 minutes. Our set was

I'm Still Waiting
Hey, Angel
Flat Tire
Falling to the Ground
Sad Songs
Two Shadows
Baby, I'm Your Man
You All Everybody/See You Tonight
Walking on Broadway
Gravity Affects Me

I enjoyed the set. This set was the first time we played "Falling to the Ground," a song I wrote back in 2003. Also, "Baby, I'm Your Man" made it's first appearance in a club show at this set; we had played it at a few weddings. Also, we played the Driveshaft song, "You All Everybody" as a tag in to "See You Tonight." Great song. Driveshaft was a great band. It's a shame that Charlie died.

All in all, it was a great Thursday. Civil Twilight rocked. I wish those guys the best.
