This Past Weekend in IL
Tue., Sep. 22. 2009 9:12am EDT
That Denzel Washington guy won't leave us alone. When we played in Emporium PA a week ago, they were shooting his latest movie there. When we played in Olney IL this past Friday, they showed one of his classic movies, Remember the Titans, on an outdoor screen immediately following our performance.
Of course, we're Pittsburgh Steelers fans, so we remember the Titans. They're the guys who stomped on our Terrible Towels. We just played them a week ago. :)
Our outdoor concert in Olney had an estimated attendance of between 750 and 1000 people, most of whom had never seen ApologetiX live before. The concert the following day in Highland IL (near Saint Louis MO) was indoors, and we used the occasion to debut a number of new songs.
Here's a nice email from a fan who saw us in Olney:Once again you guys were GREAT!!! Hope to see you again when your'e in the area.
Joe Wall
