    Right?!?! I got a pic and when I looked at it I realized it was a double rainbow! And it stuck around for a long time.

    Being a rare show were I got to sleep in my own bed 20 min after hitting the highway, I want to give a huge thanks to everybody who came into town to rock out and see the shows. Met awesome people in the merch line and around our seats.

    And a HUGE thanks to PJ for coming to Raleigh and making it two memorable nights.  Amazing stuff.

    Until next time, rock on and stay safe out there!

    Raleigh 2 was fantastic! I’ve been wanting a Setting Sun opener since the first time I heard the song. I can’t believe we got it 😁. I love the Dark Matter album but we saw 5 shows last fall so it was nice to see them shake up the setlist. They really sounded good and the crowd was awesome.  Flew into town yesterday and headed downtown for a late lunch before the show.  Very appreciative of all the locals who offered tips on food and beverage. We went to Clyde Cooper’s BBQ and loved it.  We walked around a bunch before grabbing a caffeine boost at Sir Walter’s (the Ghostface Killa iced coffee is highly recommended). 

    We had a short drive to the arena and got online for the doors to open around 4:45. We were pretty close to the front.  When they opened the doors we bypassed the first merch table and went to the next one.  There was almost no one there. We were about 10 people back and the line moved super quick.  Was able to get a token (limit of one), poster, stickers, and shirts for the kids back home.  The tokens sold out a couple people after me.  I could hear people being told they were sold out while I was rolling the poster.  That means they had like 20 tokens or so in total.  I don’t get it.  

    We’re grabbing some breakfast shortly at the hotel and then heading out for more local stuff today and tomorrow. Thank you, Raleigh!!

    Great show, agree Setting Sun was a fantastic opener!

    Thanks PJ for bringing your light to Raleigh. The "long goodbyes" talk was a little worrisome NGL.

    Had a great 26 hours in Raleigh for the Sunday show. Daughter and I walked around UNC and NC State (in the rain), had some great sandwiches and pimento at State of Beer and a good lunch at Bru’s on our way to the airport. Everyone we met was welcoming and I’d be happy to return anytime!
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Definitely a great time and net some fine folks. 

    Raleigh - while we didn't get to experience the entire city, what we saw was nice and clean. The people all over were quite friendly as well. And to those at the Lenovo center: you are fantastic! The nicest overall employees I've come across at a professional venue. Jokes/storytelling/wellness checks/complimentary water for those in the GA pit...just thoroughly impressed.

    This is true! The staff was super-friendly and helpful and the water by the GA was such a great idea! Unfortunately they had run out by the end of the show, but I guess that means that GA people were well hydrated 😆
