Sugarland

Posted on 19. Apr, 2006 by annie in Notebook

I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything in a while. I’m out on tour with the country band Sugarland and am living it up. I’m touring in between dates with Sugarland with the Sons of William and we have some awesome stuff happening at the moment. Right now I’m in Pensacola Florida opening for Kenny Chesney. We get lots of good food and the band works out together every morning. I’m limiting my drinking binges to Sons of William shows only so I’m kind of living a double life right now. Sugarland played the CMT awards last week and it was my first appearance on live TV. Oooh! It was fun. We were out in L.A. this week filming for a guest appearance on the TV show “Las Vegas”. That was pretty wild. Dean Cain was the other guest star. His teeth are beautiful. We filmed a couple of scenes, one being a “mock” rehearsal and the other being a performance. It was very surreal. I don’t know how people do the acting thing. You keep stopping and starting to get various shots and there’s no hope of being spontaneous or getting into a character. It made me pretty uncomfortable. Plus, no one really eats in L.A. which is also disturbing. I on the other hand had “In and Out Burger” for the first time in my life. I’ve been displaying the fast-food institution’s sticker on my bass since I inherited it from David Lee Watson and am coming off of 10 years of vegetarianism so I finally had an opportunity to sample their fine burgers. Mmm… It’s pretty quiet here in Sugarland. I mostly hang out in the dressing room playing the Sims or fooling around on Myspace. It’s great to play for thousands of people night after night of course and Fender has hooked me up with some great gear. Look for my ass in their catolouge next month. That’s all for now…
