Wednesday, March 3, 2010South East Triple Sell Out Well, the South East leg of the tour is definitely off to a great start. Our first ever show in Nashville brought out one of the biggest crowds east of the Rockies. The guys at Fly South told us they were going to give the shops on the west coast a run for their money and they definitely brought their A game and the Belcourt Theater was filled to capacity. The Plaza Theater in Atlanta reached max capacity as well. We want to thank the Fish Hawk, Cohutta Fishing Company and the Patagonia Store of Atlanta for selling advance tickets prior to our arrival. The crowd was fantastic and the show was awesome. The only problem is that Jay still is having trouble finding some boiled peanuts, but we have a day off for him to work his way into the underground Georgia peanut cartel. We will be heading east over to Charleston SC for the show on Thursday. Online ticket sales are sold out for the Charleston show, but their still may be a few tickets available at the Charleston Angler. See you in Charleston on Thursday.

Sunday, February 14, 2010Northwest Seattle and Portland are in the history books for 2010. Great shows and great people. McMenamins Bagdad Theater is one of the coolest theaters on the planet. It also helps that you can order a pizza and a pitcher and bring it to your seat while you watch the show. Portland was definitely off the hook and will go down as the biggest show to date on the tour so far.  We would like to give a shout out to the Sierra Club, Save Our Wild Salmon, The Native Fish Society, TU and FFF. It is great to have those folks show up with us at the theaters and we love to make room for them side by side with us out in the lobby. A big thank you to all these organizations that are helping spread the word about the film tour. We still have a way to go on this years schedule but we hear that the dirty south is working hard to take the podium for 2010, particularly Nashville TN. Were just hoping that the snow will be melted by the time we get there. Three more shows to go in the NW before we head down to Boise and then on to SLC. Some dates to keep in mind; 2/16 Eugene OR - The Shedd 2/17 Bend OR - Tower Theater 2/18 The Dalles OR - Granada Theater 2/20 Boise ID - Egyptian Theater 2/24 Salt Lake City UT - Tower Theater If you want to see more photos from the road you can also follow the tour on our Facebook page.

Wednesday, February 10, 2010Tour Update
Playing a little catch up on the blog post. We had back to back to back shows through Montana before heading over to Spokane.
The shows have been packed and we are getting fantastic reviews from those coming out of the theater after the show. The great thing is that we are hearing an overall satisfaction with the mix between salt and fresh water films. From Jackson to Western Australia or Canada to Argentina we pretty much have the global tour North to South, East to West on this years tour. We have been meeting great people along the way, and honestly for the crew this is one of our own personal highlights on the road. There are too many names to mention at this point but we thank all of you, especially our sponsors and the local fly shops who have given us their support. If you have been to any of the shows this far stop in to your fly shop and thank them for helping to bring the tour to your city. The highlight for today was getting our own private tour from Don and Kent over at Dry Fly Distillery in Spokane. Watching and learning how these two master craftsmen turn wheat into vodka, or juniper into gin was better than any field trip on the planet. Now if they could just figure out how to bottle the sweet scent of distilling wheat as an air freshener they could probably run Bath & Body out of business. The aroma is the first thing that grabs your attention when you walk through the door, although it probably wouldn't do so well as a car freshener. The sampling part of the tour was both educational and tasty. To put it bluntly Don and Kent are supper bad ass, and so are their spirits. Jayj (aka Graphite Samurai) put this little clip together on his iPhone from todays field trip.     D.F.O.D.M.F!
