This was during a 'gator wrestling' show. You couldn't pay me enough to do what that guy is doing.
We payed a bit of extra money and got to get within 3 feet of these gators and feed them chunks of chicken. It was really cool to see how they feed. They only eat out of the sides of their mouths and they can't see anything straight infront of them
At the feeding hole they all try to climb on top of eachother to get closer to the front. So, if you throw your piece of chiken to the back row they all splash around and fight for it!
Here's an example of them eating with the side of their mouth
Here is Shanna throwing a piece of chicken into the crowd. The only that seperated us from them was a little stick that the guide was holding - yet somehow we all felt safe. HA!
How's that for close?
Here's a good part of the group that was on tour. Nate on the left from houston texas (electric guitar), Myself (bass), Shanna (Jareds wife, and Merchandise Girl), Mike from Minnesota was flown into do a promotional video for the band and my good friend Jared (drums)




Everyday we were in florida it rained. Usually just around mid day for 2 or so hours. Except for yesterday - just after we got to feed the gators it poured rain like you would not believe - it basically poured like this late into the evening. Even the airport flooded on their bottom floor and escalators were shut down and flights were delayed! But we got home safe and sound!Who knows what my next adventure will be! There's word of an October Hawaii tour!
Till Next Time,
Steve
