Wizard Staffing
So I was introduced to something last night in Mobile Alabama that pretty much blew my mind. Its called “Wizard Staffing” and it is the combination of drinking cheap beer and larping (which if you dont know, stands for, live action role playing).

Next few days...
Just looking over our schedule for the next few days. Pensacola Fl tonight, Tampa tomorrow night then a day off. After that the fun really starts.

Our set time is at noon for Ultra Fest followed by an immediate drive of 4 hours to Orlando for load in and another show in the same day. After...

Needless to say, we are...

I love coming through here. I almost never do unless its on tour. I think i should definitely make a point to get down more often. I haven’t lived in Texas for 17 years, but there is something...
