Granola, Iowa!

Okay, then city is not actually called Granola, it is something like Granule, or Granole, or whatever. The only reason I mention this city is because we stopped at a Kum & Go Convenience store...yes, it really does exist.
Yesterday I had a shoot with the bands The Desolate in Burlington Iowa and Kidnap The Sun in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
When Nate and I were about to roll into Iowa, we both had the mindset of "Iowa's going to suck", mainly because we had no idea what as in Iowa. To our surprise, Burlington Iowa was the coolest little city ever, comparable to Silvertown in Joe Dirt.
The dudes in The Desolate are all super chill dudes, and they all are super hilarious. We had the opportunity of having a shoot while a shirtless Indian watched with his tiny cut-off jeans from inside a building. I'm sure he was just making sure nothing fishy was going, otherwise he would have to go and warn the others.
Then, we went to Cedar Rapids, Iowa for a shoot with Kidnap The Sun. Those guys are all super fun to hang with, and we ended up getting some shots in Cedar Rapids only Hip-Hop club, Club 616. (616 is the address of the building, -3 points for unoriginality.)
Then we went back to Brent's place and got some more shots, then enjoyed the always tasty Perkins.
Now we're on our way to Omaha, Nebraska to shoot The Legacy Virus, and then Superior.
Then the following day we will undergo the grueling 8 hour drive to Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Until Next time,
Rocky Morgan
