Donna The Buffalo – January 30, 2010 Lincoln Theater Raleigh, N.Carolina Hey All! Awoke to find the entire Raleigh area shut down. It was only 4-5 inches of icy snow but they don’t know how to deal with it down here. They really don’t know how to drive in this stuff, nor do they have the snow removal capabilities that we Northerners do. Jordy & i, along with the hotel tried all morning but we couldn’t get a cab to make the 5 mile trip to pick us up. Thanks to some friends & their big ‘ol 4WD for rescuing us. On the short trip into Raleigh i counted no less than 15 separate spinouts & accidents in the snow & ice. Raleigh was actually quite beautiful covered in snow & ice & there were a few things open. We found a Cajun restaurant, The Big Easy & had a great meal, Abita beer, & a soundtrack that included Keith Frank, Boozoo Chavez, etc. “The weather outside is frightful In here it’s so delightful” If the band had not been already set up & ready to play, the venue would’ve canceled this show. You really couldn’t have blamed them. It was downright dangerous out there. But you knew Donna The Buffalo was gonna play. It didn’t matter if it was just the people who could walk to the venue, they were gonna play. The Lincoln Theater holds around 900-1,000 people & i’m thinkin’ only 200-300 souls braved the storm & made it to the party. WE WERE GREATLY REWARDED. From the 1st note to the last, this night was 1 for the ages!
