![]() ![]() It felt like, even though we didn’t know each other at the time, we were friends for the entire 20 years prior. We went to lots more shows together naturally, but we also went to his wedding. I have to thank my wife for being the social one in our marriage, because after that show, we all became fast friends. We talked the rest of the time before the music started, hung out during all three sets, and exchanged contact information. We got to talking, and we started to realize that we’ve been going to the same shows for the last 20 odd years. Here we were, almost 300 miles from home, and the guy in the H2O shirt was also from Michigan and drove down to see Frank. As it turned out, he was just as dedicated to music as we were. She immediately went up to him and struck up a conversation. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a guy in an H2O shirt. My wife is the type of person who makes fast friends, while I’m the type of person to just stand around awkwardly in an attempt to avoid any sort of communication with people I don’t know. So, there we were, early, with plenty of time to kill. This is because of some weird anxieties about not relaxing until I get to the venue and get situated. We were in town to see Frank Turner (naturally), and we got there a bit earlier than we needed to. This time, we were at Bogart’s in Cincinnati. My wife and I found ourselves in Ohio again. Two Car Garage was no exception.įast forward one year. ![]() So many of my favorite bands now are bands I first saw opening for Frank Turner. One thing we love about Frank shows is the care he takes in picking openers. Two Cow Garage was the main support, but this show was extra special for them since that was their hometown show. In 2016, one of these road trips saw us down in Columbus, Ohio to see Frank Turner play with The Homeless Gospel Choir and Two Cow Garage. ![]() My wife and I have traveled thousands of miles to see him perform in large venues and small dive bars. He’s a musician that I have inked on my skin. If you’ve been reading some of my writing in the past, then you’ll be aware of how much Frank Turner means to me. Most of them are too busy with their phones to notice anyways.This is a story about the power of music, the power of friendship, and about how small the world really is. Just go at the pace that's comfortable for you (dont try to rush it, that always made me stall) and dont worry about the people behind you. Eventually you'll be able to bring the pedal straight to the bite point while rolling on the throttle and go without much hesitation. I found method 1 easier when I first started not too long ago.Īs for doing it quickly, it's all about getting a feel for the clutch and throttle. Method 2 seems a little faster and smoother to me and it's what I usually do now, but in the beginning I think it's better to just get comfortable and build your confidence by not stalling. So I would say stick with method 1 for a bit until you get a really good feel for the clutch and throttle. ![]() If you misjudge the bite point and pass it before giving it enough throttle, you're going to stall. Though I think that going with method 2 leaves less room for error. I've seen people do it both ways and I dont really see much of anything wrong with either. ![]()
