DAY ONE MOLINE ILL. FRIDAY AT THE QUAD CITIES CONVENTION CENTER. GRUPO VIDA ARRIVED IN MOLINE ON THURSDAY MORNING AFTER LEAVING SAN ANTONIO ON WED MORNING. GRUPO VIDA IS HAPPY TO SAY THAT EVERYONE THAT IS WORKING ON THE FLY TOUR HAS ACCEPTED THEM WITH OPEN ARMS, TIM VILANUEVA STATES, EVERYONE IS VERY FRIENDLY AND KIND HEARTED. WE ARE WORKING WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE, THAT IT IS HARD TO REMEMBER EVERYONES NAMES. BUT WE SURE CAN'T FORGET THEIR FACES. THE PRODUCTION COMPANY SHOW CO. ARE VERY COOL TO WORK WITH. I CAN'T REMEBER SEEING SO MANY BUSSES AND EIGHTEEN WHEELERS IN MY LIFE AT ONE PLACE. IT IS GREAT, THEY HAVE AN IN HOUSE DOCTOR IF WE GET SICK, AND WE HAVE ALL DAY CATERING, THEY ALSO FURNISH OUR DRESSING ROOMS WITH SOFAS, CHAIRS, AND BURNING CANDLES, THEY MAKE US FEEL AT HOME. AFTER HANGING AROUND THE CONVENTION CENTER ALL DAY, WE DID OUR SOUND CHECK, AND WAITED FOR SHOW TIME. WE GOT DRESSED, PRAYED, AND WALKED UP TO THE STAGE. WE PLAYED TO A SOLD OUT CROWD OF 18,000 PEOPLE. WE THANK THE LORD ABOVE THAT EVERYONE RESPONDED POSITIVELY. EVERYONE TOLD US THEY LOVED OUR PERFORMANCE. EMILY, AND MARTIE WATCHED OUR PERFORMANCE FROM THE SIDE OF THE STAGE. THEY TOLD US THEY LOVED THE SHOW. ALL IN ALL IT IS GREAT TO BE TOURING WITH THIS AWESOME BAND. WE WILL BE HEADING TO AIMES IOWA TO PLAY OUR SECOND SHOW OF THE TOUR. WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED OF HOW EVERYTHING IS GOING. SEE YOU SOON.
DAY TWO AMES IOWA, GRUPO VIDA PLAYED TO ANOTHER DIXIE CHICKS SOLD OUT CROWD OF 11,500 PEOPLE. THE PEOPLE CHEERED US ON AS WE PLAYED. WE ARE VERY HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THE CROWD RESPONSE TO TEJANO MUSIC IS GREAT. WE ARE BEING ACCEPTED WITH OPEN MINDS , AND ARMS FROM EVERYONE. AFTER WE WERE DONE WE WATCHED THE CHICKS PERFORM, AND AT THE END OF THE NIGHT, THE CHICKS HAD US A PRIVATE PARTY SO THAT WE COULD MEET WITH THEM AND THE BAND. IT WAS GREAT GETTING TO KNOW EVERYONE, THEY ARE FANTASTIC PEOPLE, VERY DOWN TO EARTH. MANY OF THE CREW TOLD US THAT WE KNOW HOW TO GET THE PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR SEATS. ONCE AGAIN WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF OUR FANS BACK IN TEXAS FOR ALL OF THE SUPPORT, AND FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO LIVE THIS DREAM. CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK TO TEXAS.
