Big Rock In Little Rock

I wonder if the line "Little Rock? More like BIG Rock tonight!" has ever been used from the stage by a band in Little Rock.
The White Water Tavern may be my new favorite place in America. Probably the most fun I've ever had playing music....it's a decent-sized dive bar with a huge stage and an impossible-to-find location. We got there and thought we'd be playing in front of the 15 elder gentlemen sitting around smoking cigarettes. The only person under the age of 40 was our marvelous bartender Jane. We instantly loved Jane.
But by the time 10pm rolled around, the old men had left and were replaced by a large crowd of Arkansas hipsters. It was $3.50 pitchers of beer night (and I think free cigarettes....every single person in Little Rock smokes).
We played for a couple hours again, and the people could not have been more fun. People danced, people shouted, people got right up to the stage and yelled things to me, Dylan, Kristy - about the Muppets, about her dress, about our music - it was an event. Impressive levels of enthusiasm. As we were told, "people in Little Rock just love music." Dylan and I insisted we dedicate a song to Jane (Dylan didn't know "Sweet Jane", dammit)....which "completely embarrassed the hell out of her", not least of all because Kristy doesn't really have any happy songs. When we finally had to leave, we headed out to Matt's house, the owner of the bar. Who just happens to live with our new best friend Jane. They were gracious hosts and I (finally) got to share a queen-sized bed with Dylan.
Our plans to get to Hot Springs early today to bathe didn't happen.

Here's a review of the Fayetteville show.
