1. The Skylink train at DFW is fantastic.  So much better than that clunky old tram that took forever to get to another concourse.  Skylink is sleek, quick, and since it sits atop the terminals, offers great views. 
  2. Speaking of views, the new Cowboy’s stadium in Arlington is gigantic.  You can see it clearly all the way from the airport and so far it resembles the contraption they built in the movie “Contact”.  Massive.
  3. The entire airport at DFW has improved greatly.  It reminded me how I’ve always loved airports and planes since I was a kid.  Call me crazy.
  4. Omaha has a very nice Warehouse District.  Cool shops and great eats!  They are also getting some major concerts in the market.
  5. Des Moines Warehouse District is growing and looking impressive.  The city is such a great market for country music too because of stations KJJY and KHKI (The Hawk).  They support new music and help the format grow.  We just had a huge show with Emerson Drive there, which was sold out.  Thanks to everyone at the stations, especially Andy Elliot and Eddie Hatfield.  Well done!
  6. Des Moines, however, is one of the worst places to fly out of to get back to Nashville.  Always seems overly expensive.
  7. Heard some of the new music from Emerson Drive on their bus after the show.  They are going to deliver something AMAZING.  The whole band is operating on an entirely higher level.  Very exciting.
