been busy...

... sorry... been bad about posting the last week. its been quite busy. i'll do a brief recap;

nyc day 1- day off... it was so cold that we were forced to stay in doors all day. coldest day in nyc all year from what we heard. snow snow snow.

nyc day 2- GREAT show at the mercury lounge. we love that venue... such an amazing place. played with some great bands... God or Julie opened the show and were brilliant. their guitar players amp exploded in sound check so he used out back up amp... we try to be the band with a backup for pretty much everything... amps, cables, even socks.

anyway... love nyc, wish we could have stayed longer. only bad thing about nyc is having a big ole van and trailer... its a bit of a pain but we managed. our tour manager ryan knows someone in every city and was able to secure us a great place to stay with his friend (and now our friend) Lea who has a great little apartment in queens with a driveway where we were able to park our big beast of a van and trailer. she also has charpe dog... awesome day, but never seemed to warm up to us... it was unfortunate. she had an amazingly schrunched face.

washington DC... great show at the rock n roll hotel. very enthusiastic crowd... also some old friends came out to the show... great getting to hang with folks. after the show we loaded up and went to a bar called tattoo that Sonnys friend (and now our collective friend) Patrick owns. This was an amazing place... VIP treatment... im not normally in to DJ's, but we went and hung out up in the DJ booth and watched this guy spin... he was sick... just sick... he amazed us all. When we walked in to the bar the dj started blasting 'portrait of a summer thief' and then scratching etc on top of it... it was actually really damn cool.

philly... it was valentines day. not many folk go out to rock clubs on valentines day so it was a meager crowd. we played a great show though regardless... we just love being on stage no matter what.

day off... drove to richmond VA... did laundry, ate bison burgers and took it easy. and yes... i did just say ate bison burgers... they were great.

today... drove to Wilmington North Carolina... right now we're just chilling in the venue (which doubles as a laundromat... yep... laundromat... we should have waited to do laundry till today). interesting place.. should be a good night regardless though. Several of the guys watched the second episode of this seasons LOST and said its amazing... im watching it in the van tomorrow on the drive to Florida. I cant wait... im obsessed with LOST. i think my time travel theory has been blown out though... we shall see.

ok my chic file dinner just arrived... im going to go and do some eating. more soon.
