Lost

some highlights from the past few nights...

Omaha... our tour manager Ryan flying in to meet us and walking through the door of the club mere moments before we hit stage, running to the front of house console and mixing a damn good show! good job Ryan. Opened for Ludo... that is one crazy ass and entertaining band.

Minneapolis... we played on the same stage where parts of Prince's 'Purple Rain' was filmed. how cool is that?

Chicago... sold out show at the Double Door opening for Buffalo Tom.

Colombus OH... rush on to stage for our middle slot opening for Year Long Disaster (fronted by the son of Ray Davies of the Kinks), line check, begin show... at the first downbeat of the show the power on half of the stage goes out. Lucky our amps were still function so we all quickly plugged our guitars and basses in to our amps directly (bypassing all of our fun effects and noise secrets). got through the first song and then took a moment to suss the problem. Fault wiring on the stage. Danger zone.

Toledo OH... showed up for load in at 7pm to find that an early metal show had been schedueled and we had not been informed. Came back at 10pm... loaded in to the venue in the cold and pouring rain. we were wet and exhausted but had a great show. One of the bartenders spit fire during the middle of our set and scared us all shitless. Ya, you read it right... spit fire. It was intense.

Dayton OH... there was a guy at the bar who was so intoxicated that he kept falling asleep on the bar... on the pool tables in the back... on our merch table. it was hilarious... and kind of annoying... but funny nonetheless.

Erie PA (day off). the highlight of this day... watching LOST. We are all absolutely obsessed with this show... obsessed. I have some new theories after tonights episode... it has to do with time travel... i need time to gather my thoughts, maybe i'll share them later.

heading in to New York state tomorrow... ahhhhhhh we love New York.
