waffles

so we played in syracuse ny last night... it was the first time i have ever stepped on to a stage to play a show and have been overwhelmed with the smell of waffles... yes you read that correctly waffles. not beer, whiskey, or the normal dank smells of a rock n roll venue... but waffles. the venue, a room called 'funk n waffles' hides no suprises in its name... between sets they play old 70s funk music on the PA and the also serve waffles and other food items. ryan our tour manager got a plate of fried chicken and waffles... this is a combination of foods that i will never understand. i mean when presented on a plate... it is just that... friend chicken atop waffles... its served with both syrup and hot wing sauce. i dunno about it all... still seems strange to me.

ohhh also... the night before we had a day off and we stayed in Erie PA (it was halfway between where we were and where we needed to be). we walked to a bar across the street from our hotel to find ourselves entering in to a country karaoke bar... yep... a country karaoke bar in pennsylvania... it was comforting to find the fruits of home just a few paces away.
