Tour: DAY TEN

So....let's start with Richmond, where I left off. Show was kinda bo-bo, in that we didn't play until midnight after 3 local openers and played for about 15 people. It's all good. Played like there was 100. Always.
Then, we headed to a bar, had a few, and the boutique owner allowed us to stay at the store, unsupervised. Bad idea girl. So..there was a box of wine, a case of beer, some opium and weed, and a shit load of clothes, masks, and props to be had. Needless to say we had a great time having a booze and drug induced photo shoot with wheat that ended in a wall, a turntable, and a mannequin being broken. all in all, a blast.
The next morning we chilled, got some good food, and headed towards D.C. where we met the second act in our amazing journey, a woman named Kate from Pittsburgh who has apparently been stalking the band via myspace for or short time now. She is basically a cracked out yoga fiend bent on Burning Man never ending. She did yoga in front of the stage at the show and then wanted to go hang with us afterward. Brad did a number on her and got her to leave us and go to a hotel.
Shoot the next day when brad has multiple crazed texts from her and a guarantee that she will be in Philly. Awesome.
D.C. sucks a fat one by the way. People there say we "just don't know", but I say fuck you, you fucking suck. Shitty attitudes, shitty tastes, and boring spots. Pharmacy Bar has a great jukebox. I'll say that.
Philly blew as well. Played in a basement in a gallery for the promoter, Gavin(Diddles bro), his girl, and kyle and wheat. Bogus. Good to see Gavin though. That kid is awesome. Kate, the yoga bitch, showed up, freaked Gavin and his girl out, gave us some tomatoes that she picked with a 70 year old man on the way, and then got fucking nuts and said she'd see us in Boston.
Thankfully, she didn't. She got wacky and lost and never showed up. No matter though, we didn't need her for the show to suck. We played @ a joint called Bill's Bar. Basically, Mako's mixed with I-Bar for college kids; 18and up. 2 drink tickets TOTAL for the band and we had to leave our stuff there all night because they wouldn't let us load out. Love Boston..hate anywhere near the stadium or out of Cambridge. Period.
Hung with Sean Fitz and Elissa, went to Bukowski Tavern and had great beers, got up this morning and headed here to NYC.
so there is the update. the northeast is hard like i said, and i miss all ya. BAH!! FUCK PALIN IN HER BEADY EYES '08!!!!
