woooo!
i suppose this will be my lasy entry in the tour blog. i think the last time i really updated was post albuquerque so this will be a little spotty. since that time we’ve played austin, dallas, new orleans, atlanta, chapel hill, baltimore, new york, philadelphia, providence and boston as of tonight. Austin, for as large a music scene as it was, had some wonderfully nice people in the crowd....
from new mexico with desert
i’m hanging out at the merch table here in Albuquerque(sp?) so i figured i’d write a few lines while the honorary title plays their set. In the past few we’ve played reno, los angeles, phoenix, and tucson. Lot’s of desert driving, some really beautiful mountains here and there. I don’t think i’m particularly enamoured with ever living in any of these places,...

updaaate from the road
we’ve knocked two shows out of our 25 show list so far: Covington and Cleveland. both were a lot of fun. paper rival, the honorary title and the new frontier are all really quite pleasant to listen to and they’re also really fun/nice guys to hang out with. we stayed with a few of Chris’s friends in covington last night and they were incrdibly nice. they even made us scrambled...
Sooooo...
We may or may not have gone and seen Batman again last night. It was as delightful the second time around. I’m also incredibly excited about two trailers: The Watchmen trailer looks fantastic, as well as the new James Bond unit. In more band related news, we’re getting close to securing a trailer to carry all of our stuff ad it may be bright orange? I’d be excited. We’re...
It's called "reeeehearsal" now...
We headed out this morning, groggy as all get out from last night’s batman binge, at around 8:30. Chris and Andy rolled up in the allmighty Mansions Conversion Van, much to my awe and amazement. It’s full of all things both neat and creepy. Plenty of room for sleeping and quite comfortable, the Vansion has outlets for all yur electrical needs, as well as a special spot for...
Hello and welcome to my tour blog!
Hullo all. This will be home to a photo/text tour blog spanning July 23-August 19 2008. Over the month I’ll be posting photos of places/people/things I see on my crosscountry journey, and, if possible, pictures of me and my gang of ruffians on stage.
If you’re not familiar with what I’m talking about, I’m going to be on a crosscountry tour playing bass for Christopher...
