November 2010 - Notes from the Road (Part Two)

Thursday, November 11, 2010
Brooklyn, NY
The Knitting Factory

In the van, before the gig...

The guys have gone off to find food, things are quiet in here for a change. Good times last night in Philadelphia, indeed! The Lawrence Arms are hilarious and they seem to like to drink, so I think we'll get along just fine. They are tight and have a super devoted following. White Wives were fantastic as always. I can't wait for everyone else to get to hear them.

After the show, we hung around with some local music fans and eventually made it out to another part of town. We went to my favorite place in Philadelphia: Ray's Happy Birthday Bar. Some of the other guys went to duke it out between Geno's and Pats. I think Geno's won this time.

We have two shows tonight here in Brooklyn. Both are sold out. This should be interesting!

Friday, November 12
Manchester, NH
Rocko's

In the van, on the way to the gig...

Subway really hit the spot. Not feeling as hungover as I should right now. Things were on fire in Brooklyn last night! Two sold out shows last night with White Wives and The Lawrence Arms headlining.

I was surprised to find the attendees enthusiastic and interested. You don't always get that in "too cool" town. We were slightly intoxicated by the second set, but it loosened us up in a good way.

As expected, nobody from Virgin/EMI showed their faces...nobody except for good old Alex and the company credit card! Solid guy. Also ran into Kevin from back home, Tim from Ludo, folks from Warped and a few old friends. Miami Tony was there and after a few drinks, decided he should buy one of every item at the restaurant across the street.

Lost my phone, found my phone, Rocko's in 60 miles...peace.
