Gross!

took a field trip to the local half-abandoned mall

Only thing Eric learned in Nebraska - Ted's dad is a total dick

Tour Day 1

After 5 days, 1580 miles and a collective 32 cups of coffee we are HOME!
It was a really fun tour so there wasn't a lot of time for sitting around and updating blogs. But slowly and surely it'll all be documented.

Our Daytrotter experience was amazing and our show in Omaha was so much fun - so far tour is really fucking rad!!!

iphones are the new cameras

On Tuesday night around 150 of the raddest people ever came out for our record release show - I totally forgot to bring a camera and even though we literally live one block away from the Bottle I never got around to going home to get it. Fortunately our friends have clever phones that do awesome things - like take rad photos.

I hope more photos surface soon - I really should have taken some pictures of friends, and the balloons that I tied to the merch table and the Love of Everything Cats.
Which I SOLD OUT OF!! LOE cats are totally a hot item.
In less than 24 hours we'll be in Iowa!!!

Record Release Show!!!

birthday

26 years ago I was born

May Day!!!

"In many countries, May Day is synonymous with International Workers' Day, or Labour Day, a day of political demonstrations and celebrations organised by unions and other groups. May Day is also a traditional holiday in many cultures."

Thanks Wikipedia!!!

My May Day was insane - it involved a very ridiculous night at work followed by an awesome show at the Empty Bottle.
First up, friend Nathan Lilley's band, Call me Lightning from Milwaukee fucking slayed.

Then was Harlem - the reason I was so grumpy today....5 hours sleep between shifts at work is not nearly enough.
I only caught 4 songs before I physically couldn't stand anymore but the first 4 songs were fucking amazing!!!

Black and White style
I hate red lights - note to all dudes doing lights at shows...I HATE RED LIGHTS!!!
I feel like this blog has become "what's happening at the Empty Bottle" updates.
I need to get outside my comfort zone this week for sure.
