we made it across the country! more than 3000 miles, a shit ton of toll roads through the midwest, and outrageously beautiful fall foliage in upstate New York.
The shows have been all over the place. We got heckled by an old man in Oneonta, and i found my inner New Yorker when someone requested Journey in the middle of a song. (it might just be my favorite rock n' roll moment to date.)
New York pizza totally lives up to its reputation. Our new favorite bar is Burn Castle, where the Barley Wine is strong and smooth and noise is kept to a low hum with a periodic and gentle 'shhhh' from the bar tender. (That sounds weird, but it was perfect.)
Also - we bumped into Louis CK on the street! He was eating ice cream on the corner with his kids, it was almost too perfect to believe. We tried to be cool, but given the fact that he is awesome and we love him, we couldn't help but loudly identifying him and then saying "you're fucking awesome!" (because i am a jerk who drops the f bomb in front of children.) he gave us a side glance and a nod, and then got the hell out of there.
Last night we played at the Shrine in Harlem (pictured above), and it was hands-down our favorite show of tour so far. The space was funky-- plastered in posters, records and other music memorabilia, the vibe was warm and friendly, the music was eclectic and groovy, and the sound man NAILED it!! Mati, if you're out there, will you tour with us and be our sound man?!? :) seriously.
Tonight we play at The Way Station in Brooklyn!
yay. i love tour. and i definitely LOVE new york.
until the next,
