From Austin
We've been on tour for 5 days and we're not dead yet. We are, however, beat. Un/loading a Uhaul cube and un/hitching it to your van is not all glitz and champagne. The drive to Texas was long and kind of grueling (2 12-hour days). Albuquerque was on fire. The crowd was rowdy and we followed a punk-metal band, so we cut our weak songs and dropped only bombs. They didn't throw shit. They actually dug it. We won.
Dallas was rainy. A few friends came out and the club was cool, but otherwise uneventful.
Austin so far has been non stop. Our show at Ego's last night destroyed, more because the room was full of friends and family, than for anything we did. The great Bodies of Water and Yippah followed. Around all that, we've squeezed in friends, house parties, parites you need wrist bands and RSVP's to get into (because we're totally LA like that), and family dinners.
Sat we play Treasure Island, which according to our new friend Abby is "a total frat bar", and from another dude, "full of fat chicks." Perfect.
Tomorrow I'm going to see Public Enemy with Ken Bodden, fools.
I'm also hanging out with the Mozes folks, and Parker's working it for buzznet, which is where we're storing all our pictures. Despite how it may look, the only drug consumed on this tour is alcohol. Thought I'd add that for the kids.
