homecoming

Chicago was a really fun time. We met lots of new people and played with our friends Yea Big + Kid Static at The Hideout. The audience was huge too, around 150 people showed (w/ performers). Expect audio of this set sometime soon, we got a soundboard recording of it and it sounds great. After the show we stayed at Stefan (Yea Big) and Jamie's apartment and met their dog. Jamie made us homemade donuts in the morning (cinnamon and powdered) and they were extremely delicious.

We left Chicago around eleven in the morning and got into Cleveland a little after six. We went to my aunt's house for food and to meet up with a really big group of family there. Our show was at a coffee house in Lakewood named Bela Dubby. Another touring band named The Caribbean opened for us at this show, they were really good, we probably should have opened for them. We played to a crowd of around 30 or 40 people (mostly family with some people that came out on a whim) and everyone was really receptive of it.

Unfortunately, we had to cancel our New York show at The Black Cow at the end of the tour and head straight home from Cleveland for personal reasons. Hopefully we'll be able to make it back out there eventually and make it up to anyone who wanted to see us (lol x2).


in the next week or two we should have a short tour documentary edited as well as some new songs and various live recordings from the tour.

The Dopest

Hey, we're hanging around. This is Cooper, by the way, I figure I might just say hey. Big thanks to Maraithe for the com, it really keeps me motivated. You Rock. Also, I believe that Tim is reading, so, thanks to him too. aLso, I personally would like to thank Mike and Mike from Cin City for letting us crash in their apartment. Well, I love to capitalize in the right spots, and this keyboard is making it very hard for me to do so. goodnight.

fireworks

highlights of today:
1) the gypsy hut giving us an empty/furnished apartment to stay in, everoyne had a bed to sleep in
2) buying lots of fireworks in indiana
3) grand slam meal at dennys

last night's show at the gypsy hut was a little weird, the bar half of it was packed but the venue wasn't at all. for steeple people, we ran into the bar half and screamed all the words while running around it with the venue door open. we got a lot of funny stares and it was really awkward but think of all those people who would have never heard us, right?

cincinnati chili

we just had some and it's totally awesome

last night's show was another sparsely populated one (hopefully the last), but not bad for a show that came together extremely last minute. we played with the blue eyed gunslingers and red sky (duel drum set action). we stayed the night at joel + jennifer's house in columbus. they were really nice and let us crash in their living room and made us pasta. they also had one of the biggest VHS collections ever, really cool people.

we bumped outta the house around noon today and got our oil changed, before hitting the road. we stopped for taco bell, hologram tatoos and hannah montana stickers. after getting into cincinnati, we parked in the downtown area and explored a little. people are super friendly around here. we've spent the evening with mike from hyacinth house (we're playing with them tomorrow night) and he took us to get some skyline chili (really awesome stuff) and to a really cool record store called shake it records. cooper found whirlwind heat's flamingo honey on 10" and let me buy it, a truly rare find.
