New York

Hey guys!!



So we had a great first couple of days over here in New York. The first show we played was an acoustic show at Boulder House Coffee in Rochester, NY, where we met up with our friend Mike Lombardo and got a place to stay from Andy's friend Jenna Owens. Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much Jenna, You really saved our lives that night by giving us a place to stay. HA! we had a great time. . .but never did get to have a Garbage plate, not that we regret that one. There is definitely some interesting food over here! lol! So the show went really well too, not a huge crowd, but I feel like we played well and we got some video of an acoustic show for the DVD.



The next night, yesterday, we played at Kenny's Castaways. We played really good show that night, great venue, great sound, met some new friends, and actually re-met some guys from the band FEFF who we played with in Gainesville! What a great time, both bands that played with us that night, well the first guy who played was an acoustic solo act named Steven Mars. The next band as great too, they had me come up and sit in on bass, but unfortunately. . .they had me play a couple songs I didn't know soooooooooooooooooooo, I found it quite laughable! lol it's pretty embarassing to be put on the spot like that, so I found out! HAHA! The couple drinks I had didn't really help the situation either! lol Oh well, 1 more night to show them what I've got!



After the show we all went walking around New York, Matt and Brian met the harmonica player/lead singer of Blues Traveler! His name is John Popper and he gave Matt some great advice, "Don't take advice from anyone, because no one is in your shoes." Wise words. . .or maybe just a cheap cop out for lack of good advice to give, YOU DECIDE. I however ended up getting propositioned for sex by a homeless woman in Jersey! HA! I couldn't believe how low the going price was. . .*Shivers* So yea, fun fun first night in New York, Let's see how the second night goes!!
