Disaster?

New photoblog of our interesting experience on the 11th of January.

It's 3 a.m. and everyone is asleep but me. Weird. Boston is cool

yesterday...

I was driving the van on the NJ Turnpike when the right trailer wheel decided to melt off of the axle. Chaos ensued.

Recovering

So Luke hit me in the head tonight with a lead pipe after playing the show in Wilmington, DE. Hurt. Almost knocked me out.Going to Hoboken NJ tomorrow. Seeing some friends. It should rule.

DC, Cabernet, BCS

Hello lovelies, Andrew here. I hope this post finds you well. It's day 2 of the Riffs and Snow Drifts Tour with Lights Resolve. We had a day off today so we decided to spend it in Washington DC. We saw the Capital building and sat in on the Senate for a few minutes. Cool to see but totally boring. Then we subsequently got kicked out of the Capital by a bitch cop.

Right now we are sitting in a hotel room in DC (a nicer one than were used to) drinking some Cabernet, watching the BCS National Championship. So over all a good night. Looking forward to tomorrow nghts show. Vineland NJ. Never been there so we'll see how it goes. Talk to you all soon.
