Last night we played the Mercury Lounge for the first time and it was super fun. Maybe someday we’ll go back there and pick up our merch lights.

Tonight we played our first away game (not counting Courtlandt-Land in New Brunswick) at a homey dive bar called the Fire in Philadelphia, next to a bustling firehouse. Some places have a green room for bands; this place had a whole green apartment upstairs for us to lay about in. The show was super fun and there was a pretty good crowd for a Monday night. Michael’s drawing was awesome as always.

After the show we drove through an amazing rainstorm and thundershow. For brief moments the whole sky lit up like it was noon. Now we’re staying in the historic Abraham Lincoln hotel in Reading.

Tomorrow we drive to Pittsburgh to do a radio thing with Dawn, and after we’ll play a show with Dawn at Garfield Artworks, and then spend the night with Cap’n Kevin!
