summer slipping

a nice photo of the band from justin's bartending days. seems like so much longer ago, but it was only actually like three weeks. i guess that's summer time perception. the days are just so much more epic. photo taken by pete voelker. pete's tubmlr page

this one is a photo of gugga taken by me, dave.

Shartlesville, PA

 Sometimes you pass a town that you just can't forget the name of. Sometimes you just pass out in your living room when it's really hot out.

don't go softly into the night...

Remember those hypercolor shirts from the 90s? When they used to run out of "hyper-juice" you couldn't make them change anymore. That sucked cause i think they were 20 bucks, which you can't afford if you are 10 I think. So then you were stuck with that regular ass t-shirt that says hypercolor on it and when someone came up and put there hand on it to make an imprint, and it was always a big letdown.

thoughts on sxsw

so..We just returned from our trip to Austin for sxsw. It was fun, needless to say, despite the fact that our crashpad(mallory!!&%^&%) flaked out about 15 minutes after we arrived in Austin, after a 15 hour drive straight from Nashville.  We immediately set about making new friends to search out a place to sleep for the night. Lily, an Austinite, took pity on the five of us at about three AM and invited us to stay. great. one night taken care of. on to the shows. we played two of 'em in Austin, one at a proper venue (the longbanch inn) and one at a house party(thanks BC). they were fun, but we only wore the suits at longbranch. We were given a proper BBC intro from the stage manager, though it was one thirty p.m. and the hangovers were definitely in effect, turning it into a wet breakfast...i have to wonder how long the collective hangover of austin texas lasts after the last poster is taken down and the police barracades all removed from the streets. it's like new years eve for five days straight. i heard the population of austin doubles during south by, that being said, i've never been there any other time so i can only speculate what normal life is like there.

SLIPPED UNDER THE DOOR.

I came home from out of town and an envelope was slipped under my door with a grip of pictures. Here's one of 'em!

MESSAGE FROM A WHITE MAN.

we saw this sign and came up with the name of our song.
perfume and leather.
never wrote a title before the song, but i guess it worked out.
